Instead of the usual wacky sketch, SNL dimmed the lights so that Sandler could pay musical tribute to his late friend, Chris Farley. Sandler and Farley, who died of a drug overdose in 1997, were on “Saturday Night Live" together in the early 90s. Sandler’s tribute will be familiar to anyone who has seen his Netflix comedy special, “100% Fresh,” which was released in October. Sandler cracks jokes throughout the song, which remembers Farley as a “a one-man party” who “would always deliver” on SNL. “You’re a legend how you wanted, but I still wish you were here with me, and we were getting on a plane to shoot ‘Grown Ups 3,’” Sandler sang.
