The cameo plays off a joke from this year’s Golden Globe Awards. Saturday Night Live fans were stunned to see Adam Sandler make a surprise appearance on Saturday’s episode (25 January), returning to his roots on the show. Sandler, 58, was a cast member on SNL between 1990 and 1995 and has made numerous cameos since then.

His most recent return saw him introduce a musical performance by host Timothée Chalamet, who sang the Bob Dylan songs Outlaw Blues and Three Angels, fresh off his Oscar nomination for the Dylan biopic, A Complete Unknown. Sandler’s brief appearance also played off a gag from this year’s Golden Globes, when host Nikki Glaser asked him to deliver an exaggerated pronunciation of Chalamet.
Repeating the joke on SNL, Sandler bellowed: “Ladies and gentlemen, I love him too, Timothée Chalameeeet!”. Viewers were quick to sing the praises of the cameo, with one writing: “Getting Sandler to announce Timmy so he could say ‘Chalamet’ is genius.”.
“Playing the long game on the Golden Globes joke,” noted a second fan. “I just saw Adam Sandler introducing Timmy on SNL. I thought I was hallucinating. The universe is healing,” added a third. A fourth said: “OH MY WOW! They actually brought Adam Sandler out to give us another! “Ahhhh Timothée Chalamet !”.
