Adam Sandler’s association with the North Shore was showcased again on CBS Sunday Morning when the actor wore a Port Washington sweatshirt.
The well-known comedian was wearing a blue hooded sweatshirt with the word “Port” inside a fish, a design by Arena Sports in Port Washington. Sandler discussed his love of playing losers in films and his new movie during the interview.
He previously wore the sweatshirt to a screening of his new film “Hustle” in New York City in October. However, his history with Long Island’s North Shore extends beyond then.
After filming in Nassau County last May, Sandler was spotted playing basketball in Roslyn’s Morley Park. Rocking a pink polo shirt and basketball shorts, his team reportedly won a half-court game.
More notably, an incident involving a hostess at an IHOP restaurant in Manhasset not recognizing the masked star went viral less than a month before that. Sandler had walked in and left after she told him he would have to wait 30 minutes for a table.
Dayanna Rodas, the hostess, posted the 15-second TikTok video, which received over 13 million views and national attention. She joked about not recognizing him before showing security footage of their interaction.
Sandler joked in a tweet at the time, “For the record, I only left the IHOP because the nice woman told me the all-you-can-eat deal didn’t apply to the milkshakes.”
Sandler’s idea was later implemented by the chain for only one day. IHOP restaurants nationwide welcomed guests to “Milkshake Monday,” where they could enjoy unlimited milkshakes for $6.50 per person.
But even prior to that, Sandler has long been pictured throughout places such as Greenvale, Roslyn and Port Washington. He also recently performed at Elmont’s UBS Arena on Oct. 27.
