Some friendships in comedy last a long time. Others last an entire career.
For Tim Meadows and Adam Sandler, it has been both.
The two comedians first met during their time working together on Saturday Night Live in the 1990s, a period that helped launch some of the most recognizable names in modern comedy. While many of those cast relationships eventually faded, Meadows says his connection with Sandler only grew stronger over the years.
In a recent interview, Meadows spoke openly about the friendship and explained why Sandler still stands out to him after all this time.
According to Meadows, Sandler is not just one of the most successful comedians he has worked with. He is also one of the funniest people he knows personally.
Meadows described Sandler as someone who can make people laugh constantly, even when he is not performing or trying to be the center of attention. That natural sense of humor, Meadows suggested, is part of what has made Sandler such a beloved figure both on and off screen.
Their friendship goes back decades, starting during their early days at Saturday Night Live, where the two were part of a cast that would later shape a huge era of comedy films.
Since then, they have continued to support each other’s work, occasionally appearing in projects together and staying close long after their time on the show ended.
For fans who grew up watching Sandler’s movies or Meadows’ iconic SNL sketches, the story offers a reminder that many of those relationships were not just professional.
They were real friendships that lasted.
And for Meadows, Sandler remains someone he can always count on to make him laugh.
According to People, Meadows shared the story while reflecting on their long running friendship that began during their years on Saturday Night Live.
