Like many SNL alums, Fallon was reminiscing about NBC’s popular sketch comedy show this weekend ahead of a three-hour special celebrating its 50th anniversary. The late night host resurfaced a clip from his audition back in July 1998 and posted it on Instagram on Sunday, Feb. 16.
“My SNL audition,” Fallon, 50, wrote to caption the video. “I was so nervous. I want to thank Lorne Michaels for everything. (And @adamsandler.) #SNL50.”

“His Adam Sandler impression got him the gig,” one fan declared as another fan said they “agree 100% !!!”
Fallon recently spoke about his audition while on his late night show, The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, as he recalled that it was the Sandler impression that made SNL creator Lorne Michaels laugh. Michaels’ reaction was a welcome surprise for Fallon, who said he was warned several times before his audition began that the laughter likely wouldn’t come.
Fallon then sent a message of thanks to Sandler and Michaels as he reflected on the career that followed. “So I thank Adam Sandler, and I just want to thank Lorne Michaels, because—gosh. He just changed my life and has just become a mentor to me, a friend. I love him so much.”
