What the Hell Happened to Me? is the second studio

Nielsen SoundScan began tracking sales in 1991.[3] The "Excited Southerner" skits on the album are early versions of what would end up being Sandler's character 'Bobby Boucher' in 1998's The Waterboy
.

Sandler went on a 21-day US tour to support the album,[4] complete with a live backing band, including guitarist Waddy Wachtel. The live performance from June 29, 1996, in the style of a rock concert, was aired as an hour long special on HBO, complete with covers of Foghat's "I Just Want to Make Love to You" and Bruce Springsteen's "Out in the Street", as well as a previously unreleased Halloween song, with a special appearance from fellow Saturday Night Live alum Chris Farley, as well as songs from Sandler's tenure at SNL, and cuts from the album and Sandler's first album, They're All Gonna Laugh at You!.[5] The concert has since been uploaded to YouTube, where it has received 156 million views since March 2017. The success of the tour and HBO special also led to Sandler's next album, the mostly-songs What's Your Name?, in 1997.
