Adam Sandler on why he wanted to create a Happy Gilmore sequel
During an appearance on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon last summer, Sandler explained why he wanted to create a Happy Gilmore sequel after all these years.
“People have been asking me for a long time, ‘Do ‘Happy Gilmore 2,’’ and I was always like, ‘Nah, I’ll only let you down,’” he said in the August 2024 interview. “But then me and my buddy, Tim Herlihy, we came up with this idea. We’re really excited about it.”
