Jennifer Aniston and Drew Barrymore team up to support romcom pal Adam Sandler as he’s honored with the Mark Twain award (and he gets a kiss from his wife, too!)
Jennifer Aniston and Drew Barrymore teamed up to support their frequent leading man Adam Sandler as he was honored with the 24th Annual Mark Twain Prize for American Humor on Sunday at the Kennedy Center in Washington, DC.
Frat Packer, 56 – who sported a chunky beard – cleaned up nicely in a baggy black suit and tie as he accepted the distinguished honor, and the star-studded ceremony will air on CNN next Sunday.
And the San Fernando Valley natives weren’t alone as Adam’s wife, Jacqueline Titone, whom he kissed on the cheek during the onstage celebrations.
Sandler and the 48-year-old Daddy Daughter Trip actress will impressively celebrate their 20th wedding anniversary on June 22nd.
The Brooklyn-born comedian and Jackie are the proud parents of 16-year-old daughter Sadie Madison and 14-year-old daughter Sunny Madeline.

“What a beautiful night! I never expected anything like this. Nobody did that,” Adam said over the brunch earlier, to a roar of laughter.
“But we never thought of that in our lives. But the fact that it happened and I can say that for the rest of my life and I’ve got a lot of people on the street reaching out to me now. They say, “Yes, Mark Twain, Sandman.” I say: “Okay!” I didn’t know that was going to happen, so it’s pretty damn cool.
Meanwhile, 54-year-old Jen and 48-year-old Drew – both dressed in not-so-plain black attire – have each starred in three films with Adam.
Aniston and Sandler worked on Dennis Dugan’s 2011 rom-com Just Go with It, Kyle Newacheck’s 2020 Who-done-it Murder Mystery, and Jeremy Garelick’s sequel Murder Mystery 2, which airs March 31 on Netflix.
In it, the SNL graduate and Friends graduate reprise their roles as NYC cop Nick Spitz and his hairstylist wife Audrey Spitz.
Murder Mystery 2 – filmed in France, Hawaii and the Caribbean – also stars Mark Strong, Mélanie Laurent, Jodie Turner-Smith, Enrique Arce, Tony Goldwyn and Annie Mumolo.
