May they all Rest In Peace.

You forgot about Ellen Albertini Dow, the rapping granny from “The Wedding Singer.” She passed away in 2015 at 101 years old.

[@juan2three6]

NORM MCDONALD!?

[@NurseKathyAndTheLaw]

I really am a nurse. The Coronary Artery Disease attributed to the death of the 7 ft tall actor would likely be the cause of his reported Heart Attack or Myocardial Infarction. So I’m certain you have those facts correct. For what that’s worth. Great video.

[@user-qr2vo8pc9b]

It sounds like his movies are deadly...

[@gem3506]

When Chris Farley passed I away, my heart dropped. I read that he literally paid prostitutes to have the company of a woman, probably one to use with as well. I would've been his friend from the heart, not money. Too early, always will be remembered 💕

[@rerun5150]

You forgot a major one, Burt Reynolds starred with Sandler in The Longest Yard....kind of a tie in with Jerry Reed.

[@TheKeebster1]

The title of this video is "Actors In Adam Sandler Movies YOU MAY NOT KNOW ARE DEAD." Everyone knows Burt Reynolds died. And by that same token, Chris Farley probably shouldn't have been on this list.

[@DaveBuildsIt]

Burt Reynolds was a big miss. I thought he was pretty great in both the original The Longest Yard and in Sandler's reimaging.

[@JoseSantos-gl3vk]

@@TheKeebster1 or Ray Liota cuz he was super famous n everyone felt that one when the news broke..

[@_FJB_]

What about the grandmother from happy Gilmore or the older dude the befriend in the bar in the wedding singer that tries to help fight. Also the whole O'Doyle family that went off the cliff?

[@danielwebster8019]

His dad in billy Madison.

[@KadeemG61]

Can’t believe it’s been nearly 25 years since Chris Farley passed away way too soon. He was always funny on SNL (most notably, the Chippendales sketch with Patrick Swayze).

[@BrianaCunningham]

And the living in a van down by the river rant 😂

[@carolharris2357]

That was gold.

[@leesashriber5097]

Right? Seems like just yesterday. He was so funny. We've lost a lot of great comedians and sadly most were all avoidable. 🕊️🙏❤️

[@MargueriteFairProductions]

He was a funny man.

[@REEK206NW]

Columbian crystals. That was hilarious

[@rare.phukin.spotted.halibut]

Had no idea Jerry Reed, was THAT Jerry Reed! I remember him as a celebrity guest on a Scooby-Doo episode. Such a talent. Such a loss!

[@mrsasshole]

Jerry was just a freaking marvel. So much talent it was absurd. Miss him :(

[@Grinlathak]

He also cut a couple of albums with Chet Atkins.

[@GoodBoyOskie]

I met Kiel once. He was so kind to my son, who was only 5 at the time. He was well liked by his neighbors in Coarsegold, where we met him.

[@mskrisclark684]

You forgot the lady who played his Grandmother in Happy Gilmore

[@ACKamikaze]

Several others, like Burt Reynolds, Norm MacDonald Rodney Dangerfield and Tiny Lister!

[@souperstar7050]

Maybe for a volume 2

[@TheKeebster1]

The title is "you may not know are dead." Not "every famous person he's ever worked with that is dead."

[@princessem1981]

@@TheKeebster1 I feel like we knew several of these people are dead...

[@barkboingfloom]

@@TheKeebster1 Who didn't know Chris Fairly was dead though?

[@fernandorios474]

We all saw Cameron grow up in front of our eyes

[@kencoakley3959]

Conchata Ferrell started out as a dramatic actress. I remember her starring in a great movie called Heartland with Rip Torn. I was stunned when I saw her on Two And A Half Men.

[@1FokkerAce]

Something tells me Chris Farley would be the funniest person all of us would have met... if we had ever had the pleasure to meet him. RIP.

[@ghostface3655]

Missed Norm on this one, tha KS gor the video, may they all rest in peace.....🙏

[@plkb9541]

God damn. I feel for Sandler. He's lost so many friends and co-stars.

[@nothingshouldbewithouteffort]

Growing older pretty much is having to watch all those around us die in succession. 😑

[@Momusinterra]

All of them better than him.

[@kingoliver7617]

RIP to all the funny actors and actresses on this video they all made the world laugh with joy

[@BrianaCunningham]

Cloris was a legend 100%

[@short11000]

These are wonderful tributes.👏

[@blorac9869]

Cloris Leachman was in Scouts Guide for the Zombie Apocalypse and was priceless! A must see!

[@MostDopeLarry]

Dude i forgot about that movie!!! Shit was dope😂😂😂

[@r3dragon795]

Each Adam's movie are unique,funny and give a life lesson with the powerfull knowledge of Mr. Sandler. His movies teach me how becoming a good human the values , the morality the thought the answer the attitude. My favorite Billy Madisson , little Nicky Happy Gilmore Big Daddy Longest Yard weeding singer mr Deeds 50 first date . No one will be the funniest actor like him . Legend with his movie i artefacts

[@Coolyguy27]

Clovis Leachman was a icon when it came to comedy. Mary Tyler Moore. Then her own spin-off . But when I think of her my mind goes strait to ( PUT THE CANDLE BACK ) lol Since I was a kid she was the funniest female comedian out there. R.I.P

[@ardee21]

Aww, you guys missed the sweet old rapping lady in The Wedding Singer.

[@tiffanys9878]

The meatball lady? Lol

[@stormshadow9824]

That was a big John Candy fan and when he passed away they quickly replaced him with Chris Farley so it took me a long time to actually to get to like the guy but eventually I came around I miss him too

[@countrygirlbeth1]

The song for Chris makes me cry every time

[@aubrey1633]

Ray Liotta still hurts. Such an incredible actor. So handsome 😍. Omg and Norm. He got me into snl. Chris was taken far too soon. I cried when I first heard Sandlers song about him.

[@sphanlon1]

Charlotte Rae (Mrs Garrett form Facts of Life) was in Don't Mess with the Zohan. I think she also fits the "might not know they're dead" qualification.

[@stevieray7829]

great clip

[@RowanWarren78]

Alexis was hilarious as George in The Wedding Singer.

[@andeeharry]

I didn't know some of these passed....thanks for mentioning this.

[@vesh]

I never fail to learn something from these videos

[@horror_fam0847]

You forgot a couple of other actors who were in Adam Sandler's movies, Burt Reynolds and Norm Macdonald.

[@princessem1981]

Yeah they literally had a clip with Norm so I assumed he would be on the list...

[@ARCADE_EXE]

two Great people. we will remember them fondly

[@Michelle-DiPalo]

Love you mentioning them together since Burt Reynolds was one of Norms most famous parodies on SNL.

[@popculturedad8128]

No Norm Macdonald, Rodney Dangerfield or Tiny Lister?

[@mikeyfn-a6684]

RIP to Alexis Arquette for sure! 🙌 Oh and Liota was absolutely a shock. I remember someone actually took away from the news the day it happened.

[@nothingshouldbewithouteffort]

As a teen I had such a crush on Alexis. 🤍

[@Matt_tenny92]

Rest in peace to all these amazing talented actors and actresses

[@doctorawesomeness1997]

I remember Jerry Reed appeared in an episode of The New Scooby-Doo Movies.

Did you really forget Norm McDonald?

[@thudor1]

Richard Kiel had acromegalic gigantism. His death was probably due to an enlarged heart.

[@supersayayinclark]

This one hit hard... 😢

[@RebeLeigh]

You forgot to mention that Conchatta had her own series called Hot L(Hotel) Balitimore. I loved everything she did but that was my favorite!

this made me really sad.... gee thanks looper.....

[@nakimaplayer4205]

Omg Ray Liotta 🥺 I did not know RIP I remember when I seen "Unlawful Entry" when I was younger and when I tell you I was scared of him in Real Life idk why but then I grew to love and know the difference in acting 🥴🤣🤣RIP Liotta great guy

[@feliciajenkins5041]

Chris Farley and Adam Sandler in the Herilhy Boy sketches are a scream 😅🤣😅

[@jamesletts2209]

I had no idea Conchata Ferrell had passed away 😕 She was hilarious in two and a half men

[@MC2RD]

Just How can you mention Jerry Reed, and not mention Burt Reynolds? Also Norm MacDonald, Darren McGavin, and Theresa Merritt in Billy Madison. he worked with Larry Sanders too. not in a movie though

[@gopatriots31]

Ahh man Chris Farley was the best. I started treaeibg up when they talked about him. Ugh he was so funny.

[@arinerm1331]

Sandler was so moved by some of these actors' deaths that he typed some letters on a screen and tapped a button to send them. What a sacrifice.
