David Spade
<< Previous Cast | Next Cast >> See All Cast
The youngest of three boys, David Wayne Spade was born in 1964 in Michigan, but grew up in Scottsdale, Arizona. Although he graduated college with a business degree, his friends saw that he was a natural-born comic and encouraged him to perform at local clubs. Spade took their advice and began playing to audiences at comedy clubs around the country. An SNL rep caught his act in Los Angeles, and in 1990 he came to New York to join the cast.

After a shaky first season, his snarky, bratty humor became a huge hit with audiences, who especially loved to see him perform with pal Chris Farley during the course of his six-year run on the show; Farley and Spade eventually made several movies together.

Spade enjoyed a reasonably successful movie career after leaving the show, but it was on TV that he truly excelled. For six seasons, he played a smart-aleck receptionist opposite actor George Segal on NBC's "Just Shoot Me!" More recently, he signed on to appear on the sitcom "8 Simple Rules for Dating My Teenage Daughter." Spade continues to work in the movies and also to lend his voice to the occasional animated feature, most notably Disney's "The Emperor's New Groove."
