'''Matt Foley''' is a fictional character from the [[sketch comedy]] program ''[[Saturday Night Live]]'' performed by [[Chris Farley]]. Foley is a [[motivational speaker]] who exhibits characteristics atypical of someone in that position: whereas motivational speakers are usually successful and charismatic, Foley is abrasive, clumsy and down on his luck. The sketch was popular in its original run and went on to become one of Farley's best-known characters.
