David Spade had great comedies like Black Sheep, Joe Dirt, and Tommy Boy. Chris Rock has had several TV series, a long successful stand up career, even did some decent documentaries, and most of his movies have had little to nothing to do with Sandler until recently. Salma Hayak had a long successful career before Sandler as well and acted in several Mexican movies and shows, then showed up in Dusk to Dawn, Wild Wild West, and Dogma. They all appeared in shit but they all have talent, their biggest problem is that they appear in shit because its financially successful. Some of them like Kevin James and Sandlet himself COULD be award winning actors, they have some dramatic chops, they just rarely put in the effort since it doesnt make them as much money, it's hard, and it's not nearly as fun but I cant really blame them.

I feel like Sandler's impact on this generation is sometimes underrated. He was surely in some bad (understatement) movies, but he was also in a lot of straight CLASSICS, and I don't just mean the Punch-Drunk Love's and Uncut Gems of the world. He's one of the key actors of the past few decades and I like that he's been getting more recognition for this over the past few years.

No one gonna mention Mike Myers?

He hosted SNL semi recently and did a fantastic job. On Howard Stern, Sandler basically said he wasn't rehired, but said he wasn't salty towards SNL at all years later b/c of all SNL did for him. I wouldn't say he was fired, more so he just wasn't rehired for further seasons. At the end of the day, Sandler and SNL clearly still have a great relationship and Sandler has done well. Basically the culture and times changed, and so did the cast. At the end of the day, it was a happy ending for both parties, but I personally don't find SNL that entertaining anymore and Sandler's movies are hit or miss, but he is a super nice guy, that is for sure.

Given the people who became more successful after leaving SNL like Eddie Murphy, Tina Fey, Chris Rock etc I always figured being a cast member was never supposed to be permanent to begin with unless you're Kenan Thompson.

Correction to your assertion about Sandler being second to RDJ in box office earnings. Eddie Murphy’s movies have made over $7 billion, worldwide. Sandler sits at about $5.5 billion.

I know he wasn’t, but I can understand why people think he was; as many times as he’s guested. Plus, iconic sketches, like the wild and crazy guys with him and Dan Aykroyd.

What I got from this vid: Adam went through tough times; however, he never stopped doing what he loved. Says a lot about him

That 95 cast was absolutely insane. Just the ones you showed plus the others like Norm McDonald and Chris Rock is just an insane roster. There was definitely some personal BS going on there.

The only significant birthday twin I have, Adam Sandler was really big in our house. My mother is a huge fan of SNL so I grew up watching reruns of them on VHS tapes and he was always my favorite. I probably shouldn't have been watching all of his movies as a small child, like Little Nicky(which is actually one of my favorites) but I could quote Mr. Deeds, The Waterboy, Billy Madison, etc all day long. He's a comedic legend and a really chill guy.

I was born in 89 so, needless to say, Adam Sandler was a HUGE part of my formative years! The funniest thing I remember is how ALL parents (literally every single one) back then would tell kids my age "Adam Sandler is such an idiot. Stupid humor, and screaming. Nobody will know his name in 5 years." Haha! While I can't HONESTLY stand behind EVERY movie Adam Sandler has his name on in some way, I do stand by A LOT and he completely fooled everyone! From "screaming idiot" to billionaire

This came at the perfect time. I just finished making a video on Adam Sandler and the more I learn about him, the more I realize he’s had such an interesting and unpredictable career

This is actually quite inspiring. This was a blessing in disguise for Sandler.

He did really good in that new movie Hustle. Great film.

Adam Sandler doing ableist screeching. So funny. Great intro. Well done nerdstalgic.

He’s definitely evolved, his old movies are a hit and miss because humor changes with time, but his recent movies have so much depth.

I'll never forget his Halloween costume improv. "Crazy newspaper face". "Gimme some candy! I want some candy! lol

Adam Sandlers comedy is not something I enjoy but I respect him a lot as a person

I wish he did more serious roles. Movies like Punch-Drunk Love & Reign Over Me shows he can be a great actor.

I don't care what people say, Adam Sandler will always be amazing to me

Any industry can 'break the heart' of someone working in it, or aspiring to be in it.

While I still like Happy Gilmore and The Longest Yard, my favourite Adam Sandler roles are the dramatic ones like The Meyerowitz Stories: New and Selected, Uncut Gems, Reign on Me, and Punch Drunk Love.

I love and appreciate Sandler's work and support of his friends! What a mensch!

Great video and research.

I’d push back against the point where you say there wasn’t a bigger turn over in SNL history. I can think of three with bigger turn overs. Between 5-6 (79-80) and 10-11 (85-86), the cast and crews were almost completely replaced as well as well as Jon Lovitz being the only cast member to survive the disastrous season 11.

"The Waterboy" was my favorite Sandler film.

Great video

Best fired from SNL but returned to host opening monologue was by Norm Macdonald. Look it up, it’s awesome!

I remember him on Remote control. I basically grew up watching him, & listening to him.

One of Sandler's first big gigs was on MTV's Remote Control. Can't believe they didn't mention that in this!

I have always loved and admired Adam Sandler, growing up I would watch his movies and now feels super nostalgic to watch the old Sandler hits😆 Also his role on the movie Click made me cry, and that's not easy to do🥺

“Freshe pepper!) 😂😂😂

WOW that was actually informative, not just clickbait.

Just want to say that Steve Martin was never a cast member of SNL. I believe he's hosted it more than anyone else, but that's all he's ever been: a host. He's been a part of some of the most iconic characters and skits in SNL history though. A True comedic genius, and possibly the last true Renaissance man. He owns a Grammy, Emmy, and Oscar. Along with the Mark Twain award for American Comedy. Has been nominated for a Tony twice, and has won numerous awards for different artistic fields, ranging from Comedy, acting, writing, and music.

By the way. Happy Gilmore edges out Billy Madison for my favorite by an eyelash.

You didnt even answer your own question? You just summed up his early career

Is it because Adam “Liiiiked to touch the hiney?”

Snl is like college. Some ppl will never graduate and get a respectful job. Most of the current cast for example

It's strange to think of what might have happened if Sandler hadn't been fired. No Billy Madison, No Happy Gilmore...what a weird world that would be.

Adam Sandler is like the WWE to me .. not my cup of tea at all but I gotta pay respect

It would have been so weird if Farley & Sandler overlapped a season with Will Ferrell

He gives back to his homies 💪🏻he’s a real dude

Been a huge fan of Sandler since his Remote Control days on MTV! I remember seeing Billy Madison in the theatre, and feeling like I was the absolute target market for the film. This movie was quoted (along with Happy Gilmore) throughout my college days.

The 1995 resignations were not unprecedented. The entire original cast , and Lorne Michaels, left after the first five seasons. Thank goodness he came back!

I enjoy alot of his work from the 1990s and 2000s he is iconic

It's important to note the success of his comedy albums and how they kept Adam in the public eye after being fired from SNL.

It’s funny because Sandler, Farley and Norm were the only reasons I watched SNL at the time

Adam Sandler is one of my favourite actors. As a 90's kid, I grew with his films and I watched them all multiple times. Like everyone else, you can say anyline from his films, and people know the reference

We're all laughing our heads off and forgetting about our sore heads... sitting there eating breakfast, hung over with my girlfriends head on my lap, friends all around the room, laughing so hard while we repeat classic lines - "just tap it in... tap tap tap it in" those are the moments you remember forever...

Also anyone who has seen the Sandman's Netflix special, 100% Fresh knows how talented this man is. Really a perfect comedy special start to finish, easily one of my top 5 comedy specials of all time

How did you forget Eddie Murphy when talking about highest grossing SNL actors? His numbers eclipse Sandler’s.

90's Sandler was the best, I loved most of his movies, I loved his work on SNL and it wasn't the same when he left (along with Myers, and Farley - and whoever else). I'd say 90-94 were my favorite SNL years and I'll never forget them. The good ol'days that'll never come back...

Still don't understand why no one mentions reign on me in regards to Sandler. He is amazing in that movie.

Sounds like Dennis Miller didn't want the network to look too closely at the SNL cast, in case they made other choices.

I’m actually surprised that Sandler fail to notice that almost all of his companions were dismissed en mass quite suddenly, and that he didn’t consider that he’d suffer the same fate.

How did you not mention Norm Macdonald getting fired during that era. His firing was the most epic fire of all.

Adam sandler is one of those people everyone likes to hate ...but watches his movies anyways...

Adam Sandler is very popular - no doubt! I never got him, and his work to me seemed at best "almost funny". It's me, because everybody else seems to love Adam's work. Good for Adam Sandler!

When this happened, everyone I knew couldn't understand it at all.

It never clicked with me. Respect the hell out of the dude. But the whimsical tone always killed the vibe for me.

How in the holy hell could the suits for NBC not like the cast that he was a part of?! Besides the original cast when they first started the show, the early to mid 90s with Sandler, chris Farley, mike Myers, Jon luvitz, and norm Mcdonald... just to name da few!!

Adam Sandler once said that his dad wouldn't watch him on TV or go see his movies because he couldn't believe that his son got paid so much money for just acting like an idiot. He wasn't being mean, he just didn't think that it was a real job. I applaud the man for laying on the Jewish guilt trip so thick, that even his world-famous, wealthy comedian/actor child was held to impossibly high standards. I liked him in The Wedding Singer. He really plays some heartwarming roles that have the kind of guileless honesty of children. I think that's one of the things that appeals to so many people about his characters. They aren't mean or cruel or mocking, they are without the duplicity that often comes with adulthood.

Adam Sandler in Reign Over Me. Magnificent!

Imagine having Dana Carvey, Mike Myers, David Spade, Adam Sandler, Chris Farley, Jay Mohr and Tim Meadows among others on your show and thinking it'd be a good idea to change the cast HAHA. I didn't find the last two listed that funny but they always made good supporting characters.

6:04 - “alumnus”. 🙂
