Adam Sandler started out as a stand-up comedian. He had a distinctive "style" that I personally thought was funny, but a lot of people didn't get. It obviously served a purpose though as it got him a gig on an MTV game show (ironically called Remote Control), that led to Saturday Night Live, and then to the movies. He seems to be one of those people that are more comfortable performing in front of a camera or an audience than talking one on one in person.
