His film debut came in Going Overboard in 1989.

In 1990, at the recommendation of Dennis Miller, Sandler was hired as a writer for Saturday Night Live, and became a cast member the following year.

It was there that he broke out as a star with songs like 'The Thanksgiving Song', 'The Chanukah Song', and 'Lunch Lady Land'.

He was fired from SNL in 1995.

Sandler formed Happy Madison Productions and over a three-year stretch starred in Billy Madison (1995), Happy Gilmore (1996), The Wedding Singer (1998), and The Waterboy (1998).

Over the years, he has also released five comedy albums.
