Adam Sandler made a surprise appearance on tonight’s episode of Saturday Night Live hosted by his longtime friend and fellow comedian Chris Rock.
In the sketch, Chris Rock plays a surgeon surrounded by medical staff as surgery to remove an appendix is underway. Sarah Sherman plays a nurse named Linzley, whose first mistake was filling out the wrong form, which led to the patient’s gallbladder being removed and one of her AirPods being lost inside the patient. What makes Linzley special, albeit reckless, is that she takes full responsibility for her mistakes.
“Oh my God!” she exclaims, realizing she dropped her AirPod during surgery. “Okay, I’m just gonna own it. It was me.”
Her colleagues are livid but Rock tells them to simmer down because Linzley sounds like a Victorian ghost when she cries.
The patient, who was meant to still be under anesthesia, begins to stir. They remove their blanket and come up for air, revealing Sandler. Doctor Rock is shocked to see the patient awake and talking but Sandler is less so.
“Of course, I’m awake because I wasn’t given enough anesthesia,” Sandler mumbles.
Linzley immediately says this incident was not actually her fault but Sandler isn’t buying what she’s selling.
“We know it was you, Linzley!” he said, as the nervous nurse said she would own that one, too.
Surprisingly, Sandler defends Linzley just seconds before he begins to shoot out blood and getting it all over everyone through a burst artery.
Watch it all play out in the video above.
