Claim: The Waterboy has a cameo from a former chairman.

The Waterboy is a 1998 American sports comedy film directed by Frank Coraci -LRB- who played Robert ` Roberto ' Boucher , Sr. -RRB- , starring Adam Sandler , Kathy Bates , Fairuza Balk , Henry Winkler , Jerry Reed -LRB- his last film role before his death in 2008 -RRB- , Larry Gilliard , Jr. , Blake Clark , Peter Dante and Jonathan Loughran , and produced by Robert Simonds and Jack Giarraputo .   Lynn Swann , Lawrence Taylor , Jimmy Johnson , Bill Cowher , Paul `` The Big Show '' Wight and Rob Schneider have cameo appearances . The movie was extremely profitable , earning $ 161.5 million in North America alone . This was Sandler 's second film to eclipse $ 120 million worldwide in 1998 along with The Wedding Singer .   Adam Sandler 's character , Bobby Boucher -LRB- pronounced -LSB- buː ' ʃeɪ -RSB- -RRB- , bears a strong resemblance to his `` The Excited Southerner '' comedic skits from his album What the Hell Happened to Me ? The portrayal is one of a stereotypical Cajun from the bayous of South Louisiana , not the typical stereotype of a Southerner . He also shares similarities in speech and mannerism to Canteen Boy , a recurring character , also portrayed by Sandler , on Saturday Night Live . Like Bobby , Canteen Boy was a soft-spoken manchild who preferred `` purified water , right out of the old canteen , '' which he always carried with him .
