In the late 1980s, Sandler portrayed "Smitty" on The Cosby Show (1985-1989).
Sandler started performing in comedy clubs by spontaneously taking the stage at a club in Boston. He was then discovered by comedian Dennis Miller[?], who caught Sandler's act in Los Angeles. Dennis immediately recommended Sandler to Saturday Night Live producer, Lorne Michaels. Sandler was hired as a writer for Saturday Night Live in 1990 and became a featured player the following year. Sandler quickly made a name for himself by performing amusing original songs on the show.
Sandler graduated from New York University with a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree[?] in 1991. On Sunday, June 22, 2003, he wed model Jackie Titone[1] (http://us.imdb.com/Name?Titone,%20Jackie), who he met on the set of Big Daddy.
