A host of big names, including Conan O’Brien Judd Apatow, Chris Rock, Steve Buscemi, Drew Barrymore and Jennifer Aniston, turned out to honor the popular comedian at the Kennedy Center in D.C.
The tenor of the evening felt even less formal than past years’ events and more like a comedy roast, the audience was even given a six-pack and pulled into the back of a van filled with Sandler’s gang on a spontaneous, late-night road trip. Perhaps the event’s producers loosened the reins because this is the first year since its inception in 1998 that PBS opted out of carrying the show — a slight that Idina Menzel poked fun at during her opening homage to Opera Man.
Judd Apatow, Sandler’s former roommate and longtime collaborator , voiced a familiar sentiment, saying that the moment anyone met Adam, they knew he was going to be a big star. After graduating from NYU, Sandler moved to LA and had already begun cultivating a growing coterie of writers, collaborators, and comedians, all of whom would go on to achieve huge success. “Apparently,” said Apatow, “the best job opportunities at NYU were living in the vicinity of Adam Sandler.
Drew Barrymore and Jennifer Aniston—apparently two of the very few ladies cool enough to have broken into the fraternity—shared the stage to playfully one-up each other about the depth of their friendships with Sandler. David Spade offered an oddly short tribute before disappearing from the audience for most of the second half of the show. Pete Davidson—a last-minute addition to the roster—shared that he first crossed paths with Sandler when was just a kid, auditioning for.
Accepting the award, Sandler shuffled onto the stage wearing what looked like a suit someone forced him to wear .
Sandler continued, “And when someone asks me: Those bad reviews you get — how does that make you feel? The reason they don’t hurt me is because [my friends and I are having so much fun making these movies]. Everything we do together makes me feel like the critics don’t know what they’re talking about.”
