JACKSONVILLE, Fla \u2014 Actor and comedian Rob Schneider will be coming to the Bold City. The former Saturday Night Live alum will be performing at the Florida Theatre on May 28 as part of his \u201cRescue Husband Tour.\u201d I got the chance to chat with the comedian ahead of his upcoming show to talk about his time on the popular sketch show, his thoughts on cancel culture, and the skit or movie he\u2019s most proud of.<\/p>\n
Schneider said it was hard to get sketches on Saturday Night Live with the stacked lineup that included Chris Farley, Adam Sandler, David Spade, Mike Myers, and Chris Rock. \u201cIf Mike Myers had a movie where he\u2019s doing Wayne\u2019s World 1 or 2, you know, they\u2019re going to obviously, rightfully push that. Then you\u2019d had guys who\u2019d never screw up, like Phil Hartman, he\u2019d never make a mistake on air, never flub a word, so you know, you\u2019re going up the greatest. Then, Farley was a tornado, a physical tornado. He was a huge man, but graceful at the same time. He was an athlete, a sloppy athlete. And then you know, Adam Sandler, obviously, became this superstar talent, and David Spade, the funniest guy you\u2019ll ever hang with.[…] And then Dana Carvey was still there, Dennis Miller was there when I was there, and Norm MacDonald came on. It was really a murderers\u2019 row; it was really like the Yankees in 1927. It was incredible.\u201d<\/p>\n
