LOL: Adam Sandler’s Updated ‘Chanukah Song’ Includes Scarlett Johansson And More
There wasn’t a new episode ofSaturday Night Livethis past weekend, but Ryan Gosling is the first host of three new shows for three weeks in a row starting December 5th, with Chris Hemsworth hosting the following week and Tina Fey and Amy Poehlerteaming up to host the last episode of the yearon December 19th. However, we’ve got a fun treat to pass the time on the last day of this weekend from anSNLveteran who doesn’t usually give us anything to be excited about anymore.
Adam Sandlerdid a show recently in San Diego along with his friends David Spade, Nick Swardson and Rob Schneider, and there he debuted a new version of his famousChanukah Song, just before the Festival of Lights begins on December 7th. New additions includeScarlett Johansson,Joseph Gordon-Levittand more.
Here’s Adam Sandler’s newChanukah Songfrom theHappy Madison YouTube page:
Adam Sandler hasn’t been delivering good comedies on the big screen for a long time now (in my opinion), but during his days onSaturday Night Live, he became one of the most popular cast members of the time. His time duringSNLis one of those eras that people always use as an example of when the late night sketch show used to be good. But that’s something that happens with every decade as generations grow older and continue to dislike change.
Sandler used his profile atSNLto launch what was a decent comedy movie career for awhile, teaming up with some of his fellow cast members for movies all the time. But that’s spiraled downward into some lazy comedy writing where Sandler just keeps his less talented friends employed and brings random celebrities in for no good reason.
But theChankuah Songis something that will endure for years to come, always played on the radio when Christmas music takes over the airwaves right after Thanksgiving (sometimes even sooner). No matter how disappointed I am in Adam Sandler, it’s always nice to see him returning to his roots by updating this song, and it’s infinitely better than watchingEight Crazy Nights. If you need a refresher on the original from the December 3rd, 1994 episode, here you go:
