I saw David Spade at LAX late one night in about 1990. I was trying to get my friends’ attention to point him out, but they were oblivious. He recognized the situation, and gave me a big smile and a head nod. I nodded back and smiled. He seemed genuinely pleased to be recognized. I’ve met a lot of stars since then through work, but that was one of my favorite encounters. Always been a fan.

This guy is golden. One of my favorite comics. Truly one of the best of our day. Lights Out is stellar.

Probably the best celebrity interview I’ve ever seen. Spade is awesome and the interviewer was great too.

I briefly met David Spade in a posh hotel lobby in South Beach Miami in February 2007. My buddies and I were down there for Super Bowl XLI (Colts vs. Bears) hanging out in the lounge area having a drink. We asked David whether he was rooting for the Bears or the Colts. His answer..."Yes". He was very friendly and not at all snooty. Very funny and humble guy.

I never realized just what a likeable character David Spade is. Even though he is incredibly smart and creative he is not an egomaniac. Takes about 10 seconds to realize that he is nothing like the personas he uses in his acts.

I think David's underrated.

He is such an under comedian. I mean it's hard to find a celebrity who can actually be down to earth and not be "on" all the time. I really liked this interview. Gave me a new sense of respect for him and will make me look further in to what he puts out there.

Thank you for sharing David. You are one of my favorites.

He's so fucking charming.

I really like David and always have. I wouldn't mind at all if he did darker or edgier stand-up. He's great...his films aren't masterpieces or anything but he's terrific on TV. Hopefully we see more of him soon. Such a great, REAL guy.

I've seen his stand-up and he's really good; funny and worth the money.

It's so sad that he thinks everyone at snl was way more talented! I never realized how underrated David spade is! I've loved him since I was a little kid

This was such a great interview! this felt like such a genuine version of David Spade and I absolutely loved it... I'm on a David Spade youtube binge this week BTW

David, you're the greatest sit-down comic ever!!! Nobody rules 'the couch' like you. A Larry Sanders-type sow? OMG!!!!! YES!!! YES!!! YES!!!!

Thank you! This has got to be my favorite DS interview. Still camera, great lighting and sound, no audience or guest interruptions. Plus yay, David gets a comfy chair.

There are not many stars that we are going to see this real. we all love him but he sees himself in a whole other light. I have never seen Adam sandler any other star talk like this. David is a real human.

a REAL INTERVIEW? I feel blessed. yes really!

He’s an absolute legend. Coolest dude.

Very kind eyes.... quite attractive. What makes a movie or skit is a writer.... David, you are a true talent. ❤

I love David Spade so much more than Adam Sandler though...

I like Sandler and Will Ferrell and so on but i really think Spade is the funniest man of them all and Lost and found,Dickie Roberts and Joe Dirt is great movies.

Just a big fan and want to thank you for all the great belly laughs over the years. I look forward to more. Great to see you on comedy central. Thanks again man.

Very likable, and more attractive with age.

NO ONE MAKES ME LAUGH 😆 OUT LOUD LIKE DAVID SPADE‼️😂🤣😭💋🙌🎭 ♥️♥️♥️

I have always loved David Spade's humor, whether it was on SNL, Live stand up or his movies. This is the first time I've watched him in an interview where he disects his process and it is fascinating the amount of time and effort that goes into his craft.

I've had a crush on him since when he played a skateboard dude on Police Academy.

I 💗 Him!

I loved him in 8 Simple Rules!

Really liked this. Different.

I've seen a lot of his videos now, and he seems so natural and open that I feel like I could tell people I know him and it wouldn't even be that inaccurate. It would be a total lie but I think you get me.

Hillarious... even when not even trying.

David Spade is a funny dude .... !

Checkout David Spade guesting on Netflix "Norm MacDonald has a Show." He is absolutely hilariousness. The snorting vitamin B bit is Spade at his best. His Netflix comedy movie called "Father of the Year," was pretty good as well.

David spade fake reality show would be AWESOME!

I think David Spade is one of the best comedians and missed him on TV.

Love David Spade !,, So So funny!,, 🤣🤣😂😂😆

That was really great insight David gave. Just like his storytelling he really walks you through. He’s a real talented guy.

I'll watch anything with Spade in it. Definitely one of the funniest and coolest guys.

I love David spade. He tells it how it is, and is really funny too. In this honest interview, he has just explained how to go for what you want in life and how hard it is to say a joke to an audience but they don’t laugh. Just shows that you really have to work to do that job and why it can be depressing even though it looks easy. Glad he worked for it. Comedians work for their job. Show what’s funniest to people then people wonder how they could be depressed as they are alway laughing

I've been watching a lot of David Spade lately and this interview made me a little sad. I think he's far more talented than he gives himself credit for in this video. He really needs to just write some new stuff, get out there more and not worry about what people think.

this is the first David Spade DP video I've actually enjoyed

Man I love him so much and this makes me sad tbh

A sobering look at stand-up comedy! Certainly not for the faint at heart! For me David Spade is at his best being a storyteller and no one made Ellen laugh harder on her show than David Spade! I love his humor and he has great comedic timing! Certainly underrated in the world of comedy but definitely one of the best!

I absolutely LOVE David Spade.

SPADE in the Bunker ❤️🥰❤️ he’s backkkk!!! Love EVERYTHING he’s done!!! We named our black llama Kuzco!!! And our bull Pacha!!!

Brilliant interview!

David Spade, you are much more real and "accessible" than most stars and we love you for that, keep being real

So intelligent.... he makes it seem so natural in his stand up... LOVE this guy

omg! he's awesome.

Wow. Over the past year I keep I've realized how underrated this guy is...and I keep seeing so many use the same word in the comments. This is a great interview, at first I thought he was a little sleepy, then I realized he was doing this as a serious look at his career. Funny throughout, but so interesting to hear his ideas on his life, his career, and how he views the process of being a comedian. I'd sort of thought he was just great at being a sarcastic wiseass, but he really puts so much thought and effort into what works. And comes off as grounded and realistic, not buying into any hype of thinking he's as great as we know he is. Even more respect for him now.

thoughtful interview. spade is great.

Totally! He is just naturally hilarious!🎉❤😂

David has found his rhythm and he is appreciated. He is still humble which I appreciate very much. He's relatable and I think he's hilarious.

David Spade, The Dean Martin of comedy.

David Spade is soo underrated! Those movies he wrote are my fav. Dickie Roberts and Joe Dirt are gold! Ive seen his standup 2x and hes the best comedian I've ever saw and thats not exaggerated either. Been fan since his 1st time on johhny carson. Hes worked hard to be where he is and never gets any credit.

I tuned in to "Just Shoot Me," a TV sitcom, just to get a load of David Spade's antics. I've always thought he was funny.

I love this guy. This interview also has given me more insight into who he really is.

David is so interesting 👌

David Spade's stand up his amazing. The interviewer sounds exactly like Tom Scharpling.

insightful - great

Legend

Backup comedians like backup singers, now there’s a bit.

Great interview.

All them years I never thought I'd fall in love but he's alright

David Spade is funny. His best role is playing the cocky smart-witted straight guy. I loved him in Tommy Boy and Black Sheep. Maybe if they threw in Kevin James or Jonah Hill or Seth Rogan in a movie as the Chris Farley-type character, and made David Spade be his smart-witted cocky side-kick, it could work. Spade really doesn't shine when he's on his own. He's funnier when he's the straight man and has someone who's very eccentric to bounce off of. Spade is like Bud Abbot and Chris Farley was like Lou Costello. Abbot on his own was not a very funny comedian, but when paired with Lou Costello, he was tremendously funny at being the straight man.

Lol to funny. I love your show's my favorite was Black Sheep and Tommy Boy. Thank you for making me laugh so hard love the stand up comedy show my very favorites. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

David, i have seen all your interviews, (stocker much) This is the most honest behind the scenes, love it. Can i get tickets to Ellen Now? LT

Funny guy 👍😅

i can picture him in a variety of roles, maybe someday

You are amazing Spade! Go do a serious roll... if you can't find one, I'll write one for you... ;-)

David is getting hotter as he gets older

I think David Spade would look very handsome with red, curly hair! Wow!

Merry Christmas to you! Hat Police...... Charlie in Michigan! Dec.25; 2020!

Hermoso

Too short. That's a compliment, too.

I always thought he was amazing.

Funny dude

i am so obsessed w him rn, own tommy boy and black sheep on vhs lol so i knew he was funny from just shoot me, and rules of engagement but wow watchin alot of his talk show appearances lately since seeing his new show lights out... hes so genuine, so cool, sofa king funny, and has me cryin laffin when he tells a story true or made up, omg hes has ya rollin trust n belv, lmaoooooo love u spade, ur gone kid, xojodia, grays mom, hey, call me baahahahaha lol

There needs to be a David Spade show about his Arizona childhood….and somehow get him in it a lot

❤

I 💖 David Spade. ...he'll see this right? He seems like he might read comments. David? 😂😄 Big fan.

So funny. I think I've peed my pants 😗

10:17 Throwing it all away, a Phil Collins/Genesis reference?

Eggs scrambled or fried....and .....go!

Very smart small words... Why have you forgotten where you’re at and where you came from just because the last class y’all standard round on whatever you doing get back into coming fillet feel it feel it David

Spade's greatest acting was in a film where C. Farley damaged Spade's blue dodge Spade comes up to the car takes his finger and shines the door handle

I miss his hair longer and on the sides :') as he used to have it

Always liked Spade, though showbiz talk bores. Kudos to the interviewer for some clever stuff. Jon Lovitz in the basement. Back-up comedians. Other remarks. Good stuff from both.

Hey Spade, is that a stack of TigerBeat behind you there?

His hair looks better come back I think.

Shot in L.A, June 2104??? Shit, I've been warped into time!!! (°_°')

It would be so cool hanging out doing comedy just left my friends told him to do the Californians, practice practice practice.

David... just ride along with your singing, guitar playing, musician type buddies if you need a side trip away from writing and add a comedic role to the tour. While everyone is singing and playing, you can be ad-libbing on stage. I am heavily involved in music and a comedic act with the band would sell out better than just one actor or comedian on stage. Just think about it :)

17:22 hes absolutely right about Britney , since her comeback she stands dances i9n place only instead of really dancing like she used to. Britneys still awesome but weird she doesnt dance much anymore very much seemingly to me.

AYeah I know you guys that might be from the Midwest where is Emmanuel friends get her we laughed our asses off I’ve left a card on my face my pants I know who you are you don’t know me but we fucking love you man don’t lie I actually feel it which was amazing I love you just as a person I like it changed as shit looks better and I get back from Bud and I’m a cow many person too but you got a feeling sweetheart what a Christian he felt it

Remember what I learned was timing

What did Chris do he sells it and you’re his best friend in the whole world that’s getting together theo Van

2104? I will assume you meant 2014.

david, dont underestimate our demand for you, conversely, dont forget, the majority of america is poor

David is an LA dude with affluenza and hangs out with Ellen and other A listers cuz he is an A lister and also charismatic, smart and cleverly and spontaneously funny. Oh and he tries to sober his buddy Heather Locklear up which either means he is loyal or into the sauce with her. Luv him.
