Saturday Night Live brought tons of hilarious comedians into the deserved spotlight; John Belushi, Eddie Murphy, and Mike Myers are just a few of them from the earlier days. The Saturday Night sketch show just celebrated its 40th anniversary, and it's still running strong with current cast members like Kate McKinnon, Aidy Bryant, and Kyle Mooney. If you haven't heard of them yet, you will soon, mark my words!
Chris Farley is one of the greats on the long list. He was on the show from 1990 to 1995, and he created some of the sketch show's most memorable characters. Unless you were living under a rock for the first five years in the '90s, you've probably heard of the lunch lady, "daaaa Bearss," and the Chippendale's dancer. One of his most famous characters, though, was Matt Foley. Matt Foley was a motivational speaker who, ironically, lived in a van down by the river… and he made sure that if you came away from his speeches with any information, that was it!
While Farley left us way too early, at the young age of 33, we still have all of his classic characters to remember him by. For the Christmas episode of 1993, Chris Farley appeared as Foley, only this time, he was working as a mall Santa. As you might have guessed, Foley doesn't make for a very jolly Mr. Claus, but it does make for some really great comedy!
Just make sure you make it all the way until 3:54.
Please SHARE this classic character with your friends and family this holiday!
