Adam Sandler stole the show at the Gotham Awards with his acceptance speech Monday Night. The actor accepted a Performer Tribute award where he explained how he told his daughters Sadie and Sunny that he didn’t write a speech. But thankfully his daughters had him covered.
“Dear well-dressed dignitaries, highly educated hipsters and various other plus-ones of the Gotham Awards, thank you for giving our daddy, Mr. Adam Sandler, this prestigious lifetime, all-time, primetime GOAT achievement tribute award.” Sandler said, reading from the script his daughters gave him.
His two teen girls seized on the opportunity to write a speech for him. Sandler agreed, saying he was delighted they were doing something other than watching YouTube. The only restriction the girls gave their father was he had to deliver the speech in what they called “that goofy Southern accent that you always do your dumb speeches in”.
