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 the coauthor of the New York Times bestselling The Chris Farley Show, as well as coauthor of Belushi: A Biography. He is currently writing a third book, Some of My Best Friends are Black: A History of Racial Integration in America. He lives in New York City.
