We Have to Discuss Adam Sandler's Triumphant Return to SNL
NBC

From movies like "Happy Gilmore", "Just Go With It", and "Grown Ups", to songs such as "The Hanukkah Song" and "Lunch Lady Land", Adam Sandler has always been providing audiences with endless comedic and sensational content that withstands time. His return to "Saturday Night Live" after 24 years was eagerly anticipated by many SNL fans, and boy did he deliver a quality performance!


Adam Sandler's "I Was Fired" Monologue - SNLwww.youtube.com

After the roaring applause subsided, Sandler's opening monologue began with a brief but heartwarming retelling of his appreciation to be back at the NBC Studio. This was followed by a hilarious singing act featuring SNL alum Chris Rock, where both actors poked fun at how they were fired from SNL. Sandler ended the song jocosely singing, "I was fired / I was fired / NBC said that I was done / Then I made over four billion dollars at the box office / So I guess you could say I won."


Weekend Update: Opera Man Returns - SNLwww.youtube.com

Opera Man is one of Adam Sandler's most iconic characters to date, and to have him officially return after24 years was a treat for all SNL lovers and comedy fans. He returned with his usual light-hearted antics, singing about popular social and political news through his comical rhyming and infamous Italian accent.


Chris Farley Song - SNLwww.youtube.com

Feelings of nostalgia only continued when Sandler performed a wildly captivating song in tribute to his late friend (and SNL alum, of course) Chris Farley, who tragically passed in 1997 due to a drug overdose. Sandler made reference to several signature sketches featuring Farley, including "Matt Foley: Van Down By the River", "Chippendales Audition", "Gap Girls", and "Columbian Coffee Crystals", amongst others. Long time fans were reminded of Farley's unique, fearless, and energetic spirit, while new SNL lovers were introduced to the brilliant ways of Farley and the legacy he led.

Overall, Adam Sandler did a masterful job wowing SNL fans with his return. Hopefully he is scheduled to host in the future again, and doesn't remain a stranger to the NBC stage.

Thanks for all the memories and laughs- Sandler and Farley, we love you!

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.
