He received two Emmy Awards and a Golden Globe Award for his comedy writing and live comic acting on the show.
This overstates Chase’s awards for Saturday Night Live. He won two Emmys for the show, but official Golden Globes records list no Golden Globe win for him at all.
Full reasoning
Official Television Academy records show Chevy Chase has 3 Primetime Emmy wins and 5 nominations overall, including two Emmy wins in 1976 for NBC's Saturday Night and another Emmy win in 1978 for The Paul Simon Special. Official Golden Globes records, however, list only two Golden Globe nominations, both in 1979 for Foul Play (New Star Of The Year - Actor and Best Performance by an Actor in a Motion Picture - Musical or Comedy), and no Golden Globe wins.
So the statement that he "received ... a Golden Globe Award" for his work on Saturday Night Live is incorrect. The official record supports two Emmy wins for SNL, but no Golden Globe award for that work—or any Golden Globe win at all.
