In a clip from his interview on The Howard Stern Show, published Wednesday, Arnold recalled becoming a sober sponsor for Farley as the comedian battled addiction. Farley died of a drug overdose at age 33 on Dec. 18, 1997, after a lifetime of substance abuse.
According to Arnold, SNL executive producer Lorne Michaels introduced the two after Farley played Arnold in a sketch. Lorne Michaels called me and he said, You have a lot in common with Chris Farley. Would you please spend time with him? Arnold told host Stern. He wanted to be sober, and I think Lorne really worried about that, and so I was his sponsor for a few years.
