Adam Sandler Joins SNL50 to Make Everyone Cry

After a couple decades specializing in making giant, broad comedy movies, over the last few years, Adam Sandler has developed a new speciality: bittersweet songs about how comedians are a force for good in the world. There is his song about Chris Farley he played when hosted SNL in 2019. And there’s “Here Comes the Comedy,” the song that closed his most recent special about how, in the face of death and endless misery, at least we can laugh at comedy. So, of course, he had a song for SNL50. It’s a tribute to how bad it is working at SNL and yet how lucky people are to work there. The song ends with Sandler just listing cast members and how long they were on the show for and, damn, the Sandman knows how to get comedy nerds’ waterworks going.
