I was under the impression that the character was named for a teacher Farley had in high school, who was also a Catholic priest. Can anyone confirm? 82.109.90.179 00:47, 31 March 2006 (UTC)

The quote is "la-dee-freakin-da" not whoop-dee-freakin-doo" so I went ahead and changed it.

Actually, in the sketch with Sally Field, Matt does say "whoop-dee-frakin-doo," but he is remembered more for saying "la-de-freakin-da."J-Red 23:50, 25 June 2006 (UTC)Outtaherephils

The story that came to me regarding Matt Foley's name was from his days at Second City. A friend of mine and her husband were there with a friend named Matt Foley when Farley came out as the character and asked for a name. My friend's husband called out Matt's name and it was used and subsequently carried over to SNL. Not sure that this could be verified though. Soonercary 07:08, 2 November 2006 (UTC)
