Conan O'Brien shares the behind-the-scenes story on Adam Sandler's Oscars joke

This is a fun throwback to this year's Golden Globe awards when host Nikki Glaser asked to get a "Chalamet" from the comedian during her opening monologue. Glaser actually reacted to the moment while on Live with Kelly and Mark's "After the Oscars Show."

That was the joke I made at the Golden Globes! So I saw like, a callback to my joke and I was watching it, like, [gasp]. It was so awesome. 

O’Brien originally wrote an idea to do with Sandler, but when he called him up to share it, Sandler had another idea for their back and forth interaction.

It involved him dressing in the way that he’s most comfortable, which of course was his idea because he doesn’t want to put on a tux. And then, his idea was so great. I mean, that was all Adam. Adam’s the king.

Funny enough, Sandler was recently seen in black tie attire at SNL 50: The Anniversary Special in New York on February 16. "It's a terrible feeling," he told Variety, however, he didn't want to let Al Franken down by wearing a sweatshirt. 

Moral of the story, if you're writing your opening award show monologue, make sure to include Sandler.
