On the Happy Sad Confused podcast, Adam said he still finds it difficult to perform the “Chris Farley Song” during his shows on the Adam Sandler Live stand-up comedy tour.

“I’ve sung it maybe a hundred times already, but it rocks me,” he revealed.

“I think it’s because we show video of Chris, and I see his face, and I remember his dad, and I remember I’m friends with his brothers and his mom and everybody, and they still miss him a lot. So, yeah, it gets me,” he continued.

The two were friends and castmates on SNL in the early ’90s. Chris sadly died of a drug overdose in 1997.

He added that Chris always gets the biggest applause of the night during his shows, saying, “every time I mentioned his name…the audience go nuts.”

When David Spade made a special appearance on several shows, he would also get emotional.

“He’s like, ‘Man, I can’t sometimes. I can’t listen. I got to walk away because I get so upset,’ because we loved him, we loved him so much.”
