The 52-year-old comedian made the revelation while appearing with Jennifer Aniston, 50, on Jimmy Kimmel Live during a NBA Finals special episode.
Sandler told Jimmy, 51, that the bat mitzvah for his 13-year-old daughter Sadie was ‘a big deal’ and all their friends were coming.

‘And I was like, I …I didn’t even know why I did this, but I said, ”I’d love to do something special for my daughter, I love her so much and blah, blah, blah. So I text, …you know what I mean, everybody loves their daughter, but whatever,’ he said as the audience giggled.
Sandler said he was driving in town and for some reason texted Levine, 40.
‘And I text him, ”I’m sorry to do this to you, my kid’s getting bat mitzvahed Saturday night. Would you mind coming and singing a few tunes? It would be incredible.” But I don’t know why I did it. Then you see the dot dot dot immediately. I’m like, he got it and he’s about to say something,’ Sandler continued.
He said that Levine texted back that he couldn’t say no to him and asked for the location.
