My name is Matt Foley, and I am a motivational speaker. First off, I am 35 years old, I am divorced, and I live in a van down by the river! One of the most iconic characters from the late comedian Chris Farley is that of Matt Foley, a hyper-abrasive motivational speaker known for shouting off peoples ears and clumsily falling into furniture. The character made its television debut on Saturday Night Live in May 1993 (with host Christina Applegate), but Farley had been playing Foley for years before on stage.
