Norm MacDonald Live
0 CommentsSandler makes a promotional appearance on Norm MacDonald Live to promote Blended. While there Sandler was questioned about why he will never host the SNL show.
Why should I. I don’t know how good it would be. I’m slow now. There are guys who love doing it who are great at doing it. I just don’t know how good I’d be doing it. I did what I can do on the show.
Blended

Yeah, that’s right. We loved that lake. Yeah, I could see doing an On Golden Pond kind of movie. That would be great, but maybe with a few more jokes in there. We both have new things going on in our lives since “The Wedding Singer” to “50 First Dates” to now. We both have families, but we’ve always stayed in touch. We’ve always been good friends and we check in on each other as much as possible. No matter what’s going on, I’m always pulling for Drew, and I feel the same about her. Whenever I’m doing something, I know she’s pulling for me. We just have a nice friendship

Adam Sandler interview
Seacrest interviews Sandler during On Air With Ryan Seacrest about his film That’s My Boy.
That’s My Boy,’ that came to our office, just a script that people in my office loved and bought. Andy Samberg called me up and kept telling me: ‘If you do that movie, I’d love to play your son.’ I kept going: ‘What movie is he talking about?’ Then finally, I read it and I loved. It’s a pretty crazy movie and it’s got some funny stuff that is very dirty and filthy, but pretty warm at times. I connected with it, and I was laughing at it, and that’s why I got excited to do it.
That’s My Boy
Sandler stars in That’s My Boy a film about a middle-aged father who is stuck in the 80’s. The film co-stars Andy Samberg.
It was fun to speak the way I speak in my bathroom. I grew up cursing a lot and it felt natural. And then my parents yelled at me and told me to stop and they weren’t enjoying my albums. They weren’t enjoying a lot of things I did with my life. Then my father passed away and he’s not here to yell at me anymore. So my mother I bully her I say, Here comes some more dirtiness. Sit and enjoy it. And that’s what we did.
Adam Sandler interview
Seacrest interviews Sandler during On Air With Ryan Seacrest about dressing up as a woman for his role in the film Jack And Jill.
The bra digging into the back and the eyelashes were the pain in the butt the most. I shaved them up nice and made them pretty for Pacino. He’s a really funny guy and he just is a really cool guy to hang out with. He looked cool, he’s in a leather jacket, he looks like Al Pacino. I walk out dressed as a woman, considering how ugly I looked, it was weird.

Me and Fred Wolf wrote the movie. The whole idea was about putting together old friends that get to hang out for a weekend. These guys are my old friends, so it made total sense. I’m glad they said yes to it

We were getting ready to do the movie right before 9/11, so we knew not to do it then, it would be ridiculous. And as the years went on, we would talk about, “maybe we should do that movie, maybe it’s a good thing to talk about that subject.”

And I just thought he was a great guy.
