A Christmas TRAGEDY almost occurred in Buffalo, New York, on Wednesday night. Chevy Chase attended a screening of "Christmas Vacation" . . . and when he came out to greet the crowd, he fell off the stage.
Chevy was actually wheeled onstage in a wheelchair, but then he got up and walked toward the edge of the stage. That's when he went down.
