AOL Chat Live with Adam Sandler on 9/23/99

Adam Sandler: Shooting "Little Nicky" in a month. We'll shoot half of it in New York, the other half in Hell.

AOLJesse: Adam, you have a new CD, and you've just been selected by people for the worst dressed list. Which is the bigger thrill?

Adam Sandler: Both angered my mother.

AOLJesse: I'm curious about your parents. You named the CD for them. Will they have listening parties for their friends?

Adam Sandler: My father will enjoy it with his golf buddies. My mother will pretend it never happened.

AOLJesse: We just had Yom Kippur. What did you atone for?

Adam Sandler: Many things. Mostly involving food.

AOLJesse: Are you going to be a better person, a serious adult, or are you going to be "this way" until you're old and gray?

Adam Sandler: Hopefully I will not make it until I am old and gray. I will be the kind of grandpa that enjoys baseball, ice cream and cursing with my grandson.

AOLJesse: Are you likely to, uh, start a family soon?

Adam Sandler: That's up to 3 things, my girlfriend, God, and my genitalia.

AOLJesse: "Saturday Night Live" celebrates 25 years this year. Nostalgic? Will you party with the kids?

Adam Sandler: Not sure what I'm doing on the show yet. I'm looking forward to seeing everybody. And I'm also looking forward to being in the studio again.

Question: Mr. Sandler, what was the character that you played that you thought was most like yourself?

Adam Sandler: I am 1/8 Happy Gilmore, 2/8 Sonny Koufax, 2/8 Bobby Boucher, 1/8 Billy Madison, how many eighths is that so far? Finally, 2/8 moron.

AOLJesse: Do you know your IQ?

Adam Sandler: Not sure. I'm guessing all of you beat me.

Question: Mr. Sandler, do you have any plans for a dramatic role?

Adam Sandler: It will happen someday. But as of right now, I'm concentrating on the funniness.

AOLJesse: People who knew you in high school have told the press that you're doing now what you did then. If we all do that, can we be stars too?

Adam Sandler: That's up to my girlfriend, the Lord, and my genitalia.

Question: Adam, we want to see you host SNL! Are you planning to anytime soon?

Adam Sandler: Not sure when. But I'm sure it will happen someday. I've been writing a lot of stand-up.... Maybe I'll do a tour soon, once I get it down.

Question: At what age did Adam Sandler get into showbiz?

Adam Sandler: Age 3 months. I would perform for other babies. And I would always close the show with my classic "poopy in the pants."

Question: A rumor has been spreading around my advanced drama class that there is going to be a sequel to "The Wedding Singer." Any truth to that?

Adam Sandler: Not that I'm aware of. I read that rumor also. I'm not sure who came up with that. I do plan on working with Drew again, and hopefully soon.

Question: I love you, Adam! You are my idol! I just wanted to ask you, what advice can you give to me as an aspiring young comedian?

Adam Sandler: Thank you for your compliment. As a comedian, all I can recommend is, if you think it's funny, then it's funny.

Question: Is there really a talking goat?

Adam Sandler: Yes. And he just told me recently that the old man is slowing down with the drinking, and it is making his goat life a lot more peaceful.

AOLJesse: Your new CD rocks (say ALL in our audience). They want you to tour.

Adam Sandler: I want to tour. I need the time and the material. I'm working on it.

AOLJesse: Would you like to play golf against Michael Jordan?

Adam Sandler: Not against Jordan. But I would tee up for him. It must be painful bending over that far to tee up 18 times a day.

Question: Adam, how many songs are on your new CD? I was just wondering, because I think you have a really awesome voice!

Adam Sandler: Six songs. Something like 11 skits. I played with some serious dudes. And I actually made a few friendships out of it. Ray Ellis arranged two of the big band tunes. He worked with Sinatra and Tony Bennett and Lena Horne. Now he has to deal with me calling him on a regular basis.

AOLJesse: You're on Letterman tonight. How did it go?

Adam Sandler: Had a great time. Audience was awesome. Dave was cool to me. I sang "7 Foot Man" with Shaffer and the boys. And they sounded heavy-duty.

AOLJesse: Any advice for parents who walk in as their kids are listening to your CD?

Adam Sandler: Come and join the party.

AOLJesse: This has been one. Thanks, Adam.

Adam Sandler: Thanks to everybody out there. Talk to you real soon. Hope to make more stuff for you. Love, Adam.
