#Quote
1When asked at an Saturday Night Live (1975) pitch meeting if he had any ideas for host Jude Law: "A scene where we play half-brothers, because, let's face it, that's all anybody would believe."
2When asked what project didn't live up to what he envisioned: "SNL, but only in the respect that I didn't envision getting fired."
3What he learned from doing impressions on Saturday Night Live (1975): "The main thing is to be funny, whether people know (the impersonation) or not. You have to let go of the fact no one knows this person and just try to be funny, ultimately." On watching Saturday Night Live (1975): "When I was very little ... we'd go up to my grandmother's in Milan, Tennessee, and because we were there, we didn't go to church the next day. So me and my dad would stay up late and catch Saturday Night Live (1975) on her small black-and-white set."
4On staying in character: "Sometimes it's very hard, but hopefully you are in the moment as an actor and you are just trying to react as the character in the scene would."
#Fact
1Chris Parnell is back on SNL [2001]
2Was roommates with actress Nadia Dajani during his early years on Saturday Night Live.
3The character of Brick Tamland, the mentally retarded weather man, in 'Anchorman: The Legend of Ron Burgundy' (2004) was written by Will Ferrell and Adam McKay with Parnell in mind. Steve Carell ultimately took the role, so they gave Parnell the part of the overly-sensitive stage producer Garth Holliday instead.
4He, along with fellow Saturday Night Live (1975) cast member Andy Samberg, put the show back on the map with their Lazy Sunday Chronicles of Narnia rap.
5Good friends with Ron Livingston and Lauren Graham.
6His dad, Jack Parnell, has been in the voice-over industry for 40+ years, and has worked as the "image voice" for local Memphis businesses (Kroger, Federal Express) and a local TV station, but has voiced countless TV/radio commercials and instructional video presentations throughout the US and internationally.
7Decided to pursue a career in comedy after performing in the play "Greater Tuna" while in high school. He and his friend Dan McLeary each played ten different comedic characters.
8While in high school, he played one of the brothers in a production of "Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat." He also announced football games and provided on-air reports.
9Frequently wears plaid.
10Is such a dedicated alumnus of Germantown High School that he recently chaperoned a theater trip to London.
11Enjoys shopping at The Gap.
12His dream acting role is to play Edmund in a production of "King Lear."
13His favorite film is Chariots of Fire (1981) favorite television show Twin Peaks (1990) and favorite book "The Selected Poetry of Rainer Maria Rilke.".
14His first solo recurring character on Saturday Night Live (1975) was Merv the Perv, who debuted in 2002. However, it took over a year for Merv the Perv to make a return appearance.
15An expert at stage-fighting, so he has frequently beaten up and killed in Saturday Night Live (1975) sketches. He has been beaten up by Dwayne Johnson, Paul Levesque, Mick Foley, Mick Foley, and Jackie Chan. He has been killed by Christopher Walken, Robert De Niro, and Will Ferrell, among others.
16Contrary to popular belief, he did not swallow the food Will Ferrell "fed" him during the infamous Saturday Night Live (1975) sketch "The Regurgitating Family" (with host Julianna Margulies). The camera would quickly cut to someone else after the food entered his mouth and he spit it out into a towel on his lap.
17His firing/rehiring has been a frequent running gag on Saturday Night Live (1975). In one sketch, it was said that "Will Ferrell had him fired so he could get his brother Patty Ferrell (Patrick Farrell) on the show!" In a song that Chris himself sang, he said, "Lorne liked me so much that he hired me twice!".
18Auditioned with Saturday Night Live (1975) co-star Ana Gasteyer as a duo for the Weekend Update chair in 2000 when Colin Quinn left the show. They lost out to Jimmy Fallon and Tina Fey.
19Will Ferrell and Chris Kattan tried to get him his job back shortly after he had been fired, but to no avail. It would later take Ferrell being off filming Old School (2003) and Darrell Hammond in rehab to get Lorne Michaels to change his mind.
20Has performed hardcore raps about Saturday Night Live (1975) hosts Britney Spears, Kirsten Dunst, Jennifer Garner and Demi Moore/Ashton Kutcher. He writes them with the assistance of various Saturday Night Live (1975) writers and musical composers.
21Has impersonated Saturday Night Live (1975) announcer Don Pardo on at least one occasion when Pardo was too ill to announce the opening credits.
22He winded up returning to Saturday Night Live (1975) with no fanfare, as a mention of his return was cut from Saturday Night Live (1975) after dress rehearsal.
23Frequently played Will Ferrell's brother in various Saturday Night Live (1975) sketches due to their facial resemblance.
24Auditioned for the lead role for the NBC sitcom Working (1997) but lost out to Fred Savage. However, the casting director remembered him and cast him a few years later in an online comedic short-film called Farm Sluts (2003).
25On some occasions, he will wind up doing more voice-overs for an Saturday Night Live (1975) episode than actual on-camera appearances.
26Played Senator Joe Lieberman during the infamous hot tub scene with Al Gore during Gore's Saturday Night Live (1975) hosting gig.
27The first Saturday Night Live (1975) sketch that he wrote that made it on the air was a commercial parody of the musical "Cats.".
28Has gone on record that Julianna Margulies and Gwyneth Paltrow are two of his favorite hosts to work with on Saturday Night Live (1975). Ironically enough, he missed working with Paltrow for a second time since she returned to host the show during the twelve episode period when he was fired.
