Billy Joel<\/a>\u2019s ex-wife<\/a> Katie Lee Biegel\u00a0has detailed an awkward encounter with controversial comedian Chevy Chase<\/a>. <\/p>\n

In an episode of her podcast, All on the Table with Katie Lee Biegel<\/a>, Biegel, 44, recounted a time when Chase, 82, shooed her away after mistaking her for wait staff at a Hollywood<\/a> party. <\/p>\n

It seems Chevy Chase left a lasting impression on Katiel Lee Biegel, but not for the right reasons.\u00a0YouTube\/All on The Table <\/p>\n

Biegel recalled the frosty run-in after a podcast listener asked about the nicest and not-so-nice celebrities she\u2019s met over the years. <\/p>\n

\u201cMy celebrity run-in that was not so nice was Chevy Chase,\u201d Biegel began.<\/p>\n

The cooking show host explained the incident took place during her marriage to the Uptown Girl singer<\/a>, whom she married in 2004 before divorcing in 2009. <\/p>\n

Biegel said she and Joel hosted an \u201cold-school keg party\u201d at a house they planned to demolish. <\/p>\n

\u201cWe decided to have a kind of tear-the-house-down party, keg party, and I had Jell-O shots, kegs. It was a very star-studded<\/a> party,\u201d she recalled. <\/p>\n

\u201cMy ex-husband was standing talking to Chevy Chase and his wife and I had a tray of Jell-O shots,\u201d Biegel said. <\/p>\n

\u201cAnd I went up with the tray of Jell-O shots and said, \u2018Do you guys want a shot?\u2019 and Chevy thought that I was the staff at the party.\u201d <\/p>\n

\u201cAnd he took his hand and shooed me away,\u201d she added. <\/p>\n

Chase has long had a reputation for being difficult to work with. <\/p>\n

Despite being a comedy icon, his controversial personality has overshadowed much of his later career due to decades of well-documented feuds with co-stars, on-set meltdowns, and allegations of unprofessional behaviour. <\/p>\n

Biegel was married to Joel for five years. They met in a New York hotel in 2002 and married two years later, when she was 23 and he was 55. <\/p>\n

Their high-profile marriage eventually ended amicably. <\/p>\n

Biegel is a star in her own right, a cookbook author, television food critic, host and chef. <\/p>\n

\"Billy<\/p>\n

Following his marriage to Biegel, Joel married again and had two daughters.\u00a0Instagram\/@billyjoel<\/p>\n

After her marriage to Joel, she found lasting romance with television producer Ryan Biegel. They married in 2018 and welcomed a daughter in 2020. <\/p>\n

Joel went on to marry Alexis Roderick, an equestrian and executive, in 2015. <\/p>\n

They welcomed two daughters, one a month after they married in August 2015 and a second in October 2017. The pair are still together. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Billy Joel\u2019s ex-wife Katie Lee Biegel\u00a0has detailed an awkward encounter with controversial comedian Chevy Chase.
