Weekend Update: Adam Sandler on Hanukkah - SNL

After noticing a lack of Hanukkah tunes, Adam Sandler decided to sing a Hanukkah song about all the famous Jewish people you might not know about such as David Lee Roth, Goldie Hawn and The Three Stooges. [Season 20, 1994]

i love how he's trying not to laugh the whole time

“OJ Simpson… Not a Jew”

That part breaks me every time

[lastlife]

I don't know why "Harrison Ford's a quarter Jewish, not too shabby!" destroys me every time but it DOES!

I think Adam Sandler just scored an important entertainment award. He absolutely deserves it.

It’s Hanukkah 2023 and this song still makes me laugh and happy! 😊

The holidays just aren't complete without hearing this song.

I was working with Goldie Hawn on a movie in 1997, and inbetween shots she was talking about her being half Jewish, and I couldnt resist bringing up this song to her. She had never heard it and in fact had no clue who Adam Sandler was at the time, again, this was 1997. So over the weekend I went out and bought a tape with this song, and on monday I played it for about Goldies on film giggles, well, she went fully into that. one of the highlights of my career

This was so epic back in 1994 when we'd sing it non stop as middle school kids... A song for the rest of us...

It's Hanukkah 2022, and this still makes me laugh 😂

I like how he decided to use his The Waterboy voice

[boring_alien]

I'm not even Jewish, but I love this!

[ButOneThingIsNeedful]

I still say this was the all-time best version of the song. You can tell Adam's a bit nervous, but it has the most charm too.

You gotta love the sincere compliment Norm gives Adam when it's over. Sometimes other cast members wouldn't root for each other. Norm was awesome.

[tyesjazz]

He's so relaxed and calm. Nice comedic rhythm. And not too shabby guitar skills.

[dayswithnic]

😂 "put them together, what a fine looking Jew" 😂

[Genkimark]

The Sandler/Spade/Farley/Rock era of SNL was definitely one of the funniest.

[timothylackey]

Adam was a perfect fit for SNL., that sound was the the Best.

[richardburchett]

I used to love it when Adam would come on and do a new song. This one became a classic
