Publisher's note

"The New York Times" bestselling biography of an American comedy legend
After three years of sobriety, Chris Farleyas life was at its creative peak until a string of professional disappointments chased him back to drugs and alcohol. He fought hard against them, but it was a fight he would lose in December 1997. Farleyas fans immediately drew parallels between his death and that of his idol, John Belushi. Without looking deeper, however, many failed to see that Farley was much more than just another Hollywood drug overdose. In this officially authorized oral history, Farleyas friends and family remember his work and life. Along the way, they tell a remarkable story of boundless energy, determination, and laughter that could only keep the demons at bay for so long.

An officially authorized portrait of the late comedian draws on interviews by friends and family members to evaluate the inspirations that motivated his life work, his lost battle with drugs and alcohol, and his creative legacy. Reprint.

Annotation

A hilarious and heartbreaking biography, compiled from hundreds of interviews with friends, family, and comedian comrades of Chris Farley, THE CHRIS FARLEY SHOW is an intimate, often troubling portrait of a man who did everything to excess: his brilliantly spastic comedy, his famous generosity, and his devastating drug addictions that led to his death at the age of 33. A must-read for his fans, this book should also be intriguing for those who don't know, or don't even like, Farley's lowbrow antics--it's less about comedy than about the psychological forces that led to Farley's lovable triumph and tragic downfall.
