Adam Sandler

In the mid-1990s, Adam Sandler was one of the most popular SNL stars. Lorne Michaels, on the other hand, fired him in 1995 despite this. Over the next 25 years, Sandler went on to become one of the most successful and bankable movie stars of all time, but he always seemed to have a grudge against SNL. Sandler returned to hosting in 2019, and his opening monologue summed up his feelings perfectly: “Yeah, 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.”
