We never could have performed live for an hour and a half every week if we were doing drugs.
Meaning of the quote
Chevy Chase, a famous American comedian, is saying that if he and his team were using drugs, they would not have been able to perform on stage for an entire hour and a half every single week. He's explaining that doing drugs would have made it impossible for them to consistently deliver such a long and high-energy performance for their audience.
