Adam Sandler and his typically casual attire stormed out of the Oscars after becoming the butt of one of Conan O’Brien’s Oscar monologue jokes.
The 58-year-old comedian has typically never been one to dress up for most awards shows, a fact O’Brien pointed out in a very humorous fashion, causing Sandler to leave, but not before giving Oscar nominee Timothee Chalamet a kiss.
After showcasing some early headshots of stars like Zoe Saldana, Guy Pearce and even himself, O’Brien then mentioned how everyone was ‘properly dressed,’ before pausing awkwardly.
He then turned to Sandler, who was donning an aqua blue hoodie, basketball shorts and sneakers, sitting in an aisle seat at the Dolby Theatre in Hollywood.
‘Conan. What’s up my brother? What’s going on, man?’ Sandler said, before O’Brien chided him and asked, ‘Adam, what are you wearing?’
‘What are you doing right now?’ Sandler asked, as O’Brien repeated, ‘I’m asking you what are you wearing?’

Sandler responded, ‘Nobody even thought about what I was wearing until you brought it up!’ as the crowd laughed.
‘You’re dressed like a guy playing video poker at 2 AM, Adam,’ O’Brien added, as Sandler insisted, ‘You know what, I like the way I look, because I’m a good person.’
‘I don’t care about what I wear or what I don’t wear. If my snazzy gym shorts and fluffy sweatshirt offend you so much that you had to mock me in front of my peers, I’m going,’ Sandler said.
O’Brien apologized as Sandler reiterated that he was leaving, adding, ‘I have to,’ as some in the crowd shouted, ‘No’ to try and get him to stay.
The funnyman insisted, ‘No, it’s not you, it’s him,’ while pointing at the Oscar host on stage, as O’Brien was caught laughing.
‘You caused this!’ he said to O’Brien, who tried to stifle another laugh, as Sandler gave the Oscar crowd a special invitation.
‘You are all welcome to join me for a game of five-on-five basketball at Veteran Park tonight. Midnight tip-off. The guy from Nosferatu, he’s on my team,’ Sandler joked.
He then approached Oscar nominee Timothee Chalamet and said, ‘And one more thing, CHALAMET!’ while giving him a hug before leaving to applause.

‘Oh my God, thank you, Adam,’ O’Brien said as Sandler left, before continuing his monologue.
Sandler’s last bit with Chalamet was referencing a hilarious bit a few months earlier at the Golden Globes.
Globes host Nikki Glaser was doing bits on many of the nominees, adding that the 29-year-old actor’s name, ‘sounds like something Sandler would say.’
She then found Sandler in the crowd and asked him to say the actor’s name in his familiar delivery, which he hilariously obliged, ironically, while wearing a black-on-black suit.
