Adam Sandler sent fans wild as he made a surprise cameo during the latest episode of Saturday Night Live alongside host Chris Rock.
The pair notably starred together on the sketch comedy series in the 90s, with the Happy Gilmore actor, 58, appearing on the show from 1990 through 1995, and Rock, 59, joining the cast from 1990 through 1993.
Sandler - who is working on Happy Gilmore 2 - had the chance to show off his comedy skills as he appeared in a humorous sketch, prompting the live audience to erupt into cheers and applause upon seeing the star.
The skit took place at a hospital as doctors finished up a surgery - played by Chris, Bowen Yang, Ego Nwodim and Emil Wakim.
Sarah Sherman played the role of a nurse named Leslie that made a multitude of mistakes.
The doctors soon discovered that they had removed the wrong organ from the patient who was covered in a sheet on an operating table.

'Oh my God. I'm so embarrassed. Okay, I'm just going to own it, that was me,' Leslie admitted while standing near the corner of the room.
The lead doctor - played by Rock - then took a closer look at the medical chart and said, 'Yeah, Leslie marked the wrong organ for removal.'
She then questioned if they were mad at her and Chris urgently replied, 'No time for that. We need to remove the inflamed appendix right now before it bursts.'
As the doctors began to quickly operate, Leslie asked Bowen for a hug and he angrily pushed her away.
Rock then said, 'Stop picking on Leslie, you guys are being rude as hell. You're just jealous because Leslie is the hottest girl in North America.'
Another doctor then pointed out that in the X-Ray, an AirPod was lodged in the patient's chest. Leslie than decided to own up to that as well and Bowen yelled, 'Get out of here!'
Chris interrupted with, 'Don't make Leslie cry! When she cries, she sounds like a Victorian ghost.'
Suddenly, the patient began to stir underneath the sheet on the table and Sandler was then unveiled, causing the crowd to let out excited cheers.

Leslie at first said it was not her fault, but then quickly admitted to the mistake when Sandler stated, 'We all know it was you, Leslie'
Chris exclaimed, 'He's awake!' and Adam explained that he was not given enough anesthesia.
Leslie at first said it was not her fault, but then quickly admitted to the mistake when Sandler stated, 'We all know it was you, Leslie.'
He continued, 'I heard the way you guys were talking to her, and it's not okay. All right?' Suddenly, blood gushed out of his side and sprayed across the room.
However, Sandler continued, 'If Leslie was a guy, would I punch her in the face? Yes. If I were a woman, would I punch her in the face? Without a doubt.'
'But every workplace needs a Leslie. Yeah. Everyone needs - everyone needs a Leslie,' the actor said while letting out a small laugh.
As he bent over to try to get the fake blood to spray out again, he added, 'Every workplace needs a Leslie. One annoying co-worker to rag on.'
He paused again to let out a small laugh as Sherman sprayed herself with the fake blood, causing Chris to also briefly break character.
Sandler then started to spray both Ego Nwodim and Bowen Yang. And as he sprayed Emil Wakim, he added, 'And you, not sure what your role in this skit is.'
'But so happy you're getting air time, good luck. Hope your parents are proud of you,' the star further joked.

Adam then faced Rock and began spraying a lot of the fake blood, causing Chris to hold out his arms
As he kept causing the fake blood to hit the cast, Sandler began to tell them that he has money to give to them and before saying the address, he burst out laughing once again
But before he could finish saying the address, his heart stopped beating due to Leslie unplugging the monitor. She explained that she needed to charge her AirPod - which ended the sketch

Both stars are no stranger to working together - especially in the comedy genre. Back in the 90s, they both were cast members on Saturday Night Live.
Adam and Chris, as well as Chris Farley, Rob Schneider and David Spade were known as the Bad Boys of SNL.
The pair also co-starred in films such as Grown Ups as well as the sequel, Grown Ups 2, and The Longest Yard (2005).
Sandler and Rock are also supportive of each other amid their decades-long friendship.
Last year, following Chris's live Netflix comedy special, Adam told People, 'I thought he was unbelievably relaxed, funny, thoughtful. Crushed it and was real to himself.'
The Wedding Singer actor added, 'And it was as exciting to watch as when the Super Bowl is on. I thought about it all weekend. "All right, Rock is doing his thing tonight!"'
'Saturday, watched it in my kitchen, laughed my a** off, immediately watched it right after. It was one of the best experiences. I thought it was amazing.'

And during an interview with Esquire in 2021, Rock revealed that the pair had known each other even before they starred on SNL.
The comedian recalled trying to get a weekend spot at the Comic Strip Live in NYC, and after a trip to Los Angeles, went back to the venue - only to see Sandler on stage for the first time.
'So I'm supposed to hate him,' Chris said. 'I watch his act and he's funny. He's so funny.'
'I just fell in love with him. Then he got off stage and we talked and we hung out. He was going to NYU and I hung out at his dorm. I just love the guy.'
