Chris Farley

Beloved comedian was found dead on Dec. 18, 1997.

He also performed three songs during the episode, including the Beatles' "Hey Jude."

Before Mike Myers became synonymous with the green ogre named Shrek, his fellow SNL castmate Chris Farley was actually cast in the role and had recorded about 80-90% of his dialogue. Then, in 1997, Farley tragically died of a drug overdose, DreamWorks was forced to recast the role and, in doing so, radically rethink their version of Shrek. Today, the first footage of Farley as Shrek has popped up online and shows a very different character than the one we have come to know and love.

I love SNL and have been watching since I was a little girl. Over the the years their have been so many great comedians and sketches but what is your favorite? Wayne's World, Buh-Weet, Church lady, Weekend Update? Well, Rolling Stone has cracked the code and not shocking the greatest of all time goes to (drumroll) Chris Farley!

I don't know if there's a movie I've seen more times than 'Tommy Boy'. If you ask me, it is without question one of the funniest and most quotable movies ever made. Hell, I have a 'Tommy Boy' poster hanging up in my apartment...That's how much I love it. So, imagine my excitement when the gag reel made it's way to YouTube recently.
