Every few years or so, Saturday night live undergoes a drastic change when notable cast members leave or are fired from the series. After many longtime cast members departed in 2022 between seasons 47 and 48, it reminded viewers of a similar transition after season 20, when notable stars like Mike Myers, Chris Farley and Adam Sandler left the series. of sketches.

They have appeared in notable skits such as ‘Zagat’s with Hank and Beverly Gelfand’ and ‘Gap Girls at the Foodcourt’. But their popularity couldn’t stop them from getting the hatchet. While Sandler has stated that he and the Black sheep stars have been fired, the comedian told THR how the two stars were victims of a power shift at NBC.

While the sitcom’s two stars weren’t necessarily fired in the traditional sense, Sandler and Farley were essentially kicked out by NBC’s higher-ups. Their departures therefore stemmed more from the new NBC boss’ taste for comedy than from his portrayal on the long-running series. Everyone is entitled to their tastes in comedy, and the new executives weren’t big fans of the duo’s goofy comedy.
