Especially like Liz Warren (Kate McKinnon) and Opera Man. I am almost embarrassed to admit that I found Adam Sandler funny, but I did.

Thanks for posting Rhiannon!

She's long been a favorite of mine but this was also very funny! And I've never been an Adam Sandler fan, either - but he was pretty funny on the show...

I'm not much of a fan of Adam Sandler, but Opera Man was one of his best characters.

Sandler was a Cajun who was a walk-on to the college football team who lead his team to a national championship as quarterback. He lived out in the swamp and was a mama's boy. His mama didn't approve of the wild ways of his girlfriend. Henry Winkler was the football coach.

He and Kevin James pretended to be a gay couple so they could get domestic partner benefits/healthcare for widowed Kevin James' kids. It also starred Dan Aykroyd, Steve Buscemi, Rachel Dratch and Richard Chamberlain - good cast, but a weird premise for a comedy.

And I think this Opera Man sketch was funnier than those from back in the day. Overall, I thought it was a pretty funny show.

Male, female, any age - but I agree that her Elizabeth Warren was priceless!
