Adam Sandler guests on King of Queens
I love Adam Sandler, and I am pretty excited he is going to be appearing on a sitcom! King of Queens is the lucky recipient of Adam Sandler for a guest star, when he plays the old high school buddy of Kevin James’ character.
Now, Adam Sandler is a pretty big score for any television show, but Ausiello has his own suspicions about how King of Queens managed to snag the popular comic actor.
A little birdie with ties to the soon-to-conclude sitcom tells me that Adam Sandler taped a guest appearance last night for an episode slated to air in April. The erstwhile Billy Madison plays a goofy high-school chum of Kevin James’. The two reconnect at their class reunion, but there’s a twist: Sandler’s character, the ex-class clown, is now the school’s vice principal!
How’d producers pull off such a casting coup? Reps for the show declined to comment, but it’s a safe bet that Sandler did it as a favor to James, his costar in the upcoming gay-buddy comedy I Now Pronounce You Chuck and Larry. Just a hunch.
King of Queens, despite only returning to the CBS schedule recently is back on hiatus until April 9th. And then the final 9 episodes of the season - as well as the series - begin.
