“Because the scene you’re doing is with so many great golfers.
“It’s going to be amazing. You’re going to be funny as hell.”

“Oh yeah,” Kelce said.
Kelce revealed in May that he was hoping to land a cameo in the movie.
And Sandler disclosed that he originally wrote a part specifically for the Chiefs star to play Gilmore’s son in the sequel to the popular 1996 movie.
But now it appears that Kelce will play himself in the sequel.

“The whole thing was to get to hang out with Travis,” Sandler joked to the Kelce brothers.
“That’s why we put it together.”
He added: “We were talking about you playing my son while we were writing it.
“Literally like six months ago, we were like, ‘Imagine if Travis was my first baby, how funny that would be? Just a bada**.'”
Kelce then revealed that after he heard Sandler speak about the sequel on The Tonight Show, he went out to practice the iconic Happy Gilmore golf swing.
“I think I got the swing down,” Kelce said.
“I was out there the other day…I was like, ‘I just got to do a ceremonial one.’
“And I f***king ripped it. It felt so good.”

The Kansas City Chiefs tight end plans to become a “heavyweight” figure in music and entertainment.
Kelce has seen his star power rise after going public with his girlfriend Taylor Swift last summer.
The 34-year-old has now been cast in the new horror series Grotesquerie.
Directed by American Horror Story creator Ryan Murphy, the drama is set to land on FX this fall.
Kelce will appear in the show alongside Niecy Nash-Betts, Courtney B. Vance, and Lesley Manville.
In August, Adam Sandler confirmed Travis will make a cameo in his upcoming Happy Gilmore sequel.
The news comes after Travis previously showed interest in appearing in a possible reboot.
Sandler then gave some more teasers about the movie, which is poised to begin filming.
“The movie itself picks up from an older guy who’s played golf a long time,” he said.
“Some stuff goes on in his life. He’s different…he’s a bit of a mess when you meet Happy.
“And then try to get his life cooking again.
“I think it’s cool. We’re going to try to make you laugh the entire time but it’s got a good vibe to it.”
Jason is confident the movie will be a huge success.

In a growing entertainment career, Kelce is starring in the FX TV show Grotesquerie, and he is also hosting new game show Are You Smarter Than A Celebrity?
Elsewhere on the podcast, Kelce joked that Sandler had him “sweating” with his gushing praise for Taylor Swift.
