Important: Second City Has Released The First Time Chris Farley Was Ever Matt Foley On Stage

Farley waddles in at 2:00

YouTube – From opening night: July 26th, 1990. 3 1/2 years before the SNL skit.

Absolutely nailed it right from the beginning. Couple notable lines omitted compared to the SNL version a la “Hey Dad, is that Bill Shakespeare over there?” but this clearly shows how much of a genius this man was from the beginning. Almost nothing was changed when it was brought over to the big time.

Nice when Bob Odenkirk is the Dad in your skit, too. Anytime Saul Goodman is invited to the party it’s a worthy addition, even though Phil Hartman still takes the cake.

[maurice’s note: Smitty had this ready to go but I bumped him since Tollefson was “news”. Nate got it first but still posting anyway.]
