The retired Oscar winner set the stage for Sandler’s comedic yet heartfelt song that honored the show's historic half-century on the air.

Adam Sandler’s performance at Sunday night’s “ SNL50: Anniversary Special” was one of the most memorable moments of the night — even before it began. The performance was introduced by Jack Nicholson, who received loud applause inside Studio 8H.

Jack Nicholson introduced Adam Sandler, who sang a new song about "Saturday Night Live," on Sunday's special celebrating the show's 50th anniversary.

The 'Anger Management' actor hasn't been seen much in recent years, but he just stepped out for a rare appearance — and the internet is in a frenzy.

The three-time Oscar winner’s last public outing was in May 2023 when he stepped out for a Los Angeles Lakers game against the Denver Nuggets.

The father-daughter pair — Nicholson shares Lorraine, 34, with ex Rebecca Broussard — sat nearby Will Farrell, Robert De Niro and his partner, Tiffany Chen. Ryan Reynolds, Blake Lively and SNL alum Rachel Dratch completed the back-to-back rows.

While Jack Nicholson, 87, has remained mostly out of the public eye in recent years, the Oscar winner stepped out to attend SNL 50: The Anniversary Special Feb. 16.

Jack Nicholson's last movie was 2010's “How Do You Know,” and he was last seen out at a 2023 Los Angeles Lakers game.
