This animated film.

Yeah, yeah.

Hanukkah movie.

Yeah.

This was important for you to make.

(laughs)You always, you want.

Yeah.

This was important for you

to make Hanukkah movie. Why?

Goes back to third grade.

(laughs)

I was in class art, class, Conan.

Yes.

And minding my business, making my holiday project

and I was working on my Hanukkah project.

The other kids were working on a Christmas project.

That's, that's excellent.

(laughs)

The teacher leaves the room, four kids who don't celebrate

Hanukkah start kind of shoving me.

(laughs)

They started shoving you?

Yeah, I was kid, you know,

they push me, throw me to the ground.

You're different than us.

(laughs)

That kind of thing.

(laughs)

I was shook up.

Yeah but I stayed strong didn't cry.

You didn't cry?

Didn't want to cry.

Didn't want to give them that satisfaction.

I just kind of stared at them, I was like,

one day I I'm going to move to Hollywood

(laughs)

and I am going to make a Hanukkah movie.

(laughs)

All the world's going to love it.

(laughs)

And I'm going to have enough money at that time

to pay a doctor to take this paper machine menorah

out of my ass.

(laughs)

(applauds)

It's terrible but it's gone now.

(crowd applauds)

Did you get rid of it?

Got rid of, most of, most of it is out, yeah.

Your childhood stories are so heartwarming.

Yeah.

That's what I love about them.

(laughs)

But there aren't a lot of Hanukkah films.

Yeah, yeah. there's like,

I think a million movies about Christmas

but not a lot of Hanukkah movies, Why?

Well, I think there's two reasons for that now.

Well, first of all, there is not that many Jewish people.

Right.

There's there's more people..

Fewer Jewish people, right?

Yeah, exactly fewer Jewish people, that's number one.

Number two, I think it's the, the greeting.

Merry Christmas to me, it sounds better than Happy Hanukkah.

Just, just fond of saying Merry Christmas,

Hey, Merry Christmas.

How are you doing? Merry Christmas.

What's up? Merry Christmas.

(laughs)

Happy Hanukkah is not is not is bad

but there's Happy Birthday.

(laughs)

and there's Happy Thanksgiving.

(laughs)

Happy New Year kind of steps on it a little bit.

Right, right.

(laughs)

So

So its not special.

It's not special at all

so I thought about new greeting this year for a Hanukkah,

the Jewish people out there,

if you wanna take it from me

and I think we could spread this mate.

(applauds)

Next time you see someone there during

the Hanukkah season, just look at them and go,

Hanukkah Skidoo.

(laughs)

Hanukkah skiddo?

Hanukkaah skiddo. Yeah.

(laughs)

That's nice, that really flows too.

(laughs)

I don't know if it's good or bad,

I didn't put a lot of thought on it.

(laughs)

Yeah.

You just sang Hanukkah three, third installment of the

Hanukkah song on Saturday night live.

Yeah, that was a good time to be back there, yeah.

It's nice to go back and visit the old home.

Yes, when we, you and I used to share hands.

It was pretty crazy when we were together back then.

(laughs)

But it actually, wasn't crazy at all.

(laughs)

Bobby do, do a lot, do a lot of people

come up to you and say,

'cause the song is all about you mentioning.

Yeah,yeah.

different Jewish celebrities.

Yeah, yeah.

So do people come up to you and say like, come on

Yeah. Work me into the song

'cause it's just a famous song now?

Yeah, I do.

I have a lot of, a lot of just people on the street.

Hey, you got to put me in that song, man.

(laughs)

throw me in that man, I got people who aren't jewish say

hey throw me in that song.

(laughs)

I think they just doing that because they think it'll help

them get into law school.

(laughs)

But(laughs)

It might too.

(applauds)

What's, I don't know a lot, I grew up in a Catholic house.

Yeah.

And I never kind of understood, like Christmas,

It's really easy.

Right.

You know,you come down

and there's a bunch of presents under the tree

on the 25th and that's it.

Yeah.

Whereas Hanukkah, there's like, it's complicated.

Yeah.

There's different days (laughs)

And different presents and all that kind of stuff.

Yeah, yeah.

What's the weirdest Hanukkah gift that you got?

What's the strangest of the gifts that you got?

This was in, my mother kind of went nuts one year

with trying to surprise me.

It's eight days long, so first night she,

I opened up a little present

and it's two double A batteries

(laughs)

And I'm like, hey, all right

and I'm like, mom, where's this going?

She's like, you'll see.

(laughs)

And day two, couple of more batteries, you know,

seven days of it, the batteries

and I know it's leading up to the big one.

So day eight, I open it up like a nine inch vibrator.

(laughs)

And I'm like, whoa, mum very funny,

(laughs)

you know but you know,

that vibrator only takes 10 batteries.

What about the four extra one?

She goes, I thought,

you could put those in your Heinie too Bobby.

(laughs)

Yeah, stop.

(laughs)

I couldn't believe it, you know.

That was wonderful.

(applauds)

Well, I was, I was seven years old.

You were seven?

(laughs)

What a wonderful mom. (laughs)

Well yeah, she used to like(laughs)

to have fun for the holiday.

She's put a lot of thought into that one.

Yeah, yeah.

All right, you know, I wanna mention one thing.

Your movie Punch Drunk Love

Yeah. came out recently.

Yes, you went to the festival?

I went to the festival right here in Lincoln center.

Yes.

and true story, I'm sitting there with my wife for

Yeah.

the movie score and people really love the movie.

Yeah.

And exactly halfway through the movie

and I'm not making this up, halfway through the movie

suddenly in front of our row and like to the left

an older woman started going.

(yelping)

(laughs)

And all of a sudden like there's a lot of commotion.

Yeah.

The film stopped. Yeah.

The lights came up

All right.

And people rushed in to see if this older woman was okay.

Yeah.

And the woman seemed fine and she started getting mad

that people were like, cause it's,

you know, people were looking at her.

Right, right.

So she started going like,

don't look at me.

(laughs)

Don't look at me.

(laughs)

And I couldn't really see the woman

but I was convinced that it was you doing it.

(laughs)

It did seem like such an Adam thing to do.

(applauds)

I was convinced and I don't know if it was you or not.

Yeah.

But don't look at me.

(laughs)

Stop looking at me and then they, you know,

there was a commotion and they started the film again but

Yeah.

But now, she's better now I hope.

(laughs)

I heard, I heard that.

I swear, that was you.

It wasn't, I was eating Chinese food.

Okay, all right, good.

Yeah but I did hear about that.

That's a good alibi for anything.

(laughs)

Not me, I was eating chinese food.

Don't look at me.

All right, we'll take a break.

We'll have more with Adam Sandler in just a second.

Stick around.
