David Spade November 25, 2011

From “SNL”, “Rules of Engagement”, “Just Shoot Me” & “Tommy Boy”

Spade and his family moved to Scottsdale, Arizona, at the age of 4, where he recalls keeping a twice-weekly appointment to be beaten up by the other kids at elementary school. .He was one of six comics showcased on HBO's “13th Annual Young Comedians Show”. The show was hosted by Dennis Miller, who eventually helped Spade secure a role on “Saturday Night Live” . It was during his early years on Saturday Night Live that Spade befriended fellow comedian Chris Farley. Their close friendship offstage made for great chemistry in front of the camera, earning them larger roles on the series. After a few bit parts in forgettable films, “Saturday Night Live” producer Lorne Michaels got the idea to put Spade and Farley together on the big screen, capitalizing on the formula Spade called, "the age-old secret of fatty and skinny." Michaels produced “Tommy Boy” as a vehicle for Farley, with Spade serving as straightman. Spade teamed with Farley again for “Black Sheep”, and made his exit from “Saturday Night Live”. He also signed on as snide assistant Dennis Finch on the NBC comedy series, “Just Shoot Me”.
