\n\tBad Bunny<\/a> and Adam Sandler<\/a> bring their comedic chemistry to Late Night With Seth Meyers<\/em> on Tuesday night (July 22), teasing the arrival of Happy Gilmore 2<\/em> this week.<\/p>\n

\n\tIn the interview, the unlikely duo \u2014 Sandler reprising his role as golfer Happy Gilmore and Benito as his eccentric caddie \u2014 charm audiences with stories about the sequel and a dose of behind-the-scenes humor, as shown in the teaser below.<\/p>\n

\n\tWhen Meyers asked Sandler how he knew Bad Bunny had the comedic chops for the role, Sandler didn\u2019t hesitate.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cI saw him on Saturday Night Live<\/em>,\u201d Sandler said, then pointing to Benito. \u201cWhen I saw you on Saturday Night Live<\/em>, I was like, \u2018He\u2019s funnier than me.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tThe Puerto Rican superstar \u2014\u00a0who took a break from his historic residency in Puerto Rico <\/a>to do the interview \u2014 quickly but humbly deflected the compliment: \u201cThere\u2019s no way, there\u2019s no way.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tMeyers wasn\u2019t far behind in praising the \u201cNUEVAYoL\u201d hitmaker, bringing up his memorable SNL<\/em> sketches during his hosting gig and three-time stint as a musical guest. Benito named his favorites, including the viral moment he played a t\u00eda<\/em> alongside Pedro Pascal<\/a>, also starring SNL<\/em> castmember Marcello Hern\u00e1ndez. Meyers, prepared for this answer, pulled up the now-iconic photo of the duo fully committed to their hilarious characters, dressed like elderly aunties.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cThat was epic for me and for the whole Latino community,\u201d Benito said, reflecting on one of his most celebrated moments on SNL<\/em>. But he didn\u2019t stop there, citing another fan-favorite skit: \u201cI love the Shrek one.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tMeyers couldn\u2019t resist joking about Bunny\u2019s effortless comic timing. \u201cIn both the Benito sketches, he\u2019s just like barely trying, you know?\u201d Sandler chuckled in agreement, hinting that this easy humor is exactly what brought Bad Bunny into his comedic fold.<\/p>\n

\n\tThe playful banter offers fans a taste of what\u2019s to come in Happy Gilmore 2<\/em>, where Sandler\u2019s golf franchise gets a fresh twist nearly three decades later. The film premieres Friday on Netflix.<\/p>\n

\n\tTune in to Late Night With Seth Meyers<\/em> tonight at 12:35 a.m. ET on NBC to see the full interview, and catch a preview below.<\/p>\n
