In honor of Fleet Week and just days before Memorial Day, Adam Sandler joined Jimmy Fallon for a twang-infused performance of “Friends on All Bases,” a patriotic parody of “Friends in Low Places,” to an audience full of servicemen and -women.
Donning cowboy hats as a banner of the American flag waved on a screen behind them, the two did justice to the Garth Brooks country classic. The cheering audience most certainly approved.
Rock out to the song below:
Why I became the Forward’s editor-in-chief
You are surely a friend of the Forward if you’re reading this. And so it’s with excitement and awe — of all that the Forward is, was, and will be — that I introduce myself to you as the Forward’s newest editor-in-chief.
And what a time to step into the leadership of this storied Jewish institution! For 129 years, the Forward has shaped and told the American Jewish story. I’m stepping in at an intense time for Jews the world over. We urgently need the Forward’s courageous, unflinching journalism — not only as a source of reliable information, but to provide inspiration, healing and hope.
— Alyssa Katz, editor-in-chief
Support our mission to tell the Jewish story fully and fairly.
