After the roaring applause subsided, Sandler's opening monologue began with a brief but heartwarming retelling of his appreciation to be back at the NBC Studio. This was followed by a hilarious singing act featuring SNL alum Chris Rock, where both actors poked fun at how they were fired from SNL. Sandler ended the song jocosely singing, "I was fired / I was fired / NBC said that I was done / Then I made over four billion dollars at the box office / So I guess you could say I won."

Feelings of nostalgia only continued when Sandler performed a wildly captivating song in tribute to his late friend (and SNL alum, of course) Chris Farley, who tragically passed in 1997 due to a drug overdose.

Long time fans were reminded of Farley's unique, fearless, and energetic spirit, while new SNL lovers were introduced to the brilliant ways of Farley and the legacy he led.
