O’Brien, 60, said he is generally unimpressed by people who have become famous in recent years.
‘What I’ve discovered is that people can be absolute icons, can be the biggest stars in the world, but if they came along five years ago I would be thrilled to meet them, but they don’t have that effect on me. O’Brien said.
The talk show host added, “I’m not like, ‘Oh my, oh my God,’ you know, like I would be of everyone I watched growing up.”

Swift, pictured in Brazil last November, remains at the top of pop culture with a huge, loyal fan base and an insatiable public interest in both her work and her personal life.
Sandler, father of daughters Sadie, 17, and Sunny, 15, with wife Jackie, 49, said the Grammy-winning artist, 34, made an exception to the rule.
“You know what – Taylor Swift,” the Brooklyn, New York native told O’Brien. “Because what she means to my kids, I’m a little nervous about it. Just because I don’t want to ruin it for my children.’

Sandler said, “I’m kind of like, ‘Taylor, Taylor,’ like I’m talking a little too loud or something. I’m not staying as cool as I can.’
O’Brien said, ‘Yes, I can see that. Yeah, she’s, I mean, she’s on a whole different level now.”

“People talk about The Beatles and her,” Sandler said. “I mean, man, so many big hits,”
The Wedding Singer star said that “there isn’t a word” of her songs that his daughters “don’t know.”
