With a comedy tour and a couple of new movies, comedian Rob Schneider has a lot on his agenda.
"I am grateful to be this busy at my age," Rob, 60, tells Closer.
"I just did a show in Las Vegas. There are so many performers in town - it's such a vibrant place for live performance. So if I can sell out here, which I did, that's a big accomplishment." In recent years, Rob has worked with his family, too. He and his wife, Patricia, collaborated on Amor es Amor, a film available on Paramount+. "It's a crazy, goofy comedy written by my wife - and the only film I've ever done in Spanish," he says.
Rob also co-starred with his 11-year-old daughter, Miranda, in Daddy Daughter Trip, available on Prime Video. "She's really a natural," he says with pride. "It's going to be a good memory for her when she gets older."
When did you first realize you were funny?
I just remember being in school with the kids. I was nervous, and I would kind of say the wrong words - English was not my mother's first language. So there was a little hesitancy. I just felt kids laughing at that.
They thought I was trying to be funny, and I thought, I can either fight this and feel bad about it or go with it. So I did.
What makes you laugh?
Silly. Silly is king. That's the real thing to me. The sillier the better.
