| | Chris Farley at AllExperts |
 | | Farley was one of two new SNL cast members announced in the spring of 1990, after the 1989-1990 season came to a tumultuous end, thanks to Nora Dunn's boycotting of the episode hosted by raunchy comedian, Andrew "Dice" Clay. |
 | | Farley, who had struggled with obesity, alcohol, and drug addiction for years, was found dead in his 60th floor apartment of the John Hancock Center in Chicago on December 18, 1997. |
 | | David Spade did not attend Farley's funeral because he "could not be in a room where Chris was in a box." However, he did introduce a retrospective of his friend, a "The Chris Farley Show" sketch in which a shy, nervous Farley interviewed Paul McCartney, on the 25th anniversary special of Saturday Night Live. |
