In 1995, Adam Sandler, then 28, was fired from NBC's "Saturday Night Live" after five years on the show.
Leaving "put a lump in my throat," Sandler said. "I was probably sad, covering up the sadness up with being mad, saying 'yeah f--- you.' But I remember when I saw Farley, and he said 'Me too, they don't want me either,' we were both like 'f--- this s---.' We got mad together, pretended we weren't sad, pretended this was for the best."
Looking back, says Sandler, "maybe I would've never left because I'm not good at saying goodbye. They had to get rid of me somehow." Sandler then sang a song he called "I Was Fired": "I was fired, I was fired. NBC said that I was done. Then I made over 4 billion dollars at the box office, so I guess you could say I won."
