ADAM SANDLER GIVES NYU GRADUATION SPEECH FOR THE AGES
Written by Tony Schultz on May 26, 2022
I can understand if you’re not the biggest fan of Adam Sandler. His comedy styling and early movies are not Oscar winners or even considered although he has made some dramas that have been critically acclaimed. No matter what you think he has had a great career and he still has some of the most quoted characters and moments in comedy from Saturday Night Live to “Billy Madison”, “Happy Gilmore” and “The Waterboy”. You may have even quoted one of his lines or shared a meme online without knowing it came from him. Sandler was asked to do the commencement speech at New York University where he graduated from in 1988 with a Bachelor’s Degree in Acting. Adam gave the type of speech only he could give in his aggressive and goofy style with a few “colorful” words in it. It starts out funny, but he does take time to be serious and get emotional about his time spent at NYU and his memories.
