The Oscar-host favorite Conan O'Brien said that 'Saturday Night Live' was an intense experience until Adam Sandler joined the cast.

Reflecting on his time at 'SNL,' the legendary talk show host credited one performer with helping bring 'fun' back to the famed sketch show.

This conversation came up when Conan O’Brien was talking to Andy Samberg about how stressful SNL 50 was and the digital short he made for it about anxiety (which you can stream with a Peacock subscription ). It’s a topic that cast members aren’t afraid to talk about, and many have gotten candid about just how stressful and grueling the gig is.
