Always Be Comedy - Comedy Heroes #6 Adam Sandler
play

04/19/24 • 50 min

The Always Be Comedy team (OK, James and Tim) have launched a spin-off podcast: Always Be Comedy’s Comedy Heroes.

Each Friday, they’ll celebrate the icons, trailblazers and, in some instances, overlooked geniuses who’ve shaped the world of humour.

Today's hero is Adam Sandler!

SELECTED HIGHLIGHTS

Happy Gilmore highlights https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_XMZoTKAsXY

Phone Wallet Keys from 100% Fresh https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e9N6_Tj9u2U

The Roast of Adam Sandler https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aN_mMFapd10

More on Comedy Heroes : We’ll uncover hidden gems, revisit classic routines, and share the sorts of behind-the-scenes anecdotes that you can pass off as your own knowledge at dinner parties (“Did you know that Julia Louis-Dreyfus is the daughter of a billionaire? You did? Ah, that’s sort of rained on my parade a little...”).

What’s more, each episode kicks off with reader correspondence. Want to nominate a “Comedy Hero”? Please email [email protected] with the subject line “Comedy Heroes”.

And we’ll also take a look at the comedy news from that week.

If laughter is the best medicine, James and Tim should be doctors*! *This is just a gentle way to wrap up – James and Tim should NOT be doctors.
