Chris Farley as the Bee Girl? 

Chris Farley as the Bee Girl?

Oh yes, it really happened! During an SNL rehearsal in 1994, the legendary Chris Farley showed up dressed as the iconic Bee Girl from Blind Melon’s “No Rain” video. Tutu, wings, the whole adorable ensemble. It was a moment of pure Farley magic — and one for the backstage history books.

Imagine it: the high-energy, larger-than-life presence of Farley, known for his wild antics, merging with the quirky and whimsical symbol of the Bee Girl. What began as a playful parody quickly became an unforgettable backstage legend. Castmates? In tears. Lorne Michaels? Probably wondering if he should write a sketch around it.

Farley didn’t just play the Bee Girl — he became the Bee Girl.  From his unforgettable Chippendales sketch to this unexpected tribute, Farley showed the world that no one ever committed to a bit harder than he did. Whether he was dancing in a tutu or falling off a coffee table, Farley gave it his all, and it’s that kind of dedication that made him a comedy icon.
