The fact that he made sure to ask Mrs. Farley permission first, and she was so excited because she loves when anyone talks about Chris makes it even better. Sandler is the best.

Whatever you think of Sandler as an actor, he got his friend trending 20+ years after his death. Loyalty is not letting the world forget your friends name.

“We said, you better slow down, you’ll end up like Belushi and Candy, he said those guys are my hero’s that’s all fine and dandy”.
Best line of the Tribute ❤️❤️❤️🤘

Now see, this is the Jimmy Fallon we want: genuine.

That tribute was the best tribute to a friendship ive ever seen

[niberius]

“Nothing was harder than saying goodbye, except watching Chris’s father have his turn to cry” 🥺

[kairoberts]

Say what you want about Fallon. But when he does segments like this when he’s just talking and telling stories, he’s absolutely brilliant. I think about his Prince tribute and the day after the SNL 40th anniversary . Brilliant storyteller.

The Chris Farley song took me out. It was perfect.

[Urlocalsaige]

Hearing what went on backstage after the Farley tribute makes me cry. 😭 that’s beautiful. I’m so glad anyone who was there got to experience that, it must have been heart wrenching, funny and lovely all at the same time.

[BlakieTT]

Farley is the greatest. Sandman did him justice. Cried and cried when I saw/heard it just now.

[keithoneil]

You could tell Sandler genuinely loved Farley.

I spent all Sunday watching Farley skits here on YT. So thanks for that prompting, Adam.

5:40 he starts talking about Chris Farley tribute. 😢

[terrinew]

I cried with the tribute to Chris Farley it was touching and funny, the skit with Adam, Kate and Kristen had me laughing so hard I was crying those three nailed it. Thanks Jimmy for that. Been an SNL fan since the very first show yes I was 12 years old and remember it well.

Chris Farley is and always will be my favorite comedian. Every time I watch SNL I can’t help but think of him. Will only be one Chris Farley💯

[questionmark]

The song was super touching. What makes it so great is that it's so relatable. A song about a friend missing one of his best friends and the great times they use to have!

What a great song.

[ScottWaa]

Chris Farley was a phenomenal person. Kudos to Adam for one of the best tributes I've heard. 🙏

[jazyb]

I ABSOLUTELY Love when Jimmy tells stories about his life, past and present, I loved the whole SNL episode on Saturday and of course enjoyed my man’s cameo 🥰🍀

[stephannieuriarte]
