That's My Boy[]
Andy Samberg and Adam Sandler's working relationship after began in Adam Sandler's film, That's My Boy (2012) where they co-starred as father and son. During the press tour for the film, the two spoke highly of one another.
| “ | I really loved Andy. We got tighter and tighter. I would keep saying to Andy and to my buddies about Andy, he's kind of similar to me, but a little better, a little smarter and a little better looking. He's got all good angles. I can fake being good-looking, like, if I'm looking dead at you, but if I move left or right, it's like, 'What the f*** is that?' Andy can turn his head and you're still like, 'Alright, I like that.' He's just a hard worker. He's got comedy chops. Him and [Will] Forte are similar to the way that me and my buddies were back in the day, where it's all about being funny and all about coming up with stuff that you feel is fresh and makes you laugh. He really gave me good stuff in the movie, gave me good lines to say. I would finish a take and Andy would say, 'What about if you…?' And that's not a common thing in my life, where a costar is looking out for me, saying, 'Say this, try this joke.' He was in his trailer and Will, too, writing jokes for me. It was good. It was beautiful. I think his future, whatever he wants to do with it, it'll happen. He is a little less nuts than me. When I was his age I was f***ing a little more obsessed with kicking ass. He's obsessed with having a good life and I like that. He's going to have a nice life. And he'll also kick ass if he wants to. | ” |

| “ | I can talk about being a fan of Adam's for, like, the next seven hours. I watched 'SNL' since I was eight and wanted to be on it since I was eight. I remember when he came on the show. There was a lot of stuff that he did, but the moment that I was like, 'Oh, this is my guy,' was the Easy To Do Halloween Costumes on Update. He was like, 'Oh, I'm Jew Guy. I'm Under-the-Desk Man,' whatever. Under-the-Desk–Man, when he got under the desk and there was just a blank screen and him yelling up, I was like, 'You're allowed to do this on TV?' A lot of comedians talk about when you see some comedian or some sketch or some whatever movie, it feels like it's made just for you and that was definitely one of those moments. His time on the show was that for me, and then with the first couple of movies, 'Billy Madison,' and 'Happy Gilmore,' I was just at that impressionable age and I memorized those movies. I've said this before, but I had 'Billy Madison' on audio cassette and I'd walk around town listening to it in my Walkman. It's like if I couldn't be in front of a TV, I wanted to be hearing 'Billy Madison.' So I think it's safe to say that getting to work with Adam on this was kind of a dream come true for me. | ” |
