Adam Sandler to Host SNL for First Time

Adam Sandlerย is returning to 30 Rock for his first-ever turn as host ofย Saturday Night Live.

The veteran comedianย was of course a cast member onย SNLย for five seasons between 1990 and 1995, where he portrayed iconic characters like Opera Man and Cajun Man. Heโ€™s made sporadic cameos in the years since, but has long shied away from a chance to host an episode of the late-night institution.

He told formerย SNLย colleague Norm Macdonald in a 2014 interview, โ€œWhy should I? There are guys who love doing it, who are great at doing it. I just donโ€™t know how good Iโ€™d be doing it. I did what I could do on that show.โ€

Now, though, it seems Sandler has had a change of heart, as heโ€™s confirmed to host the May 4th episode ofย SNLย alongside musical guest Shawn Mendes.

Sandlerโ€™sย SNLย appearance comes ahead of hisย โ€œ100% Fresherโ€ standup comedy tourย this summer. You can get ticketsย here.
