Adam Sandler is going from 'Billy Madison' to Madison Square Garden.
Ahead of the July 25 release date of 'Happy Gilmore 2,' the funnyman announced he's hitting the road this summer and fall on his 'You're My Best Friend Tour.'
Starting Sept. 5, Sandler, 58, will swing into 34 arenas all over North America.
That includes not one, not two, not three, but four (!) huge gigs in New York State.
First, the 'SNL' alum drops into NYC's aforementioned MSG on Monday, Sept. 15.
After that, he'll make merry at Albany's MVP Arena on Tuesday, Sept. 16, Syracuse's Upstate Medical Arena on Wednesday, Sept. 17 and Buffalo's KeyBank Center on Sunday, Sept. 21.
'Let's have some fun,' the 2023 Mark Twain Prize For American Humor winner shared on Instagram.
These shows will be Sandler's first since his sprawling, extended 2022-23 trek, which was so exhaustive it included a leg called the 'I Missed You Tour,' where he headlined at venues he didn't get to the first time around. At all shows, he sang songs, told jokes and brought famous pals like Chris Rock, Kevin James, Woody Harrelson, Judd Apatow and David Spade onstage with him (for more details, keep scrolling).
Fans Sandmen and Sandwomen can purchase tickets for all upcoming Adam Sandler shows on sites like Vivid Seats; the official on-sale for the 'You're My Best Friend Tour' is Friday, June 27.
Vivid Seats is a secondary market ticketing platform, and prices may be higher or lower than face value, depending on demand.

Without further ado, here's everyone we've spotted performing with Sandler on tour since 2022:
Chris Rock ('The Week Of')
Kevin James ('I Now Pronounce You Chuck and Larry')
Woody Harrelson ('Anger Management')
Bobcat Goldthwait ('Shakes The Clown)
Rob Schneider ('The Waterboy')

Sarah Sherman ('Saturday Night Live')
No word yet on who will take the stage with Sandler at his upcoming gigs but any of the above are certainly possible candidates.
Adam Sandler upcoming projects
The mighty Sandman always has a few irons in the fire.
Here's what's coming next for the prolific comedian, courtesy of IMDb.
Happy Gilmore 2 continues the ongoing story of the angry yet sensitive amateur hockey player turned golf wunderkind. This time around, Sandler's stacked the cast with returning ringers like Christopher 'Shooter McGavin' McDonald Ben Stiller and Julie Bowen as well as oddballs like Eminem, Bad Bunny, Travis Kelce, Benny Safdie and Eric André.
Jay Kelly is a return to the goofball's serious side. Noah Baumbach writes and directs this film (yes, film!) about Jay Kelly who 'everyone knows' but he 'doesn't know himself.' George Clooney, Laura Dern, Greta Gerwig, Isla Fisher and Patrick Wilson round out the A-List ensemble.
Untitled Adam Sandler/Safdie Brothers project has been teased for years following the woulda been awards season powerhouse 'Uncut Gems.' The reported logline of this one — which would allegedly co-star Steve Harvey and Megan Thee Stallion — is 'set in the world of high-end sports card collecting in the 1990s, a retired baseball pitcher attempts a comeback as a sports memorabilia agent attempts to capitalize on his success.'

Suzanne Somers' widow Alan Hamel dating her Hollywood Wives co-star Joanna Cassidy
Suzanne Somers' widow Alan Hamel is dating the late actress' Hollywood Wives co-star Joanna Cassidy. The Three's Company star had been married to producer Alan, 88, for 36 years when she passed away on October 15 2023, at the age of 76, following a battle with breast cancer. However, almost two years on from her death, Alan has a new woman in his life in Joanna, 79, who starred alongside his late wife in the miniseries based on the 1983 novel of the same name by Jackie Collins. Confirming his new romance with the New York Post's Page Six column, he admitted: 'I don't know where this relationship is going." The new couple were photographed arm-in-arm in Malibu on Monday (23.06.25). Alan added: 'I have known Joanna Cassidy for over 45 years. 'Joanna was a guest star on [daytime talk show] 'The Alan Hamel Show' in Canada in the '70s. She was a great guest and it was a dynamic show, and we liked each other, not romantically, but mainly with respect. Both of us were married at the time.' Alan previously recalled that despite his and Suzanne's "mad fights", they would never put a stop to their love. He told Page Six: "For the first few years of our love affair, we fought like mad dogs. But we always returned to our passionate love for one another. After one of our fights, Suzanne said to me, 'No matter how bad it gets, let's never break up.' And we never did." The TV host recalled that he and Suzanne would always hold hands when they were asleep and he would spend the early morning just admiring her before she woke up. He said: "We always went to sleep every night holding hands, and in the morning I would always awaken a few minutes before Suzanne and I would just lie there, staring at her beautiful face." Meanwhile, Alan previously revealed that he had been getting signs from Suzanne and eventually accepted that she was "safe" in the afterlife. He told Fox News Digital: "One day I'm in the kitchen with my family, and all of a sudden, Suzanne's favorite song comes on the audio system; the audio system wasn't even turned on. It's a Latin song, and it's written and performed by someone no one's ever heard of. It's a song we used to dance to in the kitchen. It just came on all by itself. And then, when it was over, that was it. The audio system stayed off. "Later that day, the fireplace started by itself. "It stayed on for an hour and then it turned off. "Then one day, a hummingbird flew into our house. It goes to our little breakfast nook where there's a photograph of Suzanne and me where we're looking at each other. The hummingbird hovers in between our two faces. Then it flies up and sits on top of the photo. "A few weeks later, I opened all the doors and windows and I saw the same hummingbird – they all have very distinctive colorings… I walked over and extended my hands. The hummingbird jumps into my hands, and she tucks in her little feet. All I felt was her belly. She felt safe."
