[@YouSoCouldHaveGotMe]

I love Ed explaining it as if no one has seen the greatest SNL skit EVER

[@ColinPoole]

Didn't Britney Spears come up to him and he had no idea who she was? I think it tracks.

[@YouSoCouldHaveGotMe]

@@ColinPoole haha, that’s right!

[@brendansheehy8124]

The over explaining of the skit makes the story funnier to me for some reason

[@jefft9893]

I don’t think either of those two had a clue what he was talking about

[@theathjr]

Right ?! Haha. I think he’s used to talking to these young kids that weren’t around back then

[@imissnewspapers]

Ed does one fine impression of Chris !!!!

[@mikejohnson3338]

It was actually an impression of Woody Hayes!

[@jkyle1018]

His Lovitz was brief but solid too.

[@Guiltyconscience83]

“He was in rehab but they let him out for the super bowl”. That’s a great idea. Lol

[@tomindenver1331]

A buddy of mine in college got arrested for trying to sell a kilo of coke to an FBI agent. He was sent to federal prison in West Virginia for an "indeterminate sentence." When he got out, they sent him to a half-way house...in Miami, Florida. When he called to tell me, I said "Half way to where...Colombia?!"

[@poindextertunes]

@@tomindenver1331wow its crazy how this doesn’t have more likes

[@WilliamStansbury-xb4ui]

Sounds a little bit like the Betty fraud clinic.

[@LazyStudioGaming]

@@tomindenver1331 next time you tell that story say the college is in Maine.

[@JustTheFlecks]

Ed: “So what’s up, is that it?” 😂 Good job by the host not interrupting every 10 seconds like so many do.

[@AllanAdamson]

yeah Bob Odenkirk he knew Chris Farley back in Chicago & he helped Chris develop the whole Matt Foley motivational speaker persona & they brought it over to SNL with them, truly hilarious stuff.. so many great moments with Chris for us back in the 90s..

[@jasonmacneil2256]

I didn't know that about Bob?? Very cool!! I loved Chris Farley and Bob is amazing in Better Call Saul and Bob was INCREDIBLE in the movie Nobody!!

[@mrrobot8973]

Lmao he spent all that time explaining in detail the sketch that we all know but didn’t take a second to explain who Woody Hayes is

[@scottthomas4779]

Al Bundy talking about Matt Foley making a sandwich out of a cat and mexican food. My childhood just came full circle lol

[@HandyMan657]

He's talking about Farley making that sandwich, listen again.

@PKro311 smh obviously I know that.

[@dynamicvoltage9765]

That's a great Matt Foley impersonation

He scored four touchdowns in a single game!

Ed referencing mega stars like they are just some guy that works at a gas station. Classic.

[@billdoty6438]

Farley, one of the greats, miss him to this day

[@DesertRat332]

I thought he was better than John Belushi or John Candy. Doing a "dance-off" against Patrick Swayze? And he pulled it off!

[@shawnuel]

That's a pretty good Farley from O'Neill. Except he can't forget the van!

[@repetemyname842]

In a van... Ed's so great. Another national treasure along with CF and RW.

[@WilliamStansbury-xb4ui]

The key word here is Van.

[@DelbertGrady2024]

Fun fact: John Belushi once played Woody Hayes in an SNL news sketch.

[@kessel12]

I love that Ed thinks people of the generation of the hosts may not know about Chris Farley and the Matt Foley sketch. “Google it”. 😅

[@peartree8338]

They didn't though. That was the awkward silence of "young people" feeling dumb. Which they should feel. Dumb as bricks.

[@pixelcultmedia4252]

I was barely listening, doing work and the cat story had me in tears.

[@Hypno-Swag]

Ed O'Neil is waaaaaaaaaaaaay more open and outgoing on the phone. That's the Ed that the MWC cast probably got to see daily. 😂

[@lakeozarkrei3767]

Love Ed O'neill!!

[@williamgullett8071]

Did he really just like tell someone to Google it like somebody never saw it?

[@MikeTheMike2]

"I knew a guy named Chris Farley? You know who that is?" Oh Ed...

[@robhab11]

Ed is the best!!!

[@user-kt9ir6bo8z]

…He lives in a van, down by the river…don’t forget the VAN!!!

[@davidsecord6412]

What I rarely read is that Farley decided to wait until the live show to fall on the coffee table. No one had any idea he was going to do this during the show. If you look at Spade's reaction when it happens you can see the shock. One of the things production hated was going off script, but Farley's takes were so wonderful and "must see" that you just had to let him go.

[@shantor100]

And spade and Applegate couldn't even look at him because they were laughing

[@halevictor]

Missed maybe the most important part ..... In a VAN down by the river. Classic stuff.

[@theathjr]

Oh dear Lord this is comedic GOLD

Not just "by the river," he lived "in a van down by the river"!

[@christianmayall6713]

Fake laughter is so cringe

[@Vitriolblog]

Ed O'Neil is actually a Shakespearean trained actor who was told that because of his features he would never go over with the Elizabethan audiences. This led him to audition for a sitcom on Fox TV as a one-off shot in the dark.

[@user-zi1ze2ks5o]

was he studying the Shakespeare in between playing football with Mean Joe Greene?
