Weekend Update: Opera Man and His Brother - SNL

[@zaxbitterzen2178]

It's such a simple concept, but by god if this isn't one of the best comedy skit character's ever made.

[@anthonythompson12]

Yes Indeed... Its genius....

[@VenerableBede2510]

The 1990’s , I wish you were back

[@sbonamo]

I wouldn't go that far. ;-)

[@CuriousEarthMan]

I once met John Lovitz and told him I thought he had a very noble voice. He really impressed me here! They all did! Pretty amazing display of talent!

[@defaultusername123]

CuriousEarthMan you should see him Alex! He just tinks the ball across the net!

[@kari7403]

How did he respond to your complement/comment? Did he just say thank you? Really cool of you to tell him that when meeting him. I imagine knowing Lovitz it real life wpuld be a blast. I'd invite him to every party!

[@mr.hannes2057]

Kari He'll be saying: "Yeah, Yeah... That's da Ticket!" 😄

[@CuriousEarthMan]

@@kari7403 sorry, I didn't see your comment come in. He looked at me very carefully while I was speaking. He realized what I was saying. He smiled and took it in to his satisfaction, though humbly, and he simply said 'thank you' a couple of times. It was a pleasure to meet him. It was on the set of SNL on a break during rehearsal. I think he did an interview with Kevin Pollack on kevinpollackschatshow.com you might enjoy!

[@alabarjhoni9742]

a noble voice? he is known for his weasly voice. are you sure you're not a pathological liar!?

[@AstridRamdin]

Holy hell, Jon Lovitz can sing!

[@jc.9]

is Alan sanders

[@LLOOYYYDD]

Timothy Liu no dude thats Jon Lovitz

[@CrashPlays88]

Timothy Liu Adam Sandler not Alan Sanders. One of adams Best friends is names Allen covert you must of got confused

[@dzenacs2011]

all of them can

[@Lanearndt]

Holy Hell indeed!! When he elided with Sandler's note in I think the second exchange, my ears jumped for joy!!

[@flopfloppizzpizz9482]

How could things this irrelevant still be funny in 2019?

[@Jonnyc448]

@Bill campbell because modern day SNL is to PC to do something like this

[@MsLogjam]

@@Jonnyc448 Didn't you see Opera Man's recent return? He's hairier and deeper now, of course.

It’s 2020, nov. 16... love opera man always!♥️😘🙋‼️

Its insane how talented these people are. Amazing voices, attractive, funny, charismatic. Just everything going for them.

[@20cleve]

Kevin Nealon humbly waving off the introduction, not wanting to intrude on the family reunion.

[@astrobollo]

For an italian, Opera Man has a lot of spanish in his vocabulary. XD

[@TheMrPeteChannel]

40% of Spainish & Italian is the same.

[@swish007]

italian is basically bouncy spanish

[@williamoreally5113]

It's also hilarious. He's not catholic either. Suck on that schnitzel.

[@Tuc082]

This is supposed to be comedy but the vocal / singing skills are nothing short of amazing

[@Lanearndt]

Was this Sandler's final opera man sketch? There was done serious depth of talent on that stage, Lovitz was like, unreal!!!!

[@KaneRobot]

There's at least one appearance he made with Norm, so this was not the last one.

[@efan2012]

No thankfully. This was halfway through his run with Nealon's update. He did 8 times with him, this was #4. He did it only once with Norm. He also did it as a opening skit once and returned it in 2019 when he hosted. Good # of times he did it :)

[@kingofsucces]

Possibly!

[@Final_Fantasy_7]

Amy Buttafucco....IN JAIL OH..NO BAIL OH lol lol lmao lol...😅 that part is priceless 😂😂😅😂😅

[@edtauch6167]

I remember watching this live when I was in high school with my buddy and he was cracking up. Me from my house of ignorance towards current affairs had no idea who these people were. Watching now, it's hilarious

[@Final_Fantasy_7]

@edtauch6167 yeah this was the height of Adam Sandler's career and many more of the SNL crew like David Spade,Chris Rock,Chris Farley,Kevin Nealon.this was his funniest moments compared to later years and now.Check out La Contore restaurant SNL skit with Adam Sandler its really funny too.but Operah man was an all time classic

[@SkylineTTurbo]

This just proves how good SNL was back then. When they wrote this and thought it out, it probably sounded really stupid, but when it all came together it was absolutely brilliant. I remember when i was in middle school impersonating Operaman for my dad and stepmom at dinner and making up my own little songs on the spot about stuff that I saw in the news or stuff that happened at school.

[@stevenjosephphoto]

This is so good, has aged so well.

[@dais1151]

DAMN ADAMS VOICE IS BEAUT 😂😂

[@yourpersonalsupernova3493]

Nothing dates this any clearer than Amy Fisher. I forgot all about her.

[@JJYoon-wj8yi]

Wow. I didn't know that was Glenn Close because she's normally blonde. Man, she can sing like a professional soprano.

[@nathanforester5993]

Glenn has a singing voice that rivals Sarah Brightman.

[@AX51]

If Ron Jeremy ever could've had a bio movie done at the time...Jon would've been the go-to guy.

Was looking for this, LOL!

[@rizwanramzan5729]

Me too😂😂😂

[@PrinceTrexus]

Wow Jon Lovitz is actually really good at that!

[@lesleyghostdragon3149]

Opera Man, you are magnifico!

He really is.....check out his new special "100% Fresh" on Netflix (clips are on youtube) its is fantastic!!!!

This a a crazy time capsule of how this nation hasn’t changed in twenty years.

Twenty-five. And three tons of Lovitz.

Holy shit his singing-voice is so much better in this old skits.

[@barbara82589]

Had to watch this skit after it was just mentioned by Sandler on David Spade/DanaCarvey’s podcast ‘Fly On The Wall’ so looked it up. Yes amazing voices, would’ve loved another 5 minutes of the 3 of them singing. Operaman news skits written by SNL’s great writers Bonnie & Terry Turner I believe they said

[@KnocksX]

Did they mention whether this was actually Glenn Close singing?

[@heyman5525]

The possibilities are endless for this type of skit.

[@amyrosenold-music-healing-yoga]

First time I've seen opera satirized, and of course it's perfect fodder for satire. Adam Sandler is soooooooo good at this, makes me wonder if Freddie Mercury took some inspiration for his Bohemian Rhapsody from this, although I don't know which came first?

[@hannehanskov7560]

Freddie was dying by the time opera man aired.

[@mintycbo]

Ron Jeremy Biopic, starring John Lovitz.

[@jonmcclure2488]

Yup!

[@traviswittliff6368]

I love how everyone in the audience becomes instantly uncomfortable just by seeing Amy Fisher's picture. That just goes to show how fucked up that girl is, if she scares adults in the audience of a comedy show.
