Chauncey Van Van der Van, of the downtown Van Van der Vans is best known for being a well-to-do socialite, notorious playboy and privileged trust fund baby. Chauncey is well known for the signature red ascots worn around his dainty neck, that are imported directly from New Jersey. He spends most of his time perpetuating his social status and trying to find the true meaning of life by partying, carousing, and shunning those less fortunate, or as Chauncey refers to them, "Eww Working Folk."

On October 5, 2012, Van Van der Van was elected President of the United States after a grueling campaign.

On December 29, 2018, Chauncey was made an Honorary Detective after a large donation to the F.O.P. He was brought in to solve the murder of Magnanimous T, who had been killed with a microwave. He and the audience managed to correctly arrest Chauncey's archnemesis Horatio Gorgonzola for the killing.
