Adam Sandler returns to"Saturday Night Live" for the first time since 1995, when he left the show just as his movie career was taking off. By Bethonie Butler Bethonie Butler Reporter covering television and pop culture Email Bio Follow May 3 at 10:49 AM On Saturday, Adam Sandler will host “Saturday Night Live,” 24 years after leaving the sketch comedy show that made him famous.
It was the weekend before Valentine’s Day, and Baldwin was hosting alongside his then-wife Kim Basinger. The actor appeared as a scoutmaster in a Canteen Boy sketch that put Sandler’s character in a new, but relatively expected setting: a campsite in the woods. Canteen Boy was subject to the usual ridicule — this time, from his fellow Boy Scouts .Baldwin’s scout leader, Mr. Armstrong, dismissed the other scouts, but asked Canteen Boy to stay with him near the campfire.
The sketch, a mainstay on lists chronicling SNL’s most controversial moments, reportedly angered some viewers. Richard Roeper wrote that he had received calls from several readers of his Chicago Sun-Times column who said they had turned the sketch off halfway through. “Now, even though the character of Canteen Boy is a grown man, a perfectly intelligent 27-year-old, not a child, some people got the wrong idea and, frankly, all hell broke loose” Baldwin told viewers. His run-down of the backlash quickly turned to hyperbole.
Sandler left SNL in 1995, just as his movie career was taking off. He has said he was fired under somewhat mysterious circumstances, which might explain why it’s taken him so long to host the show.
awesome!!!
No more Boy Scouts Of America, folks... thanks to some disgruntled feminists who insisted that girls be permitted to join, have succeeded. The new club, 'The Scouts', includes girls, but now boys don't have an exclusive club of their own. Does the 'Girl Scouts' admit boys yet?
You do know it is a COMEDY SHOW, right?!
With no new movie coming out?
No one is asking this come on
Opera man
He is quite simply not funny unless you’re 12 years old.
News.
I'm guessing simple slapstick comedy and some predictable, low bar Trump jibes to pander to the simple slapstick audience for a few holla's of 'hell yeah, you're great Adam' for self esteem boost?
Can't wait to see him again love this guy .
Can’t take his humor! Never liked him!
Bring back Operaman.

The episode with Canteen Boy and Alec Baldwin was hilarious. People would lose their minds if it was done today.
every time I hear about global warming, I think about glaciers, and then I think about the water that AdamSandler gives Vicky and water boy. ....
Puke! 🤮
Not subscribing now or ever to
Opera Man or gtfo

Literally nothing will save SNL from it's idiocy. Deserves to be cancelled at the very least.
