Adam Sandler has gifted fans with his first standup comedian special since 2018.
The “Sandman” as he is affectionately known as, premiered “Love You” in New York on Tuesday (August 20).
The show features Sandler tackling numerous disruptions, which he revealed were set up by director Josh Safdie.
“I was not in on much. Stuff happened, Josh (Safdie) made sure stuff happened, so we kind of reacted,” said Sandler.
The organized chaos happens as Sandler performs his trademark comedic musical vignettes, raunchy jokes and plays guitars – even one gifted to him by his father when he was 15.
At the end of the film Sandler performs a tribute song to all the comedians who have influenced his career.
“It was something I've been thinking about for a long time, and, I wanted to do kind of a - thank people for paving the way and influence my generation and people before me. And, people are coming up after me."
“Love You” will make its global premiere on Netflix on August 27.
