The person behind the punchline
A little backstory.
Chris Farley was a comedian and actor who came to Saturday Night Live from Chicago's Second City. He spent five seasons in SNL's cast, from 1990 to 1995, bringing exuberant physical comedy to characters such as motivational speaker Matt Foley and the nervous celebrity interviewer on The Chris Farley Show.
Farley also starred in Tommy Boy, Black Sheep and Beverly Hills Ninja. His performances combined outsized movement with characters whose eagerness and insecurity could be as comic as their confidence. He died in 1997, after a career that connected live ensemble comedy with television sketches and feature films.
