Conan genuinely adores Adam. You can see it in his face.

[LincolnWorld]

I ran into Adam Sandler at a concert in LA ages ago. He was just hanging out in the regular section with the rest of us. I said hi to him and told him I enjoy his work. I figured he'd say thanks and then want me to leave him alone, but he was super friendly and asked me questions about myself when I started to walk away. He seemed like a genuinely nice and humble guy.

[ohh]

Who else smiled immediately when they saw this thumbnail??

[LandoCalani]

That cheeky smile Conan does when he gets insulted always gets me.

[KenRobert]

Adam and Conan are two guys I’ve grown to appreciate even more over time simply based on the stories others tell about them.

[jeremymcinturff]

Man, I could listen to Conan and Adam reminiscence about the SNL days forever.

[HaHaThatIsFunny]

I'm pretty sure that's the quietest I've ever seen Matt and Sonia. Thanks so much for having Adam as a guest.

[frankcross]

Early 90s SNL was the best.
Amazing how they all stayed friends. Spade, sandler, schneider, rock, conan, dana... Farley woulda been right there with em

[CumpasFilms]

adam always does the same thing any time he talks about the salad days. in this case they talk about chris rock not being CHRIS ROCK, and sandler interjects talking about him getting there after snl. even when conan talked about schneider making his way into downey's ofice, sandler hears that it may make schneider sound weasily, so he makes it a point to mention schneider was a hard worker. i've seen him do this in other interviews. its nice.

[GravityJWST]

I'm having a Conan Renaissance now in 2024❤ Jesus Christ i giggle my ass off watching Conan 🎉🎉🎉😅😅😅😅

[bosounagi]

That generation of SNL was the best ever

[Azriel]

Sandler is such a dope dude. Brought all his friends with him, love that.

[leodegas]

I love hearing famous people talk about their beginnings, especially when it's two famous greats.
Awesome interview.

[RCJH]

God i wish Conan still was on the Air. His remotes and chemistry with the people he worked with was 2nd to none.

[PorchGardeningWithPassion]

These are some of the nicest guys in Hollywood. Very cool! 👊🏻🌻👊🏻

[Mats-]

Super fun to get some insight for how writing for SNL was for them.

"I felt like a fighter jet pilot" lmao

[JonnyDIY]

7:22 that Spade impression 🤣 can totally imagine David saying that 😆💕👍

[TyyTheFlyGuy]

Adam, Farley, Schneider, Rock, Spade, etc were the iconic SNL for me. Everyone has their group depending on their age and stuff and I was a bit young so Ferrell's group was more dialed into my age range as an '89 baby but the reruns of Adam's group were always the best.

[jonathansallows]

I never saw the 90s SNL guys as small or meek; they were always legends to me from the very beginning: Chris Farley, Adam Sandler, Rob Schnieder, Chris Rock, Tim Meadows, Kevin Nealon, David Spade, Norm McDonald, the list goes on. I'm so glad Conan keeps bringing them on (for those still alive), so younger generations can understand how epically funny those days on SNL were. And that transition right into Will Ferrel's formative days was perfect for SNL.

[mironricardo]

It never occurred to me that Conan and Adam crossed paths. I don't even know what cast Conan worked with. I love these behind the scenes stories.
