Adam Sandler to Receive AARP Career Achievement Award

On November 15, 2025, the latest episode of Saturday Night Live, hosted by Glen Powell, was widely acclaimed as the best of the current season. Powell, known for his roles in films like The Running Man, fully embraced the absurdity of SNL, committing wholeheartedly to his sketch roles and the outrageous wigs he wore. His million-dollar smile and moments of barely contained laughter left no doubt that he was having a ball on stage.

The writers seemed to have loved working with Powell, as he appeared in every sketch except the cold open and Weekend Update. A significant portion of the episode focused on the Epstein files, with references in Weekend Update and five sketches, three of which were the popular MacGruber vignettes featuring former SNL cast member Will Forte.

While the ensemble work was strong throughout the episode, with all cast members appearing in at least two skits, Marcello Hernandez managed to steal the show from Powell. In the upcoming weeks, SNL will take a break for the Thanksgiving holiday, returning on December 6 with Melissa McCarthy as the host and Dijon as the musical guest.

In a separate development, it was announced that acclaimed actor Adam Sandler will receive the AARP Career Achievement Award, recognizing his significant contributions to the entertainment industry over the years.
