If you've been counting the minutes until Chevy Chase returns to the limelight in this Friday's Law & Order episode by playing the not-entirely-fanciful role of a Hollywood actor whom, upon being stopped for drunk driving, delivers a virulently anti-Semitic diatribe to his arresting officers, we suggest you read no further: The LA Daily News' The Mayor of Television blog has seen the episode, and details the original SNL breakout star's virtual disappearance beneath the skin of a matzo-mistrusting conspiracy theorist:

B*TCH is astonishingly lightly veiled extrapolation of Martha Stewart's fall from grace, complete with hard-as-nails female tycoon, fictitious stop-loss orders, SEC investigations, and a good-looking broker-walker. The makers should have at least thrown in an improbable twist — a lesbian affair with the publicist, for instance — to maintain the semblance of fiction.
