“Then I made over 4 billion dollars at the box office” was the best polite middle finger one could ever hope to give

[@hectorarredondo6929]

TBushart love or hate his movies he still makes money it’s like Michael Bay and his transformers

[@williamgullett5911]

Yeah....but Sandler had to make 4 million movies to get that 4 billion

[@williamgullett5911]

@Jan Michael Vincent Sandler is probably laughing at people who mock him.

[@alnobleman2884]

People keep shitting on his movies but I think he's been on a good roll for a while. Starting with the Mankowitz Stories (I think that's what it's called, with Dustin Hoffman and Ben Stiller) which was fantastic, and Uncut Gems of course

[@AbteilungsleiterinBeiAntifaEV]

I don't know, it's pretty shallow, if u ask me.

[@blazeboy06]

Lmao I can imagine Farley on the phone screaming: Sandman they fired my ass too.

[@morenag.7769]

Mr. R Tramble ugh! Lol right in the heart!!! Right!!!? I can hear him as well.🙌🏽😂😂😂🙌🏽

[@zombiebbq14]

LMAO i read that in his voice

Yup NBC fired Adam Sandler, Chris Rock, and Chris Farley but later made Jimmy Fallon the host of The Tonight Show. Clearly not comedy experts, regardless of TV power.

[@viviannichols3582]

I’m glad Sandler opened the door for Farley’s spirit to participate in this show. I wish he could be here in the flesh.

[@Packer1290]

True. That's the most believable part of the whole story.

[@andrewbohannon4539]

Sandler is just the coolest. Met him once outside Yankee stadium. He was clearly in a rush, so I didn't want to bother him. My friends still asked for pics and whatnot, and he obliged. He didn't care he was in a rush, and told us his fans are what matters to him. Always had my respect after that.

[@lcb3129]

That’s so awesome to know!!! Thanks for telling us that, man . Because we shouldn’t care that much about celebrities but it is what it is! I wouldn’t extremely bummed if you said he had acted like an a$$hole but still respectful that he is a person too and probably had somewhere way more important to be than any of us would! Glad to know he was really cool !

[@fmminformation]

I met him too at Whole Foods in Brentwood. He actually came up to me & said something. Made a joke. I looked up & couldn’t believe it was Adam Sandler. But, super cool 💯

[@jaxonya]

@@lcb3129 hes a cool dude.. I should know from experience. He and I GOT IT ON!!! WOOOOWEE!

[@willydeezle]

I met him also was an extra on the movie pixels and he was in Toronto. Such a nice guy they told us not to talk to him but some of us did anyways.

[@divenb1629]

i met him at a waffle house in NYC and he is so humble and down to earth i was just a 12 yr old boy at the time and he sat down and talked to me for 20 minutes about what i wanna be when I grow up and told me to always work hard and stay motivated and to never let myself fall short of the crowd but to fall behind and buy a lambo and drive through the crowd and to this day ill never forget those words 11 years later I'm now 22 and now I'm an underwater welder for ocean corp making 7 figures a year driving ofc a yellow lambo thank you adam for changing a little boys life that day ill forever be in your dept

[@georgetiller2565]

One thing I love about Sandler. He was loyal and never forgot his friends. Most all of his movies he would get his friends roles in them and spread the wealth and make sure they were getting paid. Good man.

[@julianhurt3532]

I’ve said that a thousand times 100% agree

[@skipads5141]

Even old Norm could squeeze out a cameo playing basically himself.

[@scottf5791]

Yep using the Hollywood system to bring in his buddies and share the wealth. His movies maybe shite most of the time but at least his integrity is still intact as a decent human being. One of my all time favorites

[@RoyalMasterpiece]

He reminds me of the late Garry Marshall. They both were loyal and kind to people. Had a lot of the same people in their movies. That says a lot about them.

[@PaulRodriguez9]

The thing was he even came back to host because you know it wasnt Lornes fault. It was the bigger heads in the company who decided to fire Sandler. At the time, SNL wasnt getting great views. Now looking back, the 90s cast was the best to ever do it

[@celieboo]

Sandler should have been banned from Comedy after being fired. He is NOT funny!

We could’ve had Will Ferrell and Adam Sandler interact with each other. Damn you, NBC!

[@InfraBren]

F. N. Lorter still waiting for the day that happens!!! Great show nonetheless

[@efan2012]

Agreed. One of my favorite all time What If scenarios is "What if Sandler stayed for the 1995 season?" I don't think it woulda been as bad as a lot of people think it could have been. In reality while NBC hated him and wanted him gone they didn't really fire him per se, he decided to go to make sure everyone kept their jobs. They were gonna either cancel the show if Farley, Sandler, and a majority of the cast didn't leave or replace everyone including Lorne. Adam told him instead he's go as he had 2 movies coming up that next year. Adam mentioned that in one of the SNL books. He loved the show and didn't wanna go in 95, Farley did but not Sandler he finally got to do what he wanted to do and loved doing it. He helped carry the 1994/95 season. A 1995 with Sandler season woulda been miles different for sure. One of 1994's biggest issues was there quite simply too many people. You had Kevin Nealon who had been there for close to 10 years and was burned out, you had Jeannine Garaffalo who started drama all during her run and made it all toxic, and you had people like Jay Mohr who didn't do anything. A good majority of them would be gone: only see Sandler, Meadows, McDonald, McKinney, and Molly Shannon staying. I think Ferrell still woulda made it but there wouldn't have been Jim Brewer more than likely, and possibly not Chris Kattan which is a +. I think 1995 woulda went well regardless. Sandler woulda been his 90's self still but he woulda had better actors and writers to work with. ? is how long would he have stayed? I say at least 1 or 2 more seasons. It woulda been amazing for sure; completely different show but way more fun.

[@officialmetalwill]

Will Ferrell sucks more than Adam Sandler. Fuck off.

[@RollingOrmond]

@@efan2012 The writing had gone to shit in '95. Even Farley and Spade couldn't save it. The end.

[@efan2012]

Ehh I agree on the writing, it was rough that year but Farley and Spade were too worried about Hollywood to make an effort. Both of them going wasn't a major loss they checked out way earlier than everyone else. I've seen the whole season a few times; Sandler did WAY more on most shows than Farley did especially the first 4 or 5. Sandler, Chris Elliott, McKean, Shannon near the end, and Norm were about the only things they could rely on that year. Even Mike Myers was annoying at point; no big loss when he left either. I enjoy that year in terms of being awful it's a guilty pleasure and I'd rather watch them over Ferrell's run any day they are just more fun. but I spend most of it wishing they coulda pulled it together they all deserved a better last run. Sandler especially as he put a lot of effort in that year.

[@buster326]

1990-1995 SNL was the best. Adam Sandler, Chris Rock, Chris Farley, David Spade, Dana Carvey, Mike Myers, Norm Macdonald, Phil Hartman, Kevin Nealon, Tim Meadows.

I hate celebrities, but Adam seems like a really stand up guy. He puts his fans first and doesn't play the asshole celebrity card like so many others do. I wish there were more like him, he's a gem! His movies defined my childhood and still make me laugh to this day!

[@richardson.1424]

I love how he acknowledged the band when coming out. I never see anyone doing that.

[@AndrewMusic30]

You know you've made it in life when you can get fired from one of the biggest shows in TV, have a successful career (whether you think his movies are good is a separate debate), come back to the show that made you famous, and throw SO MUCH SHADE!!!! Props Adam Sandler (also Chris Rock and Pete Davidson were hilarious in this).

Check out "The Meyerowitz Stories" on Netflix. It's proof that Adam Sandler can actually act and isn't just a one-dimensional slapstick comedian.

@@SoaringTrumpet It might take another 20 years for him to come back. I go back to the 80s with SNL. I was in 8H talking to Chris Rock in his first show. I wonder what the story was for him to host? Certainly wasn't the money. Maybe nostalgia?
