Few stars are as funny as Adam Sandler, as the beloved funnyman just has a unique sense of humor. With that quirkiness, Sandler occasionally has a tendency to make a funny declaration or two during an interview or within some other context. Several years back, he actually made a hilariously jokey promise while on Howard Stern’s show. And, as the actor explained when he recently spoke to CinemaBlend, that joke is still following him around.

Back in 2019, Adam Sandler received rave reviews for his performance in the Safdie Brothers’ crime thriller Uncut Gems. With Sandler getting that considerable praise for his work, many industry analysts speculated, at the time, that he could land an Oscar nomination or even win. Sandler famously said on The Howard Stern Show that if he didn’t land a nod or win, he would purposely make bad movies for a while. Ultimately (and unfortunately), Sandler didn’t win a gold statuette or get nominated for one.
