Adam Sandler's trademark casualwear mocked by Oscars host Conan O'Brien
Adam Sandler's fashion sense, or lack of it, gained even more notoriety at the Oscars on Sunday as host Conan O'Brien mocked his casual look in one of the night's skits.
O'Brien, who was hosting his first Oscars, addressed the audience, telling them that 'for such a prestigious night, it is important that everyone is properly dressed.'
'Adam,' he said pointedly, as the camera panned toward the 'Uncut Gems' star, sitting in the audience sporting a trademark colorful hoodie, long gym shorts, socks and sneakers. 'What are you wearing?'
Sandler began by playing oblivious before appearing to become increasingly angry as O'Brien ribbed him, saying 'you're dressed like a guy playing video poker at 2 a.m.'
'I like the way I look,' Sandler countered. 'Because I'm a good person; I don't care about what I wear and what I don't wear. Does my snazzy gym shorts and fluffy sweatshirt offend you so much that you had to mock me in front my peers?'
Eventually, he stood up to leave, telling the audience they were all welcome to join him in a game of 'five on five basketball' later.
Finally, spotting Best Actor nominee Timothée Chalamet, he roared 'Chalamet!' and gave the 'A Complete Unknown' star a hug.
Mission accomplished, audience applause secured, Sandler ran out the back of the theater with his arms in the air as O'Brien waved him off from the stage.
The moment instantly went viral on social media, gathering millions of views on X and YouTube.
Sandler's goofy dad attire has made him an unlikely fashion icon and earned him a loyal Gen Z fanbase, with many chronicling their favorite examples of his outfits on TikTok.

Taylor Swift Sneakily Attended a Wedding With Travis Kelce in a Strapless Blue Dress
This week, Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce were guests at a backyard wedding in Tennessee and though all eyes were on the bride and groom, some pictures of the famous couple showed them having a romantic evening of their own. The dress code appeared to be summer casual and Swift fit in perfectly in a strapless blue dress with a small flower pattern, structured bodice, and flowing skirt that ended at her ankles. On her feet, she wore tan high-heeled sandals. The Eras Tour star had her hair half up and wore a bracelet and small pieces of jewelry for accessories. Kelce was wearing dress pants and a short-sleeved button-down shirt in brown. In a TikTok shared by creator @laurenelizabethduhhh, Swift and Kelce can be seen seated side-by-side at a long table, watching the newly wedded couple enjoy their first dance. Swift starts swaying to the music and Kelce joins her in a cute shared moment. Since the end of the NFL season in February, Swift and Kelce have been enjoying some quality time together out of the spotlight. This week, they were seen in Florida together, where Swift wore a classic little black dress to their dinner date. Just before the images of their date night started circulating, a source told Us Weekly that the two were keeping a low profile on purpose right now. 'They are making fewer public appearances together because [their relationship] brings too much unwanted attention, but there isn't trouble in paradise,' the insider explained. A second source shared that Swift has been living in both Miami, where Kelce has been training during his offseason, and New York: 'Taylor has been coming and going to Florida and is still spending a lot of her time in NYC.' And it appears she's making some special time for Tennessee.

Mentorship programs brings the next generation to Broadway
Broadway is where dreams come true for theater lovers. Mentorship programs are working to bring young audiences, creatives and performers to the Great Bright Way. The Theater Development Fund's Wendy Wasserstein Project connects mentors to students around New York and takes kids to Broadway shows. Since its founding in 1978, some 60 mentors have brought 4,000 students to shows. This year, eight of those students are from the Young Women's Leadership School of Manhattan, a public all-girls school in Harlem. Their mentor is Tony Award-winning lyricist David Zippel. "I do open doors, because I'm so excited about live theater that I want to share that with as many people as I can," Zippel told CBS Saturday Morning. Ramona Fittipaldi, the students' math teacher, encourages participation in the program. She said she's had students be moved to tears by what they've seen on stage. Students in attendance at "Purpose" on Broadway. CBS Saturday Morning "I had a student tell me that she was so upset that the show ended, because it connected to her life so well that she just wanted more," Fittipaldi said. Recently, the students, Zippel and Fittipaldi, saw "Purpose," a play about a troubled Black family grappling with faith, legacy and identity. Afterwards, the group met to share some pizza and discuss what they'd seen. Zippel said these "pizza discussions" have led to candid talks about the students' lives. This year, "Purpose" actor Kara Young made a surprise appearance at the pizza discussion. Young is Tony-nominated for her performance. It's her fourth straight year being nominated for an acting award. She graduated from the same leadership school as the students. Mameawa Thiaw, one of the students, said she was excited to meet Young after watching her onstage. "Growing up as a young Black woman, so to see myself presented in media, especially live media, is something that I do take pride in," Thiaw said. Meanwhile, five-time Tony Award winner Susan Stroman mentors future playwrights through a writing fellowship in her name at the University of Delaware. She has brought fellows to rehearsals of "Smash," her most recent musical, and introduced them to set designers, lighting designers, and other production workers. Erin Muñoz, one of the fellows, said the exposure to the different fields further drove her Broadway dreams. "I remember we were seeing the rehearsal for Smash, and I just couldn't stop thinking how much I want to spend the rest of my life in a room like that with so many creative and talented people," Muñoz said. Stroman said she hopes this fellowship and other programs help bring more young people into the theater world. "There's nothing like being in the back of a theater of something that I've created and seeing how it moves an audience," Stroman said. "See if they're crying, if they're laughing, if they're putting their arms around one another. There's no greater feeling."
