I think Smith actually wanted to adapt (at one point anyway) "Fletch Won," which is about a young Fletch trying to make his name as a reporter. He wanted Chase to narrate, but apparently it's not gonna happen.....Yes, Chase was great doing that wise-ass type of comedy (basically playing himself lol) in "Fletch," "Caddyshack," etc.
Ah, that sounds right. I've never read the novels, so when I think Fletch, my mind always goes to the first movie. I remember people thinking Ryan Reynolds would be perfect for the role, but I think that style of comedy was very time specific, as evidenced by the massive success of the Chevy Chase Show.
