Adam Sandler jokes about setting the record straight after hilarious TikTok video of him leaving a busy IHOP goes viral
Adam Sandler is poking fun at himself after TikTok video of him getting turned away from a busy IHOP went viral last week.
The beloved comic, 54, took to Twitter to explain why he actually left the breakfast spot, joking how it wasn’t the 30minute wait for a table but was rather an issue with their all-you-can-eat offerings.
‘For the record, I only left the IHOP because the nice woman told me the all-you-can-eat deal didn’t apply to the milkshakes,’ the Billy Madison star joked.

The whole IHOP debacle came to light when hostess Dayanna Rodas posted a video on TikTok on Monday.

But she was also clearly tickled by her A-list gaffe.
The video started with shots of Dayanna using a clown make-up filter, before cutting to a security camera shot of Sandler and his daughter interacting with uniform-clad hostess briefly before politely leaving.
She wrote on top: ‘Not realizing it’s Adam Sandler and telling him it’s a 30 minute wait and him ofc leaving because he’s not going to wait 30 minutes for IHOP.’

Many viewers commended both Rodas for not giving the celebrity special treatment, and Sandler for not expecting special treatment and leaving politely.
‘At least he didn’t use his fame to rush anything,’ one person commented while another added, ‘I used to serve him regularly.’
Another person with experience serving Sandler said, ‘Never served a nicer person,’ while another added, ‘And he didn’t pull the celebrity card either.’
Other commenters said the worker did the right thing by treating him just like a ‘regular person.’
