SANTA BARBARA, Calif. - Fans have a connection with Adam Sandler forged over dozens of films over three decades like Happy Gilmore from 1996 and it's popular sequel released in 2025. Many of those fans lined up behind the barricades around the Arlington Theatre to see the star who came around to greet them on a night when he received the most prestigious honor handed out by the Santa Barbara International Film Festival.

Known for comedies, Sandler showcased his dramatic chops in his most recent film Jay Kelly, alongside George Clooney.

"I love Clooney and I loved being on his team," Sandler said told NewsChannel 3-12 on the red carpet.

Two thousand people inside the Arlington Theatre were on Team Sandler as he received the Maltin Modern Master Award from SBIFF. He was greeted by a standing ovation from the sold out crowd before a discussion with film critic Leonard Maltin. Later in the evening, Duston Hoffman took the stage to talk about Sandler. They shared the screen in 2017 for The Meyerowitz Stories.

"We like to have fun, we like to get it done and make sure we're all proud," Sandler said about making movies.

Sandler's films have banked over three billion dollars at the box office worldwide. His production company has a huge deal to make movies for Netflix where his titles are are very popular for the streamer.

Santa Barbara International Film Festival Director Roger Durling called Sandler a masterful actor while emphasizing how hard it is to make people laugh like Sandler does.

"I've greatly admired this man for so long for all the laughs that he's provided to us." Durling said. "And I have met him a few times. He's the nicest. You saw him just now saying hello to everybody."

This wasn't the first sold out show Sandler has done in Santa Barbara. He performed two comedy/music shows at UC Santa Barbara in 1995 and 1997 at Campbell Hall. News Channel Anchor Scott Hennessee kept his ticket from the 1997 Sandler concert he went to while a student at UCSB, and showed it to Sandler during their interview on the red carpet.

"I remember that dude!" Sandler said.

Sandler recalled recording his now famous "The Chanukah Song" during his first show at UCSB to be on his comedy album.

"That's funny, man," Sandler said. "I really love it here, man. I love the school. I love the hang here. I've had nothing but good memories. When I was young here, and with my family here ... Tremendous place."

Entrenadores de famosos y aplicaciones de video: así serían los “Juegos Patriotas” de Trump

La administración Trump está planeando unir a competidores adolescentes con entrenadores famosos para el concurso atlético televisado “Patriot Games”, uno de los eventos que marcan las celebraciones por el 250 aniversario de Estados Unidos.

Un portavoz de Freedom 250, la organización sin fines de lucro que lidera las preparaciones del evento de la administración, proporcionó nuevos detalles a CNN después de que el presidente Donald Trump anunciara formalmente el evento en diciembre.

El portavoz no proporcionó los nombres de las celebridades que el grupo está reclutando para trabajar con los adolescentes participantes.

La competencia se llevará a cabo en otoño. Trump lo promocionó como “un evento atlético sin precedentes de cuatro días con los mejores atletas de preparatoria: un joven y una joven de cada estado y territorio”.

La capacidad atlética no será el único factor a considerar para la elegibilidad. Los posibles voluntarios deberán enviar una solicitud en video en línea respondiendo a una serie de preguntas para explicar por qué desean ser elegidos para representar a su estado, explicó el portavoz.

Los detalles sobre los tipos de eventos deportivos en las que competirán los participantes aún no se han hecho públicos.

Las solicitudes estarán abiertas para atletas de entre 14 y 17 años de los 50 estados, territorios y tribus de EE.UU., pero aquellos que cumplan 18 años antes del 31 de diciembre no serán elegibles, informó el portavoz.

La competencia ha generado comparaciones en las redes sociales con “Los juegos del hambre”, una serie de libros y franquicia cinematográfica distópica para adultos jóvenes en la que los niños son obligados a luchar hasta la muerte en estadios televisados.

Trump hizo una primera presentación preliminar de la competencia en julio, diciendo que sería televisada y dirigida por el Secretario de Salud y Servicios Humanos, Robert F. Kennedy Jr.

Los nuevos detalles surgen a medida que la administración avanza con sus planes para eventos nacionales.

El Poder Ejecutivo está impulsando esfuerzos para llevar a cabo las prioridades del aniversario del presidente, con agencias colaborando con Freedom 250 para ciertos eventos emblemáticos: Kennedy se asociará con Freedom 250 para organizar los Juegos Patriotas, y el Departamento de Agricultura ha adoptado la iniciativa presidencial de la Gran Feria Estatal Estadounidense, que invita a los estados a competir para que Trump elija su feria como la “más patriótica”.

Otras iniciativas para celebrar el 250 aniversario incluyen una pelea de la UFC en el jardín sur de la Casa Blanca el día del cumpleaños del presidente y la construcción de un arco de triunfo gigante frente al Monumento a Lincoln.

También está prevista una carrera de IndyCar en agosto cerca del National Mall.

El presidente firmó una orden la semana pasada que ordena a los departamentos del Interior y de Transporte colaborar con la oficina de la alcaldesa de Washington, Muriel Bowser, para actuar con rapidez y llevarla a cabo. Es posible que la iniciativa requiera la aprobación del Congreso.

Bowser, una demócrata, apoya la carrera y la promociona como un beneficio económico para la capital del país, que se ha visto afectada por despidos federales masivos.

Hamad Mousa made 7 three-pointers in loss

SAN LUIS OBIPSO, Calif. (KEYT) - Guard Hamad Mousa (above) finished with 33 points – one shy of his career high – and the Cal Poly men’s basketball program nearly overturned a 16-point second half deficit versus CSUN Thursday evening before being edged, 97-96.

Guard Peter Bandelj added 20 points for Cal Poly (9-15, 5-7), which still faced a 91-81 disadvantage with five-and-a-half minutes to play before a three-pointer from sophomore Cayden Ward and layups from Bandelj and guard Guzman Vasilic dropped CSUN’s lead to three.

Limiting CSUN to two field goals in the final five minutes, Cal Poly eventually closed the gap to one following another Bandelj layup with 47 seconds remaining. CSUN missed its ensuing attempt and Bandelj rebounded only to be whistled for an offensive foul with 17 seconds to go.

CSUN’s baseline inbounds pass was mishandled, however, and Bandelj retrieved the steal before being fouled at the rim. He sank both free throw attempts but, at the other end, Matadors guard Josiah Davis produced his 12th and final assist to find a trailing Joshua O’Garro for the eventual game-winning layup with two seconds on the clock.

At the buzzer, a three-point attempt from Ward fell short.

Vasilic added 11 points for Cal Poly, which sank 17 three-pointers – one shy of its season high set at Cal State Fullerton (Dec. 4). CSUN, however, shot 51.9 (14-for-27) percent from the arc compared to Cal Poly’s 40.5 (17-for-42) percent mark.

Up 15-8 to begin Thursday’s matchup, Cal Poly missed five successive early three-point attempts as CSUN – sinking six of seven opportunities from the floor in a four-minute window – surged into a 22-17 lead with 11 minutes remaining in the opening half.

Behind 10 first-half three-pointers, CSUN led by as much as nine in the opening period before taking a 52-48 edge into the locker room.

The Matadors then surged out of the break with a 14-3 run to go up 66-51 with 17-and-a-half minutes to play.

Cal Poly Noteworthy (versus CSUN)

Up Next: Cal Poly visits UC Davis on Saturday, Feb. 7 at 2 p.m. The Mustangs captured this year’s season series opener at home, 84-78 (Jan. 10).
With Thursday’s setback, Cal Poly slipped to eighth place in the Big West standings, but sits just two games back of fourth place UC Davis (14-9, 7-5).
Still a double-digit scorer in all 23 appearances, Hamad Mousa increased his Big West scoring lead to 21.2 points per game.
