  (#1) Motivational Speaker Matt Foley

  Easily one of the best and most well-known performances of his life, Chris Farley turned into a legend in his portrayal of motivational speaker Matt Foley. Appearing in a handful of sketches, Matt Foley attempted to help youths with his unique story about living in a van down by the river. Only rarely during the comical sketches could the other actors, such as David Spade, keep from laughing on camera due to the absolute hilariousness of the piece.

  (#7) The Chris Farley Show

  Appearing as a never-prepared talk show host, Chris Farley interviewed a number of celebrities, generally the weekly Saturday Night Live host, on "The Chris Farley Show."  Farley was nervous at all times, constantly doubting himself and asking elementary questions, many of which asked the guest if they 'remembered when' they appeared in film scenes.

  (#8) Coffee Talk

  For everyone who ever wanted to see Mike Meyers portray a stereotype of a middle-aged Jewish woman with a thick New York accent, "Coffee Talk" was absolute 'buttah.' Meyers portrayed talk show host Linda Richman as Richman and other hosts, played by the likes of Madonna and Roseanne Barr, answered calls and proclaimed their love for Barbra Streisand. In one notable sketch, Streisand herself even appeared on the program, much to the surprise of the actors and characters alike.

  In yet another sketch featuring Mike Meyers, "Sprockets" featured main character Dieter, an effeminate German who enjoyed tight black leotards and wire-rimmed glasses. After urging fans to 'touch my monkey,' mocking his boring guests, and showing Germany's most disturbing videos, Dieter would end each sketch frantically with techno-dancing.

  (#19) Opera Man

  Showcasing his vocal prowess, Adam Sandler often appeared as a guest on the mid-show news program "Weekly Update" as Opera Man to tell the news in song. Opera Man was just one of many musical characters played by Sandler on "Weekend Update" as the comic also debuted his popular holiday songs, such as the "Chanukah Song" during the segment.

  (#13) Mary Katherine Gallagher

  
  Played by Molly Shannon, "Mary Katherine Gallagher" was an unpopular and quirky Catholic school girl who was sure she was a 'superstar.' Later appearing in a film titled Superstar, Mary Katherine Gallagher was either hyper or ultra-nervous at any given time and especially anxious when she took the stage to audition for one of various school-related drama performances.
