(NewsNation) — Chevy Chase is calling for a reunion with his “Three Amigos!” co-stars on their hit Hulu series.

Chase said he would love to appear on Steve Martin and Martin Short’s series “Only Murders in the Building,” during an appearance at the Altria Theater in Richmond, Virginia, on Dec. 29.

“Right now, they’re busy on TV making that ‘I only have murders in my building,’” Chase said of Short and Martin, before his wife corrected him saying, “’Only Murders in the Building.’ “It’s a very good show,” according to People magazine.

Chase, who’s the subject of the just-released CNN documentary “I’m Chevy Chase and You’re Not,” said the Hulu series is “lacking” him.

“It’s a good show. Yes, it’s good, they’re good, but they really are lacking me. That’s where we gotta get going.” The “Fletch” star added. “If you really want to have a movie with Steve and Marty, you have to have me.”

He continued, “I miss them, that’s all I’m saying. I really miss them, they’re great.”

‘Three Amigos!’

Martin, Short and Chase starred in the 1986 movie, where “Three actors accept an invitation to a Mexican village to perform their onscreen bandit fighter roles, unaware that it is the real thing,” according to an IMDB description.

“Three Amigos!” was directed by John Landis and written by Martin, Randy Newman and “Saturday Night Live” creator Lorne Michaels.

The film made over $39 million at the domestic box office.

‘I’m Chevy Chase and You’re Not’ revelations

In the CNN documentary, Chase opened up about his personal and professional life, including regrets about leaving “SNL,’ where he was an original cast member.

“It was a mistake to leave SNL,” the 82-year-old comedian said.

Chase was a staple in the show’s inaugural season in 1975 and was the first host of the long-running “Weekend Update.”

The “Community” actor left the show in the middle of the show’s second season, deciding to pursue a career in Hollywood.

Chase and his family revealed that he doesn’t remember many of the controversies he’s been in because he lost some of his memory after suffering heart failure in 2021.  

“Well, I mean, he’s 80-something and has basically come back from the dead,” Caley Chase said in the doc. “Oh my God, he had heart failure. Have they talked about that at all? It’s so hard to talk about.”
