00:00 Please welcome the people's icon, Adam Sandler!

00:04 [Applause]

00:08 [Music]

00:12 [Applause]

00:16 [Music]

00:20 [Applause]

00:24 Thank you! I'm sorry.

00:28 First of all, Anniston, I love you so much.

00:32 And I know you don't love doing stuff like this.

00:36 You're okay. Thanks. I do too.

00:40 You were fantastic. Sorry for coming up early. I got nervous too.

00:44 This is going to be a little humiliating.

00:48 So what happened was, I know you should prepare

00:52 a speech for a big night like this. I had one prepared

00:56 for you. So when my agent called me and said I won the People's Choice Icon

01:00 Award, I was driving. I had him on speaker phone.

01:04 And I was also eating Frosted Flakes.

01:08 I didn't hear. I think I misheard him. I thought he said

01:12 "Congratulations Adam, you won the People Magazine Sexiest Man Alive."

01:16 [Applause]

01:20 I wrote a speech for that.

01:24 And I don't have one prepared for the

01:28 icon thing, but I'm going to do the speech I wrote. Because they said

01:32 I've got to talk a few minutes, so let's get to it. Hello ladies and gentlemen, my name is

01:36 Adam Sandler.

01:40 And I am the sexiest man alive.

01:44 Can I get a "hell yeah"?

01:48 To the People Magazine's

01:52 Academy members of hotness and sexual attractiveness,

01:56 I would like to say thank you for recognizing me as the man who made our entire country

02:00 the horniest this year.

02:04 And was by far the most talked about person in the bedroom

02:08 by couples or thruffles during fantasy role playing sloppy time.

02:12 Can I get another "hell yeah"?

02:16 [Applause]

02:20 Very gracious, People Magazine. But I have to admit,

02:24 three words keep popping into my head right now. About freaking time.

02:28 [Applause]

02:32 For decades, Adam Sandler

02:36 has been waiting patiently on the sexy bench

02:40 with his legs wide open, radiating sensuality,

02:44 finger licking desirability,

02:48 and a slight

02:52 hint of man bulge.

02:56 Tastefully displayed for his, her, or their pleasure.

03:00 But now that this award has finally been bestowed upon

03:04 me, it will sit proudly on my nightstand,

03:08 where it will witness many feats of romantic gymnastics

03:12 performed gently on my finest hellwife,

03:16 Macalina.

03:20 You can do it, yes.

03:24 It will witness

03:28 me pulling off the regular style,

03:32 the weird noises style, and of course my specialty,

03:36 the "sorry about that, get you next time" style.

03:40 Can I get another "hell yeah"?

03:44 [Applause]

03:48 Still going, sorry. Over the years, many people have said to me,

03:52 "Sandman, you're always wearing baggy clothes. What are you hiding

03:56 under there?" To which I say, "I ain't hiding nothing.

04:00 Underneath my double X, loose-fitting leisure wear is pure perfection.

04:04 Here are the highlights. My abs don't have any.

04:08 My hip bones under there somewhere.

04:12 My belly button, lost that thing years ago.

04:16 My nipples, one pointing east, the other pointing

04:20 south, and a third pointing at anything that would dare to look

04:24 at it. And of course, lastly, my pee-pee.

04:28 Let's just say on a Pinocchio scale, it is six to

04:32 twelve lies long, depending on wind

04:36 chill and/or humidity." Wrapping up, I want to say

04:40 Adam Sandler doesn't want to take this award without giving back to the community.

04:44 So here's some advice to the ugly folk out there

04:48 who would also like to unlock their full beefcake potential.

04:52 Embrace your chubbiness, lean into your

04:56 goofiness, and just start hanging out with David Spade and Rob

05:00 Schneider so you can look handsomer and three feet

05:04 taller than you actually are.

05:08 [applause]

05:12 I really do. Sally, I've been up here so long, but let me hurry up.

05:16 I really, I do want to say something real to my

05:20 everybody. I wrote it, shoot. I want

05:24 to say thanks to all the people who've worked hard on the movies. Anderson, you're one of them.

05:28 My friends for being such a huge part of all we do. My family

05:32 for always making me feel loved. Mom, Dad, Liz, Val, Scott, I'm glad

05:36 you're good. Uncles, aunts, cousins, nephews, nieces, my in-laws, I love you

05:40 guys. My daughters, Sadie and Sunshine.

05:44 Not a minute goes by without me thinking of you

05:48 and how much I love you and how awesome I think you are. You're my best friends.

05:52 And my darling wife, Jackie, you are.

05:56 [applause]

06:00 You are my partner for life. I love every car ride and every

06:04 kiss we've ever had. Forever and ever, my girl. And to all

06:08 the people out there, because this is the People's Award.

06:12 Thank you for all the amazing times we've had together. Let's keep

06:16 it going. Love you!

06:20 (upbeat music)

06:22 you
