Melissa McCarthy recalled meeting David Spade while dressed as an iconic 'SNL' character made famous by his good friend Chris Farley: 'I got pretty choked up.'

The SNL alums met McCarthy during the show's 40th-anniversary celebration in 2015, when she paid tribute to Farley's character during its "Weekend Update" segment. "Because that was really his jacket, I got pretty choked up because [Chris] was someone — I waited on him when I worked at Starbucks once, and I was so shaky that I was like, 'Just don't spill it on him.'" The actress' fond memories of the late comedian, who died in 1997, made her anxious to honor his legacy on SNL.
