“From Saturday Night Live” to “Home Alone 2”, “The Hot Chick”, and “Deuce Bigalow: European Gigolo”, Rob Sch- neider has performed in a school bus full of movies, not to mention an arm sleeve of movies with Adam Sandler.
Performing at the Wilbur Theatre in Boston on Jan. 9, Schneider started his night off talking about the Boston Red Sox.
“Ninety years ago, last month, you guys decided to sell Babe Ruth to the Yan- kees for a musical. Wow, good idea there. It would be like trading Tom Brady for a Jonas Brother to be named later.”
Schneider chuckled about Bill Buckner saying anyone related to him will most likely be in trouble. “Isn’t your aunt re- lated to the grandma of the second cousin of Bill Buckner? Yeah, yeah, right? Well, F* you.”
Talking about TSA Agents in the airport, he said, apparently you don’t have to be Sherlock Holmes to fit this job prescription.
“To be a TSA, all you basically need is a pulse, and the ability to identify bottled water,” said Schneider.
Schneider also joked about his concern for old people taking prescription drugs they see on TV.
“Forget about get- ting kids off drugs, get those seniors off drugs,” joked Schneider.
Explaining how whatever they hear on TV, old people appar- ently have it he rifled off a number of differ- ent potential syndromes.

Lastly, when Schneider is seen in public, he occasion- ally will encounter a fan coming up to him in disbelief that it’s actually him. Reminiscing about his lunch outings, he was once greeted by a fan who admitted he doesn’t usually bother people while they're eating. At this time, Schneider said, "Well, thank you for making an exception in my case."
Nowadays people seem obsessed with celebrities, and want to know what they’re doing all the time.
Schneider said someone came up to him once saying, “You must hate it when people come up to you, huh? You hate it, huh? People coming up to you, and you hate it, right? Huh?”
