Tortures Chris Rock in Bloody Sketch
Adam Sandler received thunderous applause from the ‘Saturday Night Live’ audience when he got into a bloody hospital sketch during the December 14 episode.
In the sketch, Emil Wakim, Ego Nwodim, Bowen Yang and host Chris Rock play surgeons who have all been washed and celebrate a successful operation. But a less-than-responsible surgeon, played by Sarah Sherman, admits that she botched her pre-operative paperwork and the patient’s gallbladder was removed instead of his appendix.
While the medical team is shocked, Rock’s surgical leadership asks the team not to be too hard on her, as the previously covered patient sits up on the bed, revealing Sandler. His appearance leads to fake blood flowing throughout the cast, and he pressures Rock to open his mouth to stop it flowing. Rock does so and is drenched in blood everywhere, including his mouth, causing the players and audience to laugh.
At one point, Sandler further breaks the fourth wall with the lead actor Wakim, saying that even though his role in the sketch isn’t that big, his family will be proud that he’s getting a showcase.
Sandler also stuck around during the show’s Goodnights, where he and Rock were free of fake blood in clean clothes.
Sandler and Rock have been working together for a long time. They overlapped during their work on ‘Saturday Night Live’ in the ’90s and went on to star in several films together, including 2005’s ‘The Longest Yard’, 2010’s ‘Grown-Ups’ and 2018’s ‘The Week Of’. ”
Sandler has also collaborated with Sherman, as they both starred in the 2023 film “You Are So Not Invited to My Bat Mitzvah,” as well as her opening for him on tour.
