    www.kennedy-center.org/whats-...
    The Kennedy Center's Mark Twain Prize, which is named to honor one of the world’s greatest humorists, was awarded to Adam Sandler at a gala performance featuring some of the biggest names in comedy -- including Chris Rock, Conan O'Brien, Ben Stiller, Dana Carvey, Pete Davidson, Drew Barrymore, Jennifer Anniston, Idina Menzel, David Spade, and more -- on March 19, 2023, and aired nationally on CNN on March 26, 2023.
    The Mark Twain Prize for American Humor recognizes individuals who have had an impact on American society in ways similar to the distinguished 19th-century novelist and essayist Samuel Clemens, best known as Mark Twain. As a social commentator, satirist, and creator of characters, Clemens was a fearless observer of society, who startled many while delighting and informing many more with his uncompromising perspective on social injustice and personal folly.
    “Adam Sandler has entertained audiences for over three decades with his films, music, and his tenure as a fan favorite cast member on SNL,” said Kennedy Center President Deborah F. Rutter about this year’s recipient. “Adam has created characters that have made us laugh, cry, and cry from laughing. I am looking forward to a laughter-filled evening like no other as we celebrate his career at a ceremony that is sure to bring together the best in comedy.”

    I hope he knows that even if critics say things about his movies that so many people
    Love them. He’s my comfort movie star. Like if I’m in a bad place, I immediately put on the wedding singer or 50 first dates, any of his movies honestly. He’s helped me through a lot of tough times. I love this man so much!

      To hell with critics, Adam Sandler is amazing and so are his movies. Sometimes it’s not about how amazing it is from a critics standpoint, it’s about the effect it has on your life. The memories and laughs it created for yourself and the people you care about.
      When I’d get sick as a child, my mom would put on an Adam Sandler movie and lay in bed with me until I fell asleep. Now as an adult I still put on my favorite Adam Sandler movies when I’m sick, it almost feels like a warm hug from my mom. Takes me back to her rubbing my stomach and putting cool washcloths on my forehead. Nothing compares to that feeling, and this may sound like a dumb joke, but watching Happy Gilmore, Big Daddy or Mr. Deeds takes me back to that for a moment.

    The part where he talks about the best moment of his life meeting his future wife and having his daughters made me tear up. What an incredible humble and grateful man this is. And he really did think of and thanked every single person who accompanied him on his way up. That alone shows what kind of person he is.

    Even his crooked tie is endearing. So Adam, even if unintentionally. Adam, you were the star of the house when raising my (now, teenage) sons. You kept it clean (for the most part, lol), when it needed to be. My eldest, at 7, once wrote out all of the lyrics to Lunch Lady Land; misspellings, malapropisms and all. It was the only song he ever wrote out, and I still have it. (Of course, at that age, I didn’t tell him he could easily look up lyrics on Google - even though he knew by that time what Google was). You have made such a loving, humorous, and incredibly cool contribution to not only comedy but to generations of impish (but still compassionate) tweens to come.
    [Edit: Oh yeah, I am also a huge fan of all of your dramatic work. Punch Drunk Love is still my favorite.]

    • @jamesestelle7260
      @jamesestelle7260 Рік тому +5

      People still give him crap because they don't like the style he uses. Yet Reign Over Me, Uncut Gems, Hustle, and Punch-Drunk Love are all great movies that showed he isn't just a corny comedian. There are several other great movies he has made over the last 30 years that have made millions of people laugh. Who cares if some don't like his movies. They are the same people who probably complain when other people have success and they expect money handed to them. Cope harder.
