Randi Mahomes in New York: With Adam Sandler at ‘SNL’ and ‘so many Chiefs fans’ in NYC

Randi Mahomes can scratch “visit Saturday Night Live” from her bucket list.

The mother of Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes visited the show over the weekend during a trip to New York with her son, Jackson Mahomes.

The two posed for a photo on the Christmasy ‘SNL’ set with cast member Heidi Gardner, a Kansas City native and loyal Chiefs fan.

And Randi met with none other than Adam Sandler, who surprised the audience when he popped up in a skit drenched in fake blood with host Chris Rock.

She also snagged a photo with the night’s musical guest, Gracie Abrams, who just performed in a sold-out show in Kansas City in September and also opened for Taylor Swift at GEHA Field at Arrowhead Stadium last summer.

At this point in time, is there anyone or any place that doesn’t have a connection to Kansas City, or more specifically the Chiefs?

Sandler, for instance, has tapped Chiefs tight end (and Swift’s boyfriend) Travis Kelce to make an appearance in his upcoming “Happy Gilmore” sequel.

Randi overheard someone awing over the influence of Chiefs Kingdom at the airport in New York, of all places.

Delayed at airport in NYC and i overhear someone ask their friend “Why are there so many Chiefs fans here??” Lol, just had to smile a little!!!” she tweeted on X.
