“I can’t run a company… I can’t even run my own life!” Adam Sandler in ‘Mr. Deeds” There are so many great and quotable lines from Sandler’s career. The over 30 movies he’s been in or produced just make you smile and laugh. And Sandler gives fans the kind of movies they want to experience with others in a movie theater. And that’s a huge reason behind his recent larger than life award!
Adam Sandler has worked with a consistent group of actors since his departure from Saturday Night Live led to a movie career. Those friends came out to celebrate Sandler as he received the Mark Twain Prize for American Humor at the Kennedy Center.
Dana Carvey, Chris Rock, Steve Buscemi, Conan O’Brien, Drew Barrymore and Jennifer Aniston were among the stars who came out Sunday night in Washington to share memories of working with Sandler over a career spanning three decades and more than 80 TV and film credits.
Sandler is the 24th recipient of the award which honors someone each year who has made a significant mark on comedy. Last year’s recipient was Jon Stewart.
