David Spade on his Chemistry with Chris Farley, Creating Tommy Boy, & the Deal With SNL 

David Spade never got enough credit for his sarcastic comedy he is hilarious

As a fellow 34yr old dude, I can vouch that Tommy Boy is one of “our” movies. Perfect timing, helped shape our senses of humor.

"You guys have chemistry?" "I'll see it towards the end I'm sure" Lol

David Spade will always be my Emperor.

David Spade is such a great laid-back guy. I can see why the whole SNL crew loved him so much

The "Wisconsin Dundee" line is one of the funniest things I've ever heard.

Spades one of those dudes you can listen to in endless interviews, he always has a story and tells it in a humble detailed manner.

I'm here a bit late but as a 20 year old "kid' Chris Farley and Tommy Boy is the most iconic comedy from my childhood that I return to all the time. I truly believe that my sense of humor comes from Chris and Tommy boy. Chris was one of a kind with so much potential that he barely got to show. RIP to a true legend.

I’m 13 and thankfully my parents educated me on comedy’s! Chris Farley and John Candy and John Belushi have always been big heroes of mine! Miss them all so much. ❤️❤️

I'm 19 and I maintain that Tommy Boy is my all-time favorite movie (Blacksheep's great, too!) I'll never forget how Chris had me rolling on my couch as a little kid, crying and struggling to breathe from laughter. It really sucks he died 3 years before I was born, I wish I was around and I wish he was still around

David Spade is still very underrated. He’s hilarious and so relatable. They should’ve done so many more Hollywood minute sketches. Or Joe Dirt gets abducted. 😂

As a kid born in 94 spade and farley definitely shapped my sense of humor... wish i could have enjoyed farley more...

No many how many times I watch Tommy boy I piss myself laughing. Goat.

I’m 26 now, and I grew up watching all these guys. Tommy Boy, Black Sheep, Beverly Hills Ninja, SNL, all the great 90s comedy. It makes me so sad to know that the current generation will most likely never know about these movies or the great comics such as Chris Farley

Tommy boy is the 90s trains plains and automobiles it's the best .

Wish they had someone like Spade running SNL

Tommy Boy was a favorite of mine, Farleys a damn legend

Mcdonald's on wheels spade kills me with his sarcastic jokes

Black Sheep was great and underrated

I think his character on Rules of Engagement, Russel, was the best. Such an underrated show.

I can listen to David Spade talk about Farley all day

David is a comedic treasure and you guys made him shine. Brilliant Job Big Cat and PFT. I'm from Madison and Farley is... well he's Farley. A legend. I've learned a lot about him over the years and interviews with Spade were getting redundant until this one. Thanks for unearthing some new highlights both about Chris and SNL.

“An MRI with wings” lol

I’m 20 and I remember watching tommy boy on tape around 10 or so and I loved it

As a 20 year old, I have seen it. And it was my grandpas favorite movie. Much love.

Always admired Spade ♠️ Smooth comic delivery, and genuinely funny deeply cutting sarcasm.

i always loved watching those 2. it's a good thing DVDs came along because if we were still in the days of VHS.............i would have wore the tapes of Tommy Boy and Black Sheep completely in two.

Love David Spade........and Farley. "Fat guy in a little coat".

Born in 94. I remember my dad got me Beverley hills ninja on VHS for christmas when i was 6. Im not sure where it ranks among his all time list but 6 year old me laughed my ass off. I immeidately started picking my dads brain about chris Farley and he inevitably got to the point where he told me he had passed away. And just fucking wailing. Simultaneously my favourite and least favourite christmas

I am 17 almost 18 and I fucking love Tommy boy and Black sheep 🖤 R.I.P Chris Farley🙏🏻❤️

Tommy boy was the go to movie and still is for a great example of teamwork!

I love how after all these years spade can still tell the best stories about Farley miss the big man always my favorite comedian

The dynamic between dave and chris is interesting to see. They have such different ways of expressing themselves and chris really brings him out of his comfort zone cause farley had no limits to the ways he'd try to get a laugh.

The cabin when the rock knocks it off the foundation and then the wind tears the roof off. That shit to this day cracks me up laughing. I got dibs on top bunk. Hows the weather up there buddy?

As a 14 year old and herring a 20 year old doesn’t know who Chris was that’s sad to me

The stories not what’s important. It’s the journey of two people who genuinely work together well. Even when they’re pissed at each other.

35 here. Makes me sad to think I've outlived the age chris was when he died just makes me realise how young he was

I saw David spade while backstage at James corden show couple years ago. Seems cool. I didn’t know he was shorter than me. I’m 5’8

Great interview!! Love David Spade! Gotta say I love this interviewer too! Passionate about the guest, kind, and well informed. You can also tell mr spade is really comfortable!!!! Thank you for this great interview!

As a 43 year old man I can vouch that I have seen every Chris Farley and David Spade skit and movie. I have a really close friend that moved across the US from CA to Kentucky... I feel like our humor is similar to Farely and spade.... Maybe cause they are some of our favorite actors or maybe cause we have had hard lives and REALLY appreciate good humor.

Great stories. Still watch all these movies.

Tommy boy is the best comedy since planes, trains and automobiles.. not just funny as hell but what a great film

I'm a 20 year old girl and I love Chris Farley. I watch his skits alot and I love Tommy Boy and Black Sheep and Cone Heads.

The saddest story I ever heard Spade tell about SNL and Carvey just being handed shit because he was Carvey (no fault to him, funny AF) was when Michael J. Fox was hosting. Spade told the writer's room he did a good impression of Fox. Lorne asks Dana, "how about you?", Dana says he didn't do one, then Lorne says to Spade "show Dana how to do it". There's a video here of Spade hosting an award show doing the impression with Fox in the audience, the slight stammer, the nervous Peter Brady voice crack, just every inflection is 100% perfect ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-4bIhkOy5GXo.html

Aside from Norm, Spade is the quickest on his feet of any comedian.

I use to watch Tommy Boy all the time in the early 2000's on VHS and remember when it first came out on DVD. Chris Farley was so funny on SNL and the movies he starred in .

We definitely could have outsketched Yugoslavia.

O HOW YOU ARE MISSED CHRIS !!!!!

Bro im 22 and i fucking love farley tommy boy and black sheep beverly hills ninja all of his movies i watched with my dad as a kid

Can’t believe they threw away 40 pages for “Black Sheep” great underrated comedy

I always looked forward to David Spade's "Hollywood Minute" segment on Weekend Update.

I appreciate David Spades humor, he’s a naturally hilarious guy.

My daddy was about 23 when tommy boy came out. Chris Farley was a big hero or is. When I was growing up my dad was the funniest guy I knew. He had a cadence and sense of timing that was unmatched, I would wheeze laugh everyday. When I was about 7 and my brother about 5 we all sat down and watched Tommy boy. It became our movie. We watched it probably a few hundred times. Whenever we would get bored we would just re-enact scenes. It was so automatic, we’d be sitting waiting somewhere and one of us would say a characters line and the other two would take over for the other characters and it used to make for so many laughs. I miss him so much. I wish I saw him more before he passed. You never know when your hero’s will go. Don’t let time pass you by

Love this

I like that David knows to pronounce Toronto as, Torono. Any Torontonian knows what I'm talking about

Spade's hair is pretty glorious. Dude's almost 60 and his hair is 25.

When Spade was on SNL with Carvey, Meyers, Farley, Neelan and all the others, that was the BEST of it. There has never been a funnier time for that show.

Awesome to see PFT supporting a Gaslight shirt.

*Spades one of my favorite people. Thanks for making me laugh man!*

That's an awesome story. Godless. I always look forward to David Spade stories.

I quote Tommy boy to this day.

I favorite is Russell from rules of engagement

Out sketched Yugoslavia killed me

I need to find those Mic booms.

an MRI with wings is a great description

Gaslight shirt! Yes!

MRI WITH WINGS OMFG IM DEAD

I have Tommy Boy and Black Sheep on a 1 disc collection the i bought like 15 years ago.

Idk if this help anyones feelings but I was born in 95. Tommy boy came out in 97. I grew up watching Tommy boy and it's just as funny when I was 5 as it is as a 26 year old. I loved Tommy boy and black sheep. I'm sad that Chris Farley is gone, and I didn't even see his career progress. He was gone by the time I was 2-3

That Gaslight Anthem shirt thoooo

I’m 19 and I fucking LOVE tommy boy!

Russell, Rules of Engagement.

I’m 17 and I’ve known The Great Chris Farley since I could walk

Am I the only one who mixes up Black Sheep and Tommy Boy like it’s all one movie 🤷‍♂️

“Noo, get your edamame.” 😎

32 and tommy boy still makes me laugh and cry.

Gap girls was epic.... Because I use to work at the Gap 😂💯😂

Its craziest no matter how far u make it in hollywood ppl still will bring up chris farley to him

Wow great to know that Chris Farley loved McDonald's just like me RIP Chris your still missed to this day 😮😃🙏🏻😂

Hold strong little root....

Luv David. Him and Dana Carvey have a podcast now called Fly on the Wall. It's really good.

We can't forget about black sheep…. It's also a classic

90 to 95, maybe 97 was the cast, next 1 wasnt bad but these boys and gals cooked. Being 18 to 26 maybe is part of it, nah they killed it....

Bought Tommy Boy on Itunes. I hope David got a cut

"You guys have chemistry?"

Lost and found and senseless was cool movies

MRI with wings

Freakin love black sheep. ROOOOO ADS

He’s like an old chad

I wonder if he ever gets tired of these questions. Gotta be hard to answer these all the time with enthusiasm

Daehvid. Makin statements, on a radio show. Dave, the Daveanator, being honest, yet huuumble. -Pauly Shore, early/mid 90s

I was 12 when I watched it I'm 18 now

My 10 year old daughter's favorite movie is Tommy boy.

Gap girls...lol😂
