-You know our first guest tonight from films
such as "Big Daddy," "Happy Gilmore," "Uncut Gems,"
and of course his time on "SNL."
He co-wrote and stars in "Hubie Halloween,"
which is currently streaming on Netflix.
Please welcome back to the show one of our favorites,
Adam Sandler. How are you, Adam?
-Seth! Seth, that was to funny, man.
I came in halfway through with the pipe.
Was it Bing Crosby?
-It was a little Bing Crosby.
It was a little Bing -- I tried to channel Bing Man.
-It was so funny, man! It was great!
-Thank you so much! I'm enjoying the beard.
Now a lot of people have quarantine beards,
but this is actually -- this is actually for a role,
correct? -Yeah.
It started off as a quarantine thing
and then it made sense for the character,
and then I have it and it's terrible.
I, uh... I don't know what to do.
It doesn't feel good.
I just did a scene with Queen Latifah
and she actually held it and kept looking me
in the eyes while holding it.
And then when they called cut, I saw her face was kind of like,
"Whoa, that was rough." [ Laughter ]
-You have two daughters. How do they feel?
I'm always fascinated by a kid's feedback
on things like facial hair.
-I got my kid here.
Sunny, come here. Say hi to Seth.
Say hi. See, that's Sunny. -Hi.
-Hi, Sunny. How are you? -Good. How are you?
-Good. How do you feel about the beard, Sunny?
-Tell him. What do think.
-I don't like it. -You don't or you do?
-It shows your gray hairs.
-Oh, yeah, it's the only place the grays are coming.
[ Laughter ]
-It usually -- it foreshadows
what the rest of the head's gonna look like one day.
-By the way, I have a scar on my hand,
but it's for the movie.
So this didn't happen to me.
But -- but -- -So nobody should be concerned?
-I don't want you to be nervous for me.
Anybody out there, all of the nice people.
-Sunny, you're so good in the movie.
Did you enjoy your time?
-Yes. Thank you. [ Laughs ]
-Yes. -It was really fun.
-We had a good time. Her and her sister had fun
coming by the set being goofy
and then running back to their friends.
But do you know Seth's from New Hampshire, dude?
-Oh, you are? -Yeah.
I grew up in Bedford, which is the --
a slightly nicer town than your dad is from.
-He's got more money --
-Did you guys know each other when you little?
-I raised him. I was a babysitter for him.
[ Laughter ] I taught him --
I taught him how to be funny when he was a little boy.
-He would come back and do a program,
it was like a summer camp where he would come back
and take kids who showed promise in comedy
and would just take us out to the woods.
-Yes, sir. Yes, sir. I really got Seth going.
Sarah Silverman didn't listen enough.
All right, I love you. Get out of here.
Tell Seth thanks. Mwah, I love you.
Okay, go, go. -Bye. Thank you!
-Bye! Nice to meet you.
-Yeah, she's nice, man. Her and her sister
are very nice. -That's good.
You got two nice kids.
-Yeah, yeah, you do too, right? You have two or one?
-I have two nice boys.
But I actually -- I was thinking while
I watching this movie because your character Hubie is --
has multi-generations of people in his hometown
have bullied him. -Yes.
-And I think it's a very valuable --
it must be nice to have your kids on set
because the message is of course to be nice to people.
-You know what's funny.
My two kids, they are so anti-bullying.
Their generation is growing up calling each other on like,
"That's not nice. You can't do that! You're mean!
Don't say that." It's pretty awesome.
Whereas, our New Hampshire upbringing was
full attack at all times. [ Laughter ]
-Yeah. I feel like when we lived through
a New England upbringing,
it was a real trial by fire.
-[ Laughs ]
We got our comedy chops from that neighborhood, man.
And -- but yes, it is --
Hubie does get picked on a little bit too much,
and thank God, things are gonna be okay for him
at the end of the day but, wow, he really --
he's good at ignoring the pain.
He's very good at that.
-This is a Halloween film.
Did you -- had you long wanted to do
a Halloween film like this?
-You know, Seth, I did "Eight Crazy Nights"
for Hanukkah.
That was maybe 15 years ago.
So I was allowed my Hanukkah movie.
I don't really know what other holiday they'd let me make.
Halloween, I've been celebrating my entire life
and had the best time ever with it.
So Netflix was like, "Could you do a --
Could you do some sort of a --"
What's that called again?
A -- What's Halloween again?
-A holiday? -Oh, yeah, a holiday!
[ Laughter ]
That is right, man!
That was a dumb one for the set!
I wouldn't really -- that lets you know
I haven't been sleeping much.
But, yes, they wanted to do a holiday movie
and I figured old Halloween, I'm allowed to do that one.
-That was a -- you put me in a real weird situation there
because I couldn't -- I thought I knew the word
you were looking for, but I kind of couldn't believe
it was the word you couldn't find!
[ Laughter ] -I'm really disgusting
with myself right now, and in front of my kid
who is staring at me. She's like,
"That's a baby word.
What don't you know right now?"
I'm sorry about humiliating the whole family on that.
-I don't know if you knew this about me,
because watching the movie, which takes place in Salem,
my mom grew up in Marblehead.
-See, that's incredible! -Crazy, right?
-Yeah. That -- we lived there the whole time.
We shot a lot there. And what a town.
-It's amazing. -I didn't want to leave there.
It's the most beautiful water and the people are great.
We get to know -- and they, like, they --
the supermarkets we shot in and there was ice cream
every day for everybody.
And man, that town.
Did you used to go there a lot growing up, Seth?
-Yeah, we went there all the time.
My grandmother lived right by Abbott Hall,
right in the sort of center of town there and --
-That town, it's so beautiful there.
-Gorgeous.
-So you used to walk around there as a kid.
Would you ride bikes there and stuff?
-We -- I think we -- we rode some bikes.
We walked around a little bit more 'cause I don't think
we'd bring our bikes. But we --
You know, I saw it in the movie and I had a real flashback.
You have a scene in the Salem Witch Museum.
-Yes, yes. -And we used to go there
and that plays scared the bejeesus out of me.
-Of course. That scared me as an adult.
It made me tense. And my kids didn't --
We shot a scene for a day there,
and everybody was like, "Could you please turn the music off?"
They'd get scared in there.
But everybody in Salem and in Marblehead
and everywhere we shot in Massachusetts,
they were so happy, the people,
they were great to us and also we brought Halloween with us
in the summertime, so there was --
all over the town was decorations and stuff
and it was a lot hotter than it usually is during Halloween,
but it was just really nice, and nice memories we had.
Halloween's the best holiday for sure.
It's just guaranteed happiness and I wish it never went away.
I hate when November shows up
and you're like, "We are done with that one?
God!" -Yeah, true.
'Cause there is a lot more -- 'cause I feel like you don't
have any, like, family drama with Halloween,
whereas like all of a sudden then you go into Thanksgiving
and Christmas and Hanukkah and it's all family.
-They kind of let you on your own, families go.
"Yeah, you do your Halloween
and then we will destroy you at Thanksgiving."
-I want to talk more about the movie,
but we'll be right back with more from Adam Sandler.
