The fact that he made sure to ask Mrs. Farley permission first, and she was so excited because she loves when anyone talks about Chris makes it even better. Sandler is the best.

[@altusshow7574]

Whatever you think of Sandler as an actor, he got his friend trending 20+ years after his death. Loyalty is not letting the world forget your friends name.

"We all die twice. First, when we take our last breath. Second, when our name is spoken for the last time." If this is true, Chris Farley will live forever.

During all this quarantine business, I have printed out dozens of pictures of friends, family, musicians, inspirational figures and I have a picture of Chris Farley, Chris Rock, Adam Sandler, and David Spade and they are all smiling, but Chris Farely just has his head thrown back in laughter, open mouth, eyes closed, cracking up. You can tell he was the life of the party in that photo and likely the life of all parties.

[@altusshow7574]

I kind of wonder if maybe that was his intention. Chris has been gone for 20+ but that weekend Farley was trending and old SNL clips of him were all over. He refuses to let the world forget his friend, and even if you don't respect his acting you gotta respect that loyalty.

[@Urlocalsaige]

Adam couldn'tve been more on point with his tribute to Chris Farley if he tried. He nailed that on all counts, and showed nothing but heart with that one.

The part about his father 💔 I hope it inspired even one person watching to decide to go to rehab.

[@christofferjenzen78]

@@melissasaint3283 Farley went to rehab 17 times but his demons and insecurities were too much for him so Im not sure at all that thats what we should take away from the song. Its not an anti-drug song,just one man singing about missing the hell out of his friend.

[@christofferjenzen78]

@@melissasaint3283 Of course Sandler wishes that with all his heart. But the song is a celebration of his life, not a commercial for rehab. Since the moral of that story might be that it did not save him, although in general,i agree with you. Sandler loved him with all his flaws,so did alotta people...If people read up on Farley,I think "Be careful what you wish for and Dont be afraid too seek help and intense therapy" is what they can take away here. Of course rehab is a good thing. In his case,it becomes both depressing and inspiring. 17 stints but also 3 years sober which few know about. All those insecurities and the fame and money came so fast but didnt make him any happier. I dont know exactly when heroine came into the picture but that was the death blow. You almost wish someone held him at gun point near the end and locked him in a room and let him detox....but some people are always gonna do what they do,even if it kills them. His issues were so rooted in him,rehab couldnt do it all,he neede a network and guidance too. If people hear the song and wanna look up old Farley material,that makes me happy.But im with you,we're on the same team.

[@melissasaint3283]

@@christofferjenzen78 I didn't think he was on heroin, was he? I thought it was mostly liquor and coke at the end, and then a morphine speedball combined with the condition of his heart? Maybe I'm remembering wrong, its been so many years. I agree though... Ive read about how hard he struggled, how often he went to Mass, how much half of him wanted to be sober and lose weight so he could live. But it seems like the other half couldnt feel hope or see a future for himself beyond the dead-end in his idols' footsteps, and wanted to OD at 33. He had cripplingly low self esteem and I think maybe a mood disorder. But most people, thank God, are not in Chris Farley's shoes. And even if they are, treatments are better now. I hope someone listens to the line about his Dad's turn to cry and reaches out for help...

[@christofferjenzen78]

@@melissasaint3283 Im actually trying to find the book the chris farley show as we speak. There is alotta contradictions. Lorne michaels said "As soon as I heard it was heroine,i wouldnt have any of it. I had been through that with John (Belushi),I wasnt doing it again"...although to the uninformed,it can be confused with morphine they are both opiats. Now,Im uncertain but booze,Coke and way too much weight were the other three killers. Farley really lost his mind after BHN,he was so ashamed of it,he went off the deep end. Being a too sensitive slapstick comedian critisized by pretentious, proffessional movie critics is not gonna work,you need to know some will give you shit....but after every movie,his relapses went from bad to worse. A downside with rehab if your issues are deeper, along with in his case,catholic guilt,is the shame and feeling of letting everyone down when you come back strong,then relapse over and over. Then rehab becomes a burden. Feels like he had to apologize alot for just being who he was and feeling miserable. Atleast his troubles are over and he left us alotta stuff to laugh at.

[@cgh7337]

SNL was absolutely loaded with talent in the eraly 1990s. Farley, Sandler, Spade, Mike Myers, Phil Hartman, Chris Rock, Kevin Nealon, Rob Schneider, Tim Meadows, Dana Carvey, Julia Sweeney, Norm MacDonald, Ellen Cleghorn and a bunch more I know I'm forgetting. I was a dork in high school and never went out on the weekends but how I LOVED when 11:30 Saturday night would roll around knowing I will laugh my ass off and forget about my problems for the next 1 1/2 hours.

Brandon S Hey! I’ve noticed that you have been biased against Late Night due to some of its political biases, and I understand where you’re coming from, but please show some respect for Chris Farley. Being disrespectful towards someone who has passed away just makes you look like an asshole. Despite however you may feel about his comedy, or Late Night’s political beliefs, two things are undeniable: It’s disrespectful to act the way you have been towards someone who has passed away, and Chris Farley was an absolute legend, as well as, from what I have seen, and heard from several other actors/comedians, a phenomenal human being.

Chris Farley was one of a kind... one of the funniest EVER.... miss him so much😁

[@HardikShah17]

I love you Jimmy. Really, you're the best!

[@badandylaoc]

Fallon isn't the funniest dude but he's run in the funniest crowds and appreciates comedy and that's what makes him worthy of the Tonight Show. Beautiful story.

[@jayjones9225]

The personality Jimmy Fallon has is the best type of personality to be. Just wanting to put a smile on everyone’s face

Farley lives on through his work and through us, i watch tommy boy every year on the anniversary of his death. he was a special man gone too soon
