“What are you doing right now?” Sandler asked, to which O’Brien simply explained, “I’m asking you what you’re wearing.”

Sandler reacted dramatically, saying, “Nobody even thought about what I was wearing until you brought it up.” O’Brien, in response, noted that he’s “dressed like a guy playing video poker at 2 a.m.”

TheUncut Gemsstar was unmoved, insisting, “I like the way I look because I’m a good person. I don’t care about what I wear or what I don’t wear. Did my snazzy gym shorts and fluffy sweatshirt offend you so much that you had to mock me in front of my peers?”

O’Brien, who had been holding in his laughter, earnestly apologized to Sandler.  “Hey, I’m sorry,” he said. “Adam, I apologize.”

Sandler said he was going to leave. “It’s not you, no, it’s not you,” he assured members of the audience. “It’s him,” he continued of O’Brien. “He’s the one who caused this.”

“I’m sorry. I’m sorry,” the host said.
