This Saturday, Adam Sandler appeared on Saturday Night Live for the first time in something like 24 years. I’m more of a fan of Sandler’s movies (Happy Gilmore in particular) than of his SNL sketches, so I was curious how I’d enjoy him as a host.
Overall, I thought it was a solid episode. There’s one sketch that was by far my favorite, though. It’s “Romano Tours,” featuring Sandler as a tour guide company owner whose promotions are full of important disclaimers:
My second favorite sketch is a song, which is a shocker for me, as I rarely laugh at musical comedy. It’s about Chris Farley, and it’s a mix of funny, sweet, and sad.
Finally, my third favorite sketch didn’t even make it onto live TV. It’s a “Chad” sketch, a character that fits perfectly with Sandler’s droll comedic approach
What did you think of Sandler’s return? Did you have a favorite sketch? Also, if you like sketch comedy, I’d highly recommend the new Netflix show, “I Think You Should Leave.” You’ll know within the first 15 minutes if it’s a show for you.
Sandler remains one of my favorite comedic actors. It’s funny that you mentioned “I think you should leave” as it was recommended by another friend. Some of the sketches were funny, but many of them went on a bit too long…almost uncomfortably so.
