The Untold Truth Of Adam Sandler

Most celebrities have charities they support, whether it be by financial donations, being a spokesperson, or appearing at events. Sandler has gone a bit of a different route with some surprising moves. In 2015, he appeared on Comedy Central's Night of Too Many Stars, which is an annual event that started in 2006 to raise money for autism research and organizations. In this edition, he came face to face with his old nemesis... Bob Barker. The schtick? Even though they supposedly hadn't spoke in years, things went sideways very, very quickly during Sandler's visit to an ailing Barker in the hospital, and the two were right back at where they left off in Happy Gilmore.

He made another off-beat appearance in 2012 at 12-12-12 (shown above), a benefit concert for those that had been impacted by Hurricane Sandy. He took the stage along with big names like Bon Jovi and Roger Waters, Rolling Stone reported, but he wasn't singing an old classic. He was singing his own version of Leonard Cohen's "Hallelujah", and his take? "Sandy, screw ya."

Not all Sandler's charity efforts are of the sort that require a NSFW warning, though, and in 2007 he proved that he hadn't forgotten where he came from. He donated $1 million to the Boys and Girls Club in Manchester New Hampshire, and he said it was for all the good memories he had of growing up there (via Pop Sugar).
