The Return of Bobby Boucher? Adam Sandler Tapped as Celebrity Guest for Tonight’s ESPN ManningCast (Exclusive)

As a lifelong fan of Adam Sandler and football, I couldn’t be more thrilled about his appearance on tonight’s Manningcast! The man who brought us hilarious characters like Happy Gilmore and Bobby Boucher is coming to share his unique insights on the game. And as a die-hard New York Jets fan, it feels surreal that he’ll be discussing our team, especially after last season’s heartbreak with Aaron Rodgers’ injury.


Actor and comedian Adam Sandler has revived the character Happy Gilmore, leading us to wonder if the character Bobby Boucher might follow suit.

Tonight, Sandler will appear as a notable star guest during the opening episode of ESPN 2’s “Manningcast,” which is hosted by Peyton and Eli Manning, according to information obtained by The Hollywood Reporter.

Manning’s Omaha Productions put together a preview, featuring his character from the film:

Adam Sandler, who celebrates his 58th birthday on Monday, was once the football prodigy Bobby Boucher Jr. in the 1998 comedy “The Waterboy.” A devoted New York Jets fan, he will witness his team go up against the San Francisco 49ers, a match that comes a year after quarterback Aaron Rodgers had to leave early due to a torn achilles playing against the Bills.

The comedian and actor is also promoting his new Netflix comedy special Love You.

In the second half of the game, Sandler is expected to team up with the Manning brothers. Meanwhile, Bill Belichick, who recently signed an agreement with Peyton Manning’s production company for a role in their ESPN2 broadcast throughout the entire season, will be joining them during the first half.

Last week, Manning revealed to The Hollywood Reporter that he’s changing the format for this year’s show. He plans to bring in Belichick earlier and incorporate more celebrities towards the end of the game.

Each off-season, we’ve made it a point to analyze our past performances, identifying what worked and what didn’t, as well as areas for improvement. We found it beneficial to invite Bill Belichick to share his expertise on defense and difficult coaching decisions. His perspective will be valuable, given our history – he doesn’t particularly care for me since I beat him in two Super Bowls. I’m delighted to have him around, as it provides me with extra arguments when my brother ridicules my forehead.

In the second part of our show, I’ll keep you company with our esteemed panelists who are passionate about the team. Based on some research we conducted, it seems fans appreciate insights from a celebrity who adores the team, but they should also be die-hard football enthusiasts. Towards the final quarter, when the game is critical, we might bring in a current or former player to share some genuine insights.
