An Early Sketch Featuring Chris Farley as His Famous Motivational Speaker Character Matt Foley

“First off, I am 35 years old. I am divorced, and I live in a van down by the river!”

The Second City has uploaded an early sketch that features Chris Farley as his famous motivational speaker character Matt Foley. The sketch also stars Bob Odenkirk, who created the Matt Foley character, as a concerned father.

A version of this sketch later appeared on Saturday Night Live with Phil Hartman replacing Odenkirk as the father, Julia Sweeney as the mother, and David Spade and Christina Applegate playing the two kids.

For comparison, here is the sketch as it appeared on Saturday Night Live in 1993.
