Idina Menzel's hilarious turn as "Opera Man" for Adam Sandler | 2023 Mark Twain Prize

[@YodaMasterOfTheUniverse]

The tribute to Adam Sandler's 'Opera Man' is just bonkers... OMG IDINA killed this, and props to the writer, this was absolute comedic genius.

[@SuperJNG18]

Robert Smigel himself probably wrote it, or at least it wouldn’t surprise me much if he did. I’m pretty sure he came back to write it when Adam hosted SNL.

chatGPT was probably leveraged to write this :)

One of the best tributes and riffs ever done for a comedian.

i agree this was very entraining and you can tell everyone has genuine love for the guy

[@eanderson1974]

Idina's performance is absolutely hilarious. Love the pianist and the backup singers too.

What is that last song called?

[@bradyguy7701]

@@jenniferjones5193 That was Funiculi Funicula'...a 19th-century ditty written to celebrate the first funicular (cable railway) on Mount Vesuvius. True story!!

[@jenniferjones5193]

@@bradyguy7701 thank you so much! I had figured it out but I do appreciate the answer!!

[@petikan]

I have to say this beats all the other Mark Twain Prize shows in the past. The guys that paid tributes to Adam what they all said truly come from their hearts. What more can someone ask for? True friends and a wonderful career.

[@doctorsuave]

The only thing missing was Norm Macdonald's speech, but for some reason it's very hard to book him.

[@mrj8214]

And Chris Farley.😢

[@Sluggergirl]

The writing for this song is awesome, and Idina with her voice and timing was incredible!

This needs more views. The pianist. Epic. All of it.

[@Debthouse]

Thank you to the casting directors of _Uncut Gems_ without whose casting of Idina in that movie would not have culminated in this masterpiece. Grazie, grazie!

[@Hehe-qq5sg]

Don't know why but when she says "the Spade, the Schneider, and the Buscemi" with the shot of those three legends, it sounds and looks epic

[@jopalm3649]

Two legends and Rob Schneider.

haha, Idina was fantastic! She needs to do more comedy. Gorgeous and hilarious, in addition to a powerful singer. She's actually kinda better doing rock & operatic-type stuff than the belting people expect from her.
