Adam Richard Sandler (born September 9, 1966) is an American comedian, actor, and filmmaker. He was a cast member on Saturday Night Live from 1990 to 1995, before going on to star in many Hollywood films, which have combined to earn more than $2 billion at the box office. Sandler had an estimated net worth of $420 million in 2020, and signed a further four-movie deal with Netflix worth over $250 million. Sandler's comedic roles include Billy Madison (1995), Happy Gilmore (1996), The Waterboy (1998), The Wedding Singer (1998), Big Daddy (1999), Mr. Deeds (2002), 50 First Dates (2004), The Longest Yard (2005), Click (2006), Grown Ups (2010), Just Go with It (2011), Grown Ups 2 (2013), Blended (2014), Murder Mystery (2019) and Hubie Halloween (2020). He also voiced Davey, Whitey, and Eleanore in Eight Crazy Nights and Dracula in the first three films of the Hotel Transylvania franchise (2012–2018). While some of his comedic films, including Jack and Jill (2011), have been panned, resulting in Sandler receiving nine Golden Raspberry Awards and 37 Raspberry Award nominations, more than any actor other than Sylvester Stallone, he has received critical acclaim for his dramatic performances in the dramedy films Spanglish (2004), Reign Over Me (2007), and Funny People (2009). He has also been roundly praised for his leading roles in auteur films including Punch-Drunk Love (2002) by Paul Thomas Anderson, Noah Baumbach's The Meyerowitz Stories (2017), and the Safdie brothers' Uncut Gems (2019), the last of which earned him the Independent Spirit Award for Best Male Lead.
Wondering what today's British are like? What they do? And why? So you can't miss the British comedy series Little Great Britain. It was originally a radio show that aired on BBC Radio 4 in 2001. Two years later, the author and presenter duo Matt Lucas and David Walliams turned it into an equally successful eight-part television series, followed by two more series of six episodes. During a surreal journey through the British Isles, we will witness various situations that are familiar to the British, and we will get acquainted with a number of curious characters and figures. These include Daffyd, the only gay man in the Welsh village, teenager Jason, passionately in love with his grandmother's best friend, or transvestite Emily, eager to do "female things". Thanks to Lucas and Walliams and their sharp look at the eccentricities of the modern world, this comedy series works perfectly for viewers.
