Nikki Glaser<\/a> is recalling a hilarious mix-up she had with Adam Sandler<\/a>.\n<\/p>\n The comedian, who guested<\/a> on SiriusXM’s The Howard Stern Show to discuss hosting the Golden Globes for the second year in a row, discussed her time babysitting Judd Apatow<\/a> and Leslie Mann<\/a>‘s children, Maude and Iris Apatow \u2014 including her unexpected conversation with the Billy Madison actor.\n<\/p>\n “I remember one night, Adam Sandler called, and he was like, ‘Hellooo?'” she said, imitating the Happy Gilmore actor’s exaggeratedly goofy voice. “He thought I was Maude, ’cause their younger daughter had a kind of a huskier voice. ‘Hello, Maude, this is Adam.’ And I was like, ‘Oh, hi!’ And he was like, ‘Oh, sorry, you’re the babysitter! Adam Sandler. How’s your night going?'”\n<\/p>\n Glaser said she was surprised that the Uncut Gems actor, who worked with Judd Apatow on 2009’s Funny People, took a genuine interest in her on the phone call. “He asked me how my night was going,” she said. “It was my first interaction with Adam Sandler, and I have loved him ever since. That was the nicest call I’ve ever gotten from someone when I was babysitting, from like a family member or a friend calling.”\n<\/p>\n Nikki Glaser; Judd Apatow.<\/p>\n Mindy Small\/FilmMagic; Charles Sykes\/Bravo via Getty<\/p>\n The comedian said she was charmed by Sandler’s playful rapport with the Apatow kids. “It was so cute how he was so silly on the phone, and asked me how my night was,” she said. “And then I loved him ever since.”\n<\/p>\n Glaser reconnected with Sandler while hosting the 2026 Golden Globes. “He was at the Globes the other night, and I had to do something in the middle of the audience, and he’s sitting right in front of me, like turned around, watching, beaming at me, smiling, just rooting me on,” she said. “And I flubbed every line in that because I was so nervous performing for Adam Sandler, who was sitting front row. I love him so much. He was so supportive.”\n<\/p>\n
