In his playful bit, Sandler thanked the magazine’s “academy members of hotness” for recognizing him as the sexiest man, weaving in comedic remarks about his physical attributes under his “XXL loose-fitting leisure wear.”
The audience responded with laughter as he humorously described his abs (or lack thereof), hip bones, belly button, and made a light-hearted joke about his “PP.”
Transitioning to a more serious tone, Sandler expressed gratitude to those involved in his movies and extended heartfelt appreciation to his family and friends, particularly his daughters, Sadie and Sunny. He emphasized their significance in his life, declaring them his best friends. The comedian also dedicated touching words to his wife, Jackie, expressing eternal love and appreciation for their shared moments.
In a nod to his nomination for a People’s Choice Award for comedy movie star of the year for his Netflix film, “You Are So Not Invited to My Bat Mitzvah,” Adam Sandler playfully mentioned his entire immediate family’s involvement in the project.
