Episode 679: Chris Farley: Down by the River

On this episode of the world famous Sofa King Podcast, we talk about the wild life, tragic death, and amazing comedy of Chris Farley. If you lived through the 90s, you couldn’t escape his presence. He was a break-out star on Saturday Night Live, and he was in some of the top comedies of his day (I’m looking at you Tommy Boy). He rolled with the likes of Adam Sandler, David Spade, and Chris Rock, and he partied. He partied a bit too hard. He was checked in to rehab a dozen times in two years, and his antics were legendary. He was lined up to star in some pretty serious acting roles and headline some crazy projects before his death from an overdose at 33. If you want to live in a van down by the river, give this one a listen!
