Comic Chris Farley joined the cast of "Saturday Night Live" in 1990 after signing this NBA contract dated September 6, 1990, to be a "featured" performer that season at $4,500 per episode, and for 5 succeeding years as a "regular performer" at increasing salaries up to $15,000 per episode and $2,000 per rerun the final year. Tragically, a year after the contract expired in 1997, Farley died of a drug overdose at age 33, following his idol John Belushi. The eight-page contract is signed by Farley in blue pen, with the signature rating a 9.
