The Chris Farley Show
is the official, authorized biography of the late actor and comedian Chris
Farley. Fans knew Chris as Saturday Night Live’s sweaty,
swaggering, motivational speaker; as the irresistible Chippendales stripper;
and as Tommy Callahan, the underdog hero of Tommy Boy. His family knew
him as sensitive and passionate, deeply religious, and devoted to bringing
laughter into others’ lives.
This book is Chris Farley as remembered by his family, friends, and colleagues.
Featuring over 100 new and exclusive interviews with David Spade,
Chris Rock, Alec Baldwin, Lorne
Michaels, Janeane Garofalo, and many more, it
is the all-to-true story of a man who lived to make us laugh and died
as a result.
The Chris Farley
Show is an evocative and harrowing portrait of a family trapped by
addiction, a father forced to bury a son, and a gifted and kindhearted
man ultimately torn apart by the demons inside him.
TOM FARLEY, JR., Chris's older brother, is president and managaing director
of the Chris Farley foundation. He lives in Madison, Wisconsin.
TANNER
COLBY is former
head writer of the National Lampoon Radio Hour and coauthor of
Belushi: A Biography. He lives in New York City.
