While chatting, Sandler shared that he is a big fan of Barrymore’s show and watches it “all the time” and Drew responded by divulging “You [Adam] helped me get the pilot. You and Cameron [Diaz]… ” Barrymore continued, “Her and I did discuss remaking Planes, Trains, and Automobiles, and then I was like, ‘Well you know Adam and I talk about that. Well, I also want to play John Candy.”

You could do a good Candy,” Sandler added, “You know who could do Candy the best? [Chris] Farley. He would walk around the office and say lines from Planes, Trains and Automobiles.”

Later on, Drew asked Adam which project he’s worked on that best describes him as an artist, and Sandler candidly responded, “I worked with this young lady one time. I met her at the Newsroom café. She came in, she had stylish hair. A little pinkish. She came in, we jammed on a movie idea. We got together; shot it. We had the best time ever, and I would want to see that one, and we call it, The Wedding Singer. I wasn’t allowed to sing ‘Grow Old with You’ to Drew before we sang it. I said, ‘I wrote that song,’ ‘I don’t want to hear it.’

Barrymore reminisced, “That’s my reaction on film for the first time. I did that with Forgetful Lucy too. Forgetful Lucy and then the dolphins did the perfect heart dive. The dolphins were like, ‘Ooo we like this let’s give it a good ending guys.’
