Chris Farley Took $100 From ‘SNL’ Castmates for This Disgusting Prank

When people said Chris Farley would do anything for a laugh, they meant literally anything. Once, he entered a crowded SNL meeting room completely naked, according to writer Fred Wolf in oral history Live From New York. “He had his dick tucked between his legs and he was doing Jame Gumb from Silence of the Lambs,” Wolf remembered. “He took a golf club and shoved it about three inches up his ass, then pulled the golf club out and started licking it.”

It would be easy to chalk up such outlandish tales to urban legend if other cast members and staffers didn’t have their own hilariously odious stories about Farley. Jay Mohr recently told another gross-out yarn to Will Sasso on his MohrStories podcast.  

Mohr and comedian Dave Attell, then an SNL writer, shared an office. One night, the two were getting nothing done at two in the morning when Farley walked in with a hearty, “What are you guys doing?” 

Happy for the distraction, Mohr claimed that, “like creepy twins,” he and Attell made exactly the same request at exactly the same time: “We’ll pay you $100 to take a shit out the window.”

Farley was game, but he wanted the money up front. Attell and Mohr coughed up the hundred bucks, and it was game on. Farley opened the 17th-floor window, unbuckled his pants, and thrust his bare behind out into the frigid December air. It was a precarious position, Mohr said. “Literally, he could fall to his death. It was dicey,” he remembered. “And we were laughing like we were on mushrooms because… we were on mushrooms.”

Besides the danger, there was another problem: Farley didn’t really need to eliminate. He grimaced and bore down for a full three minutes, trying to conjure up his side of the bargain. “Our money’s in his pocket,” said Mohr. “He’s purple from effort. Veins. Snot bubble. And it’s Farley, so he’s doing the…” (Mohr demonstrates Farley’s effort to poop, churning his arms like Matt Foley in full motivational-speaker mode.)

The effort paid off. “This little nugget falls out of his butt into the window onto my desk,” Mohr remembered. Disappointed with the effort, Mohr demanded his money back. “That’s not out the window!” 

But the bet was paid off in Farley’s mind. To make matters even more disgusting, the comic wiped his butt with his hand and chased his coworkers around 30 Rock with outstretched arms like some sort of fecal zombie. “We’re trying to outrun each other because we don’t want to get Frankenstein dog shit hand,” Mohr remembered. 

Sasso couldn’t stop laughing as Mohr recounted the story. “I don’t care if Chris Farley never made it in show business,” the Mad TV star announced. “There would be a conversation  happening somewhere where it’s like, ‘Oh yeah, the funniest person ever.’”
