David Spade Detailed Biography -

Comic brat extraordinaire David Spade was born on July 22, 1964, in Birmingham, Michigan, the youngest of three boys. Raised in Scottsdale, Arizona (from age 4), he graduated with a degree in business at Arizona State University in 1986. A natural prankster most of his life, Spade was pushed immediately into stand-up comedy by friends and appeared in nightclubs and college campuses all over the country. A casting agent saw his routine at "The Improv" in Los Angeles and offered him a mischievous role in the film Police Academy 4: Citizens on Patrol (1987). In 1990, David Spade finally hit the big time as a regular cast member and writer on "Saturday Night Live" (1975). Slow in gaining acceptance on the show, his razor-sharp sarcasm finally caught on by his second season, playing a number of smart aleck characters in a variety of sketches, including a highly disinterested airline steward who bids each passenger adieu with a very sardonic "buh-bye," and an irritating receptionist for Dick Clark Productions who greets each huge celebrity with an unknowing "And you are....?." A master of the put-down, Spade's Hollywood Minute reporter also took cynical advantage of tabloid-worthy stars. He also impersonated such illuminaries as 'Michael J. Fox' , Kurt Cobain and Tom Petty during his tenure. Following his SNL departure after six years, Spade spun off into a slapstick movie career, most noticeably as the scrawny, taciturn foil to SNL's wild and crazy big boy Chris Farley in Tommy Boy (1995) and Black Sheep (1996). The teaming of this unlikely but funny pair ended with Farley's death from a 1997 drug overdose. Since then Spade has appeared in his own lukewarm vehicles, including Joe Dirt (2001) and Dickie Roberts: Former Child Star (2003). More recently, he teamed with former SNL member Rob Schneider on the film Bench Warmers (2006). TV has been more accepting over the years, earning an Emmy nomination as the droll, skirt-chasing secretary Dennis on "Just Shoot Me!" (1997)_ and filling in after the untimely death of John Ritter on ABC's "8 Simple Rules... for Dating My Teenage Daughter" (2002) as Katey Sagal's unprincipled nephew.
