Without Farley we now have to endure an endless stream of Kevin James, Hollywood's replacement as the 'heavy funny guy'.

Any fan of his should read
The Chris Farley Show , a biography done by his brother. Very tragic read, but also very interesting and enjoyable for any SNL fan during his era. Sad how close he came to mainstream stardom with Shrek & Fatty Arbuckle, both mentioned in the book. I didn't realize he was 90% done the Shrek voiceover work, to the point where they almost just had someone come in who sounded like him to finish the rest. He would've been hilarious as Shrek. I wish you could hear some of the voiceover work, I hear it was classic, and quite a different character than the Mike Myers version.
