Matt Foley

Matt Foley or Matt Foley, Motivational Speaker was a character created and performed by comedian Chris Farley, popularized by his performance as the character on the American sketch comedy program Saturday Night Live (although he had performed the character in other comedy groups before being a cast member on Saturday Night Live). Essentially, Foley was the very antithesis of a good motivational speaker, and this is where most would agree the humor arose. Farley named the character after his childhood friend of the same name. The character was moderately popular, but not so much as to be carried over to a feature film.
