Chris Farley gets posthumous star
Comedian Chris Farley posthumously received the 2,289th star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame on Friday, four days before the release of the “Tommy Boy Holy Schnike Edition” DVD.
Farley’s “Saturday Night Live” cast mates Chris Rock and David Spade joined members of Farley’s family at the ceremony in front of the Improv Olympic West, where Farley performed.
“I think it’s sweet that everyone still has a real nice place in their hearts for him, they still remember him,” Spade said. “And he goes down as one of the greats. And I still think about him every day. And I know if he was here today, he’d probably be working for [Adam] Sandler too.”
Farley was on “Saturday Night Live” from 1990 to ‘95, portraying such characters as a fanatic Chicago Bears fan and a topless Chippendales performer.
