The comedian returned to his roots while hosting the show for the very first time.
By Bethonie Butler Bethonie Butler Reporter covering television and pop culture Email Bio Follow May 5 at 1:50 AM When Adam Sandler was on “Saturday Night Live” in the ’90s, he carved out a niche singing goofball songs about everything from Hannukah to a very special lunch lady. When he returned to host the show for the very first time, he played to his strengths.
“It’s just great to be around their youthful energy," Sandler said. “I was 23 years old when I started here. David Spade and Rob Schneider were 25. Norm MacDonald was maybe 60, I don’t know, I never asked him, I don’t think he knows.” “I always tell them how SNL was the greatest time of my life, and my daughter asked me ‘If it was the greatest time in your life, dad, why did you leave?,“ Sandler said. “Well, honey, there’s a reason.”I was fired, so sad to tell.Sandler, who has said he doesn’t really know why he was fired from the sketch comedy show, continued singing.I tried to call Lorne Michaels, but he never called me back.
Sandler reminded us that he wasn’t the only cast member to get fired amid the show’s low ratings in 1995.and he said “Sandman, they fired my a-- too.”Sandler remembered Farley with an impressive impersonation of the “Tommy Boy“ star, who got a sweet tribute in Sandler’s well-reviewed Netflix special “100% Fresh.” .
