Adam Sandler gave a hilarious speech, allegedly written by his daughters, while accepting a Performer Tribute honor at the 2022 Gotham Awards.
The 56-year-old actor was joined by his wife Jackie at the annual event on Monday night (November 28) at Cipriani Wall Street in New York City.
The award was presented by Uncut Gems directors Benny and Josh Safdie.

Adam joked at the beginning of his speech that his daughters Sunny and Sadie asked if he prepared a speech, and when he replied that he didn’t, that they “wrote” one for him.
“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, G.O.A.T. achievement Tribute Award,” he began the speech.
He continued, “It means a lot to him seeing that most of the awards on his trophy shelf are shaped like popcorn buckets, blimps, or fake mini-Oscars that say ‘Father of the Year’, which he sadly purchased himself while wandering in a self-pitying fog through the head shops of Times Square.”
Adam roasted celebs like Ben Stiller and Timothee Chalamet during the speech.
“The last time daddy caught us chuckling away at the Meet the Parents trilogy, he immediately stormed into the room he calls The Screaming Room, which we just call the shower, and bellowed out the phrase, ‘Only The Sandman makes people laugh. F— every other comedian,’” he joked.
