SNL launchpad

Adam Sandler first burst into the public consciousness in 1990 when he was hired as a writer for Saturday Night Live. It wasn't long before his unique, chaotic energy forced producers to put him in front of the camera. Through unforgettable original characters like the Opera Man and his legendary musical performances - including 'The Thanksgiving Song' and 'The Chanukah Song' - Sandler quickly transformed into a breakout cast member, a household name and a voice for a new generation of comedy fans.
