Adam Sandler reveals how Bob Barker was cast in 'Happy Gilmore.'
In 1996's sports comedy film, Happy Gilmore has many iconic moments, but one of the most unexpected appearances in the film was of longtime TV and game show host Bob Barker appeared as himself to not just play golf with Adam Sandler's titular character but also throw fists with him. It is one of those castings that worked great in the film but makes you wonder how the whole thing came about.
The recent interview with Sandler and Jennifer Aniston was for the upcoming comedy film Murder Mystery 2 on Netflix, which is now streaming and stars the duo. During the interview, Weintraub brings up the shirt that he is wearing, which depicts a photo of Barker's face from the scene in Happy Gilmore where he and Gilmore get into a fight.
