In a new interview with Adam Lupis, KISS icon Gene Simmons recalled attending a charity event hosted by actor Adam Sandler several years ago, noting things got a bit crazy when he decided to stick his famously long tongue down Sandler’s throat.
“There was a band on stage and he asked me to get up and do a song or two,” Simmons remembered. “And of course Adam’s in there because he’s a real rock fan, jumping up and down.
“And somebody was taking a photo of us. Of course, I wanted to turn Adam into my bitch, so I stuck my tongue almost down his throat.”
Sandler shared this same story during an appearance on Conan O’Brien in 2019. Although, according to the actor, the incident took place at one of his Christmas parties, not at a charity event.
“We’re on stage playing a KISS tune [and Simmons] pulls out the tongue,” he said at the time. “The tongue comes out, 7-incher. [He] starts coming at the Sandman with the tongue, and I’m playing along, and then I’m like, ‘Oh man, he’s getting real close with the tongue.’”
“[He] came at the Sandman, big tongue right to me. I think he gave me a couple of licks. And I took it like a man,” Sandler added.
