He was said to have idolized John Belushi. His life story bears a striking
similarity to that of Belushi: both Farley and Belushi were regulars at
The Second City in Chicago, both then went on to become cast members on
Saturday Night Live (1975) and then later do feature films, both had obesity problems,
both had a reputation for having an out-of-control lifestyle, and both
died from drug overdoses at the age of thirty-three.
