Weekend Update: Opera Man Returns - SNL

[@shak4632]

Its rare that a staple character gets to have an official final goodbye skit. Even if it took 24 years lol. They did Opera-man justice.

[@sha11235]

If Sandler hosts again, Opera Man will be back.

[@jeromychavez6121]

What makes you think it's the final one?

[@EdsterIII]

SNL could use a good dose of the Sandman.

[@AbbeyRoadkill1]

"Opera Man, bye-bye," is his usual sign off every time he does the Opera Man skit.

[@dankfir]

Pretty sure opera man will be back again… but he can’t do it like he did back then… his faces aren’t as good. Can’t talk too much shit tho.. I don’t have any good characters and that’s just scratching the surface when it comes to Sandler. They just dont take the risks anymore… haven’t watched any snl when it’s broadcasted since the 90s

[@matthewgelfer4955]

This made my heart so happy. I love his expression at the very beginning that pretty much said "I'm a grown-ass man, let's do this shit."

I am not a fan, but he’s funny at times and this time.

You don't... Have you seen his movies these late... 20 years? However, this segment was a definite win for him. Let's hope he keeps this going instead of The Click Trilogy.

Yeah I'm definitely not a fan of most of his movies and I'm not old enough to have seen him on SNL, but this is hilarious.
