Melissa McCarthy KILLS IT As Chris Farley’s ‘Matt Foley, Motivational Speaker’ On SNL 40’s ‘Weekend Update’

It was only a matter of time before Saturday Night Live paid tribute to one of the show’s most iconic characters of all time, Chris Farley’s “Matt Foley, Motivational Speaker.” Melissa McCarthy dressed up like Foley and perfectly nailed the “I LIVE IN A VAN, DOWN BY THE RIVER!” schtick in a way that would make Chris Farley smile.

Could you imagine the world that we’d live in if Farley, John Belushi, and Phil Hartman were still alive? RIP.
