When Adam Sandler was fired from Saturday Night Live in 1995 he handled it like a gentleman with grace and dignity. He didn’t freak out or get angry, he just went off and moved on to bigger and better things, but still would stop by other NBC shows when asked. Cue Sandler’s explanation of why he continued to appear on Conan’s former show, Late Night, despite having been fired! Although he loved working with the redheaded host, he did admit to being somewhat confused when the network continued to ask him to appear on it for Sweeps Week. Sandler said to his manager way back when,
“I thought they don’t like me. They fired me.”
