...viewers expect starting Sept. 7? First, an early start: the Chevy Chase Show will have a half-hour jump on Jay and Dave. He will do a nightly version of his SNL Weekend Update routine. He will play sketch characters: a Monsieur Faux Pas, perhaps the old SNL "land shark" metamorphosed into a dinosaur. Big-name guests?
