sad clowns
As we learned recently,
SNL's
Chris Farley was far from coddled or loved during his final years by fellow cast members. And now,
a new biography on Chris Farley titled
The Chris Farley Show will divulge more depressing tales from friends of Farley and how exactly they went about attempting to help the struggling addict get better (hint: they didn't). From former co-stars dishing on his desperate attempts to be loved using prostitutes to anecdotes involving his habit of licking everything from his shoelaces to his wallet, one revelation made by
Chris Rock stands out:
"'Chippendales' was a weird sketch. I always hated it...The joke of it is, basically, 'We can't hire you because you're fat.' There's no comic twist to it. It's just [bleep]ing mean. Chris wanted so much to be liked. As funny as that sketch was...it's one of the things that killed him."
More dismal details regarding Farley's last days after the jump.
