Dec. 16, 2022 – By the end of 1992, Chris Farley was already riding an incredible wave.
Farley, who had joined the cast of “Saturday Night Live” in 1990, had already done several characters that had proven popular with audiences–like the famous Chippendale’s Audition or Bill Swerski’s Superfans— and appeared in his first movie, “Wayne’s World.” However, Farley’s addictions were already a well-known fact to those who worked with him.
In “The Chris Farley Show: A Biography in Three Acts,” brother Tom Farley and co-author Tanner Colby compiled an oral history of Chris Farley’s life, speaking to those who knew him in order to get a better sense of his life and what happened to him. Throughout the book, many references were made to Farley’s alcohol and drug abuse, which became an issue at SNL early on, resulting in trips to several rehabilitation clinics to get sober.
