Adam Sandler closes 'SNL' with a heartbreaking song about late friend Chris Farley
Adam Sandler brought good friend Chris Rock on stage early in his return to"Saturday Night Live," but he made sure the late Chris Farley was there in spirit, too.
The over four-minute song recapped the pair's relationship, Farley's time on"SNL" and even got a dig in about how the heavy-set humor man used to constantly prank David Spade. All the while, clips from the comedic great played on a screen in the background.Sandler told The Daily Beast in 2014 he still doesn't know why he and Farley were fired from the show in 1995. Both were just emerging as huge box office attractions.
Sandler's first big film,"Billy Madison," was released in 2015 and he followed that success with"Happy Gilmore" in 1996. Farley's hit,"Tommy Boy," also premiered in 1995 and"Black Sheep" was released in 1996. Sandler joked about his firing earlier in the night on Saturday when he and Rock sang a duet about getting axed during the monologue. Sandler even mentioned that he tried to phone executive producer Lorne Michaels but he didn't return his call.
