Adam Sandler returns to 'SNL' after 24 years with Opera Man and ode to Chris Farley
Current cast member Pete Davidson, who's seen more headlines for his love life and mental health than for his performance on the show, tried to join in, but Sandler informed him he has not, in fact, been fired."I don’t know," Sandler said."Be patient, 'cause it’s coming soon.""NBC said that I was done," he sang."Then I made over four billion at the box office, so you could say I won.
"SNL" avoided playing off the headlines for its cold open, but news segment"Weekend Update" offered a comedic summary of political events, including a visit from presidential candidate Sen. Elizabeth Warren, played by Kate McKinnon.She called the Democratic field of candidates a"friggin' clown car" and criticized her colleagues in Congress for so far failing to move forward with impeachment of President Donald Trump.
At the end of the show, Sandler sang an ode to comedian Chris Farley, a fellow"SNL" cast member who died in 1997 of an accidental drug overdose. “On Saturday night my man would always deliver,” Sandler sang, strumming a guitar. “Whether he was the Bumblebee Girl or livin’ in a van down by the river.”
