Chris Farley Showers With Mike Myers

Mike Myers Recalls Chris Farley Pressing His Naked Body Into Him in the Shower, Every Week at SNL
NBC

The late, great Chris Farley was one of the funniest people ever to be on SNL, and a bona fide movie star for films like Tommy Boy. Backstage, he was a relentless prankster who loved crossing lines.

Mike Myers recalled on the Fly on the Wall podcast recalled a long, very weird running joke, in which Farley would regularly join him, uninvited, in the shower, pressing his body into Myers’ and declaring his love for him.

“I’d beat on him. I’d go ‘Farley, get the f— out of here! Get the f— out!’ I couldn’t hit him very hard because it was so funny,” Myers recalled.

But Farley did it week after week, and Myers was so distracted by the demands of the show that he never expected it.

“Every week I forgot — you’d think you’d remember every week,” Myers added. The reason he didn’t remember, Myers explained, was that he was so distracted by the work involved in the show.
