"SNL": Adam Sandler returns as Opera Man to take on Trump, Biden

Former "Saturday Night Live" regular Adam Sandler returned to the show Saturday — and he brought his beloved "SNL" character Opera Man with him to roast President Trump and Democratic candidate Joe Biden.


Details: During the "Weekend Update" segment, Sandler sang of the "slim chance-oh" of Democratic presidential hopefuls "Kamala, Gillibrand, Klobuchar, Warren ... they wear no pants oh. Warren Pete and Beto will have to wait-o…here we go again 70-year-old man." He moved on, handkerchief in hand to target Biden with the opening "gropa, gropa, sniffa, sniffa." He closed with the line, "Trumpa, dumpa…They afraid to impeach. I get to make a wall; Putin makes me his beetch."

  • "SNL" opted to open with a "Family Feud" parody, instead of a political one, as the Avengers took on the "Game Of Thrones" cast, before Sandler appeared with a songful dig at the show about firing him — as ex- "SNL" star Chris Rock joined in with Pete Davidson.
  • Viewers were also treated to another Kate McKinnon send-up of Democratic presidential hopeful Elizabeth Warren.
  • Fellow former cast members Jimmy Fallon and Kristen Wiig also returned to the show, which saw Sandler return as the popular "SNL" character "Opera Man."
  • Another highlight was a send-up of a CNN report set in Libya with SnapChat filters, after the reporter accidentally knocks a video filter during an interview with Sandler's "people's militia" lieutenant, who seems to enjoy his new looks.
