David Spade Talks SNL, Chris Farley & Norm Macdonald (FULL EPISODE) | Conan O'Brien Needs A Friend

[Music]. Hey guys, my name's David Spade and I. feel somewhat sick about being. just more like bad tummy about being. Conan's friend, you know. Uh. I think I've always had that effect on. you. No, maybe I'll be I'll change to. honored. Too late. I like what you had. Okay. [Music]. Okay. Hit it. Friendship is a good thing. Quiet.

God, it's a miserable life. It's a miserable. life. The whole rhythm of friendship is a good. thing. Quiet. Oh god. It's so insane. Okay, here we go. Hey there. Welcome to Conor O'Brien. Needs a Friend joined by Sonamasia. Hi. and uh Matt Gorley. And I had.

something kind of sweet and uplifting to. talk about. Oh, my wife noticed this. Suspicious. I know. this is even I'm suspicious, but uh of. course the the wildfires occurred. Uh. and Sona, uh you lost your home. It was. terrible. Oh my god. What? What's the matter? I just went She gone. She gone like a 70s yacht rock. I know. Well, but you're you're processing it, but it was devastating. And we've talked. about it here. And um the fire came.

right as I've said to people, I was we. were crazily lucky. The fire came. to the back of our yard to the edge of. our yard and stopped and burned some. stuff uh on the edge of our property. So. there's um and and and there was smoke. damage, but we were overwhelmingly. crazily lucky. And I'm back living in. the house now. Liza noticed that we had these fruit.

trees, this little small area of fruit. trees in the backyard, and all of them burned and are like. charred and had to be cut down and taken. away except one. Yeah. The pomegranate tree. M. that your parents gifted me. Yeah. Uh and Liza back when. you guys hosted our engagement party. That's right. With just 200 of our closest friends and.

family. No joke. It was huge. Yeah. We had a big uh party in the. backyard uh for your for your intax. engagement and a bunch of uh. I mean obviously your friends and your. family came and it was I mean I didn't. think I was getting a gift cuz that. wasn't the point of it but your parents. brought. Yeah. this pomegranate tree and we planted it. along with all the other trees and it. kind of doesn't make sense because all. the other trees burned and there's not a. really good reason why this tree didn't.

burn. Uh yes there is. which is say. well pomegranates represent prosperity. Mhm. So. obviously. and it's part of I mean. it's the Armenian voodoo that my mom put. into the tree. It's protecting it. protected your house. That's why it's. fine. You're welcome. Did you have a pomegranate tree in your. Did your parents give you one for your. house? I had that question as well. I did. The tree survived. So she wait a minute. Okay. But wait,

did your pomegranate tree survive? It did survive, actually. It didn't save the house. No, no, it didn't serve. Maybe it just didn't know which house it. was supposed to be guarding. It did protect the yoga studio that my. neighbors built. the closest structure to it. You're You probably faced the tree. wrong, and it probably misunderstood. like a well-intentioned dog. Don't worry, I saved the yoga studio, you idiot. Oh my god. Wait. Um, I have to say, uh,

because I've traveled to Armenia with. you. Yeah. Pomegranate. Pomegranates and the. pomegranate tree. It's like it is a very. important part of Armenian culture. Yeah. It's got a lot of symbolism to it. It's very It's a very important fruit in. our culture. And I think that and also. it's not just it didn't just survive. It's green and lush. Yes. I have I mean ours is in bloom. It's spectacular looking as if nothing. happened. Surrounded by stumps. Yeah. And I thought that was very cool.

You now have to believe in the Armenian. I know we've talked about the like. witchcraft my mom does and the things. that she believes in. You have to admit. that there's some truth something. I never I don't think I was a big denier. of uh the power. Yes, you were. What do you mean? When my mom buried a baby doll in the. front yard just said buried a baby. Yeah. But she's like, "Oh my god, buried a doll in the front yard." You. laughed about it. But wait, what was that for? I can't.

remember. For me to have babies. And guess what? It worked. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Through science. That now you had. I'm sure my fertility doctors may have. had something. You had twins. Did she bury one baby or. two babies? She buried one. But it's not. like. Was it a when you was it a real. realistic plastic baby doll or was it. like a Ken doll or was it a. No, it was like this doll I actually had. when I was a kid. And it's gender. neutral, too. It doesn't have any.

That's weird. The the baby doll didn't. have a big swinging dick. When shopping for baby dolls, I like one. with a big. How ever did she find one like that? That wow that's a real. those are hard to find these days. Yeah. Just insane. your logic today, Sona. I don't know. This doll poops, it wets, it cries, and. it becomes massively erect and it stars.

in its own eight series skinnax after. dark. Oh, come on. Well, um, all I'm. Yeah. All you're saying it's got a. little weird It's got a little weird. mustache. 70s mustache. No, it's gender neutral. So, it didn't. it didn't look like a girl. It doesn't. look like a boy. She buried it and then. I got pregnant, right? With Yes. the help of fertility doctors. But still, I am not someone who I say if it's. working for you, go with it. And and I.

don't pretend to know the answers. I. really don't. And so, I'm. and I was very impressed and I have been. very impressed by Armenians and by your. country. And I'm just like, you guys. have this very strong spirit and I think. yeah, I don't I I wouldn't I would give. it up for any power that you guys have. And this tree. surviving, I have to say it's a powerful. thing to see. My parents I sent them a picture of it. cuz Liza sent me a picture of the tree. and it's it's surrounded by just charred.

Yeah. stuff. And uh they were really touched. and happy that it survived. It was they. were really really happy. And my mom was. not surprised by the way. She kind of. knew. I don't mean to ruin the moment, but I'm. just thinking of your mom burying a baby. doll with a huge plastic dick. and and the dick is sticking out of the. soil. and then. she buried it 6 feet under, but still. the dick is coming out and then it. flowers. and a pomegranate comes out the tip of.

the dick. Yeah. Yes. Yes. Oh my god. and your and your mom just. turns to a camera and goes, "It's the. power of Armenia.". Well, anyway, we've ruined another. episode of Conrian before it even. started. Needs a friend. All right. My guest. today is a hilarious comedian and a very. old uh friend of mine. His latest. stand-up special, David Spade, Dandelion, is available for streaming uh.

on Prime Video. I am thrilled he's here. today. I really do love hanging with. this guy, David Spade. Welcome. I think you should roll right when. people walk in because then you see the. real and then when I drop my. act and I start being nice to everyone. for the cameras. I'm rolling. Rolling now. Oh, it is okay. No, the whole thing where you said. and where you talk about how. you hate Italians.

I said that. How do you hate Italian? I said it on the stairs. It doesn't. count. We are on our way in. Thanks for being here. Mhm. Do you have like a beginning or is. this the beginning? Whenever you're. ready. I've seen the show a million times. I'm clear. I love that when you walked. in, they said you said, "Which one's. Conan?". No, I know. I knew you're tall. Oh, this. one with hidden cameras. Yeah, we have. Dana told me all about it. Oh, you got the back to look out for. Well, I want to mention first of all, you and Dana.

do a great podcast, fly on the wall. Thank you. Uh, you guys get all the backstage dirt. on what's going on at SNL over the. years. Plus, you talked to other people. as well. Yeah, we sort of watered down. We sort. of ran through. you got through everybody. You know, once you had talked to Jim Brewer six. times, you knew it was you had to move. on. Gervitz is always like, you haven't. scratched the surface. Just there's. another 900 cast. go. Yeah, but Bill. Squankmire from 1988, it just at a. certain point we realized I guess people.

do like stars. That's the sad part. Mark Gervitz, by the way, if you don't. know, he's been a manager at Brilstein. for I think 75 years. 70 to 100 years. 70 to 100 years. Um he used to represent. Al Jolson. Uh it's a funny reference, so. you should look it up. They know he's old. Yeah. Thank you. Hey, Conan likes money. I guess you. don't like money. So he tells me, "You want to do a gig in. Ottawa tomorrow?" I go, "Tomorrow?" "Ah, sorry. I'll call Dana. He likes money.". That's what Gervet says to you.

So he will give you about not. taking a gig because he says that Dana. will take the gig. Yeah. And he just does it to make you. feel bad. Yeah. Because they sit there in their office. with their feet up and they get 10% of. whatever. So they It's better if you. just say yes. They hang up the phone and. go, "Oh, he's on three flights to Ottawa. and I make money." So it's better if you. say yes at the end of the day. Oh, they like a yes. Yeah, they like a Yes. And they don't care. what you go through. Not Not at all. Pretty good gig. It's an Anchorage. You might like Anchorage. Somebody hates Alaska.

I don't hate a lot. I I think it's far. It's okay. I'll break it to Alaska. They're your fans. This is what it's like uh you know. having a manager you know there it's. I but I have I have to say I've had the. same guy since uh day one you know when. I got out here. I will tell you a quick story that uh do. we have an hour? This is six hours. Okay. This will fit in perfectly this. one story. It's exactly 58 minutes.

Right. It's about how you grew up until. this moment. No this is a good manager story. So and. I know then we'll get into. and I will quickly say Mark Gervitz. I've known him for a long time and he's. he's a mench. He's a good fella. Yeah. I think I I've only told the story. on 17 podcasts. That's okay. Have you ever heard people say this? No one listens to. I haven't told this I haven't told this. anywhere and they ramp it up like I go. I don't want to see this clip because I. know it's all set up like. like I want you to make it a clip like I. shouldn't tell this. This is.

But I'll tell this because um it's. boring. It'll fit right in. So I Here's Spy. This is before you knew. me. Um. before we fell in love. Yeah. This is. probably I'm 22. Moved out here doing. standup from Arizona. Got my first movie. Got $6,000. I. cleared 6,000. Bought a car. Looked for two weeks going. and I didn't just grab the first one. like first Camaro. What you would think. Mhm. Hot rod. Y. I get a Honda Accord. I take the hit. I.

go I just got to get one at starts every. day. Buy it cash. Drive it to the improv. Come out to show my friend. Stolen. So, so. not even an hour. Wow. Uh, and then it's. so embarrassing. I'm like, "Here it is.". And I'm showing I'm a little buzzed. I. went in and did a shot and I come I go, "Maybe it's on Kilkia. Hold on." And. then we're walking and I go, "Would it. be on Beverly?" Wait, let me check the. 405 because I just couldn't believe like. where is my car? Where did I park it? You can't believe someone took it.

I could That didn't even cross my mind. I go, I just don't remember where I. parked it. And then the cops go, "Oh, they probably sold it to you. kept the. key, followed you, and took it. And I. go, "So now, what do you do?" Spring. into action. He goes, "You'd think." Um, one would one would think. He goes, "I like these cops already.". One would hope. He goes, "I'm already forgetting about. this." As I walk back to my car, but. I'll say we're on the case. Anyway, nothing happened. So now I'm back to. zero. I have to borrow money and stuff. Anyway, so I I I this is a police.

academy movie. This is how it started. So I got that movie, cleared that. And. when I was there, I was so new, didn't. know how to act. Um, I wasn't the fine. actor I am today. You've become quite the fast. Yeah. So, I I was there and uh this. Bobcat Goldweight who was helping me out. was like, "Hey, this director of mine is. here and he's doing a new show on Fox, which just started. This is how old I. am." And I said, "Okay." Uh, that's what. I I always wanted like a sitcom or. something. He's like, "It's a single. camera where you're like a high school.

like FBI." I was like, "Oh, how fun.". you know. So I said, "Oh, cool." So, uh, Fox New, you know, so great. So he goes, "Hey, do you mind reading this script, right?" So he has sides. This is in. Toronto during Please. You glue this on to make me look. stupid. Glue it on. Deco. So anyway, I go, "Okay.". So I just read this. So I just literally. read it to him. Yeah. And he's like, "Great. Well, okay. You're not quite.

there. We'll work with it." I literally. knew nothing about acting. just read it. to him like a story and he goes, "All. right, but you got a little heat on you. This is what I didn't know. I had done. stand up at the improv for about 6. months. Some casting. I got this job as. a skateboarder in this movie. And so now. I get back and I've got this heat on. me." Yeah. Which I don't even know what. that means. Just like, "Oh, they're. talking about you." So I got a manager. My agent moved to ICM. So now I'm at. ICM, which is too big for me. I get home. and they go, "Uh, hey, this guy offered.

you that part, the lead in that show.". And I was like, "Wait, my own show?" I. said, "Oh my god, this is like a a. crazy." And they go, "Okay." So, they. have a big meeting at ICM. I think. Gervis is there. And they go, "Here's. why we're going to turn that down. You've got too much heat on you. That's. a new network. We want you at NBC. They're doing Cosby Show. and all and. we're going to have a meeting with. Brandon Tarter Sauce or whatever his. name is and and you're going to.

sauce. You're going to get a job there. Yeah. He's heard about you. He's. excited. He saw you stand up. I go, "Oh, I I don't know. Wouldn't it. be better to the the one I have that's a. thousand percent an offer?" No, no, no. And maybe like 20 grand a week, whatever. Some magnanimous number. So I. said, "Oh, so we're all agreed, all 12 agents. I. don't do this." Okay. So, then I meet. Tardikov. They have me read something, right? So, I'm now I'm a free agent.

Yeah. The casting director goes, "Oh, you're about to go." I think we're doing. these sides now. I should never have. taken him. I took him. I go, "Okay." I. had been coached on a little scene he. wanted me to read. Now, I walk in, I do. the Police Academy read again. Blah blah. blah. Read it. I leave. Gervitz goes, "All the people that just got a. development deal at NBC take one step. forward." Not so fast, Spade. I go, "What do you mean?" He goes, "You were. too green. They saw you read. You're not. ready. But they like you and they're.

going to keep an eye on you." And I go, "So now what?" He goes, "Now we hit the. pave and start auditioning." So I. auditioned for 30 pilots that year and. gotten none. Not even one call back. I. didn't know what I was doing, right? And then uh he goes, "You know what? ICM. Let's leave them. Let's go to. there's a smaller agency, Abrams, which. is medium, right? They're good. This guy. loves you." And I was spinning out. I I. could not believe what was going on. I'm. like, lost everything. Lost my heat. They all think I'm bad. And I got into. classes to act. And then I was with this.

agency. And I swear to you, about. three years ago, we're at dinner in. Geritz Ghost. And then ICM him. over and dropped him. And I go, "No, no, no. I left ICM, remember?" He goes, "Oh, is that what I told you?". And I go, "No, what do you mean? Did they drop me?" He. goes, "Oh, yeah." I go, "They they. dropped me. They're the ones that. me over." And he goes, "I know. I. couldn't tell you that though because. it's just a tough biz. They said we. don't need him anymore. He didn't it. didn't click." And I was like,

"Jesus.". I said, he goes, "You wouldn't have been. able to handle that." I said, "I would. not have there's no way I couldn't. handle that." Just mentally, like the. rejection was so piled on by that point, I couldn't deal with it. So then I went. and scraped my way over to uh, you know, SNL or whatever. Well, I I I mentioned this the last time. you were on. I was present when you. auditioned. I went with and this was not. common but. I don't remember this actually. Yeah. I went with uh it was not common. but Lauren there was a showcase.

Yeah. And uh. I can never say who was there. I can't. remember. Yeah. Lauren I remembered I didn't go to. a lot of these but Lauren wanted me. there for some I was a writer at SNL. young whippers snapper and I. hungry. hungry. I go with Lauren and. um Schneider I think was the same night. Yeah. And the other guy was. Tom Kenny. Tom Kenny the voice of. this is before he was the voice of. Spongebob and Mr. Show. And so uh and watched you guys and I.

remembered you were doing okay and then. at the end you did your Michael J. Fox. impression and get killed. And I. remember Lauren us driving away and. Lauren being like, you know, I I liked. the Michael J. Fox guy and and then um. he liked Schneider and so he brought you. two in at the same time. And then I. remembered getting to know you really. when. it was those Tuesday nights when we. would stay up all night and write.

and you and Chris Rock. and Schneider would be kind of wandering. around to see who had what ideas. Do you. know what I mean? And you'd come in, you. go like, "Hey fellas, anybody got any. Hey buddy, got any ideas?" And. help me out. But um it's funny because I know your. your. special your standup special is. Dandelion and you have an explanation. for why it's dandelion which is um a. little bit about your character.

Fragile. fragile on the inside. But I always. found you my read on you was always this. is a guy with. you. You always had that uh kind of. tough, not tough, but I would say. sarcastic, dismissive, super sharp. shell. shell, but I could always tell you were. a very sweet guy underneath. I would say yeah, I would say thank you, Eddie. I kind of agree that it was so. tough there. Scary. And it was tough.

It's the same reason I was sarcastic in. high school. like I wasn't as scared of. getting beat up at SNL, but in high. school and grade school it was I was in. some bad places that I didn't like. And. so it was sort of my thing being a bit. of a pipsqueak. So, uh, getting to SNL. was the same thing. I'm just in over my. head clearly and just trying to take it. all in and going to doors going I don't. know what to do like here you know and. like everyone it just takes so long to. to seep in and then figure how to write.

on that legal pad and all that and. yeah high techch legal pad stuff. It's. it's a pad and a pen and you just go go. and then the door closes and I go go do. what? I write a sketch tunes. I don't. know. I don't write my own sketch. Do I. write theirs? Do I Who's the host? Do I. get to meet a celebrity? But. the thing I'm sure you guys have covered. this on your podcast, but the thing that. about SNL that no one understands. is how, and this is true of a lot of. show business, how little supervision. there is. Yeah.

I mean, you get to SNL and you think. someone's going to tell you, okay, here's how it works. No one tells you. anything. They're almost mad you're there. Yeah. Oh, they are mad you're there. Lauren's Lauren standard line when you'd. encounter him in the hall was still with. the show. Still with the show. And you'd think I. think I am. Um. I told Lauren when we talked to him on. the show, uh because you know it's a. little easier to talk to Lauren now when. all the stress is gone. It's he's fun to.

talk to. And he was like, "Uh, I because. every year he would talk to the managers. or whatever and go, I don't know." So, can they can you just say he's coming. back so he can keep his apartment? We're. not there yet. So, I would for six years. like. Laura was the one that stole your car, by the way. Was it? Oh, it's a Honda Accord. I love those. Someone give me a ruler, I'll jimmy it. open. Take that prick. I know how to hot wire it. I learned it.

in Toronto at university. Things just got worse for you. So. I love that that was revealed later on. too. Mr. Honda, [Laughter]. you hold me back. I thought told you. I put the drop on you at ICM. So anyway, um I says I says I says. I forgot you were an old sailor. He. says, I says, I says,

remember that Farley? I says, I says to. him, I says right to his face. I says, I. says, I says, I says, and I'm like, I go afterwards at Re, you're not really going to do this on. update. Yeah. Oh, yeah, I am. I go, is that enough to kill with one. three words? Watch. And I did. And he did. But anyway, I tell I tell Lord every. every year he doesn't bring back. And. every year I have to get I drag my. mattress down. I have to sell it. I. get out of my part. Then about a. month later, can't get a hold of me. He's an amiganza. No phones. I mean,

it's always the funniest. I can't get a. hold of him. Then he finally goes, he. says yes. So I go back, get an. apartment, stressed out of my. gard. And then when we had him on the. show, he goes, you were never in any. danger of getting fired. I Lauren, look. at me. There was some danger because. maybe in your head because it all it did. work out, but it took a while. You were. there. It took a while for me to get any. you know, you get a few snarky lines. here and there, but I was not that. valuable. I remember one time Schmeiggel. said, uh, Schmeiggel Smeiggel.

Smeiggel is from Lord of the Rings and. he's the lowliest creature. Yes. Um, and then uh and then there's Robert. Smeiggel who's also in uh. and so says uh cuz Schneider was uh. acting up or something and you know Rob. and I have talked about this forever, but we were all handling it differently. and he goes uh he goes Schneider's tough. but he is valuable. worth having around and I was like I. want to be valuable. That's what it hit. me. I was like, "Oh, you want someone to. say in a position like Michael was like,

"We need you around." Cuz he can go to. Lauren, Rob, and you'll go, "Yeah, he's worth. it." He he because Rob is a funny. writer, you know. Yeah. And he had a kind of a gruff, abrasive. personality back then, if that's fair. But. uh I was a nice guy finishing last guy. and Rob was like, "Hey, I'm going to get. in there." But it was working. you know, stuff gets rewritten over time and. everybody uh and there's how you. experience it and this is actually kind. of a big a recurring theme on the.

podcast that fascinates me, so I revisit. it a lot, which is I talked to these. very famous people who've had incredible. success like yourself and then. their take on it. is. harrowing. I felt like I wasn't going to make it. It was scary. um it was touch and go. I. squeaked by and then in the end things. kind of worked out. But that is not how. anybody else sees it. They just see you as being someone who.

is like okay big star on SNL and then uh. in movies and then uh. many TVs sitcom you're just like a. staple. Yeah. But that is not how. right. it feels to you. I think it it in. fairness I I'm pretty objective about I. mean most of things I say are lies but. when when I look back it was uh pretty. it was hard for me to get a foothold. I. mean obviously Sandler. caught fire pretty quick and he's got so.

many moves all these characters and. things spoon man everything was. happening so fast I was like holy. he really came in loaded and like Dana. obviously is so good on the show and. Farley right from the get-go. So, I just. didn't have that. I was sort of just a. comedian that could write some funny. stuff, but took a while. By the end, I. do like I'm lumped in with Farley, Sandler Rock. I mean, that's just kind. of how it is. Yeah. And I love it. So, when I was just on a show, Rich Eisen,

I mentioned you because I was saying. that that chunk when I got there of. of talent around which made me better. was running with people better than you. And I said Conan and Smiggle and I think. Greg Daniels and uh. and all these writers and Downey and you. know I I could go on and on. Frank and. then you got Neil and all the cast and. Mike Myers and our new guys coming in. with me and Adam and. Chris and Chris Rock and Meadows and. So that was just a big chunk of.

people that you could look to anyone and. go, "Oh, I can learn something from this. guy. I can learn how to write or I can. learn how to perform or look at the. table read." It took a while to seep in. and then I got better at it. But man, every I could have gotten if I left any. in a year. I told Gervin I want to leave. once. He goes, "Then what?" I mean, where do you go? You left us now and it. didn't work. Now that's a hard place to. be in Hollywood. Yeah. And so he said, "Just stick." Even when. I wanted to quit to do movies, he's. like, "You're getting movies only. because you're on SNL. Do you. understand?" I go, "Well, I don't need.

time to do them. Maybe one in the. summer." He's like, "But if you leave. the it it's hard to explain, but it's. true.". Yeah. I'm curious cuz. when I remember I was at your audition. and I also clearly clear clearly. remember it's burned into my brain going. into Lauren's outer office which is one. floor above uh 8H his little office. where that looks out over the studio. and there was a. watches the cows graze on. rehearsal.

It's uh but it's that's like the office. that he moves to later in the week. high up in the. shifts to this stage for the second half. of the week. Lauren's there. And I remember there would always be. people waiting outside to meet with. Lauren and Lauren would keep them. forever. And I have a very clear memory. of this kind of stout boyish looking. tossle-haired guy sitting out on this. couch waiting to talk to Lauren for like.

more than a day. And I went up and. chatted with him because he was. Odenkirk's friend and it was Chris. Farley. Oh. And then and he was sitting there and he. was super eager and he was laughing real. hard and I would and so I took him on a. tour of the stage and was doing that. stickick I used to do where I would. if someone was already hanging a lamp. I'd be like and hang that lamp. and you over there Joe. I went I was. saying all their names wrong and if the. guy was on a crane use the crane that's. the way. And Farley was following me.

around giggling. Laugh his ass off. and and he was and I just said, "I love. this." He had the energy of a puppy when. you first go get the puppy. Just so much. fun. And then you guys found, was it the two. of you that realized we have this thing. or did someone else see it and go, "Wait. a minute. You've got this energy of. Spade and you've got this energy of. Farley. It's peanut butter and jelly. Let's put them together.". Yeah, it was probably it was either. Lauren or the Turners because.

Bonnie and Terry Turner great team. Yeah, writer. I forgot to say those two. Uh. but you know Lauren's like maybe. something about how they are at the. office. I think that's how it all. started. Like. I make fun of Chris, he laughs, tells me. to make fun of him again, he laughs just. we walk around, we go to Moose and. Franks or whatever we not Moose and. Franks, Wall-E. and Joseph was Yeah. In New York. Yeah. and uh Huxley's and all the places. that have been condemned now. But um.

Infernace, they were condemned then. You. just still you just went there still. Yeah. Yeah. Uh anyway, so then that got the uh. Billy III got written up that one with. um the Turners wrote that first draft. and then I think turned it over to Fred. Wolf turned into Tommy Boy. But that was. also because Billy was Billy Madison. Yeah. That summer. That's. funny. I'm curious about something. Tommy Boy comes out and not thought of. as a success initially, but then very quickly afterwards you.

find out that it's huge. Is that. correct? I think it it opened number one, but not. crazy through the roof, right? And then uh and then after time. it was looked upon more finally over. time, but the video sales were insane. I think it went to 100 million. Yeah. They said the Paramount goes this video. They ordered Black Sheep after Tommy Boy. for the following summer. They're like. start now. We got to do another one. maybe while we were before it came out.

because we shot it the next summer. So. if I could still be doing those that was. the funnest, you know. And did you um. I. leave SNL, go to the Simpsons, I come. back and Chris would. you just sign that? That's great. Chris. wrote Simpsons. It's worth less. Um. I'm just trying to remember how I know. you. The more you tell me are more clues. Worthless.

Um, I come back to do the late night. show and. you guys were all so generous and nice. I mean, I'm the new late night host. I'm. down on six and I know all you guys and. so you're all coming down doing bits. Chris would come down and do bits. Um, which I look at now and they just. they fill me with joy. They also make me. sad. because he's. the one where he runs in on Letterman I.

see a lot on Instagram. He runs down and. grabs a guy and he throws him in the. garbage can. Yes. Yeah. Yeah. Unreal. That was one of the best pieces. of television I've ever seen. So funny. Probably not super thought out. He's. wearing a thick suit. The funny thing is. he would wear like a t-shirt, then a. shirt, then a button down, then a tie, then an overcoat, then a cashmere. I'm. like, "Godamn, dude. How do you move? I. Cuz my neck is up. I can't wear. more than two layers. He has layered. I. like to feel tight and hugged. I'm like,

god damn. But and then he's running and. he's sweating. I'm like, he's like, why. am I sweating? I'm like, you have 14. layers on. And that's the other thing. Funny thing, too, is that he got tagged. as the funny fat guy, but he was incredibly athletic and. strong. Do you know what I mean? I. didn't. agile. Yeah. And and and he could do all these. amazing things with his body. And I. think in the same way his hero Belushi. Yeah. because he was, you know, paired with. like a bean pull aaroid at the time or.

whatever, he could, you could think of him as the. the heavy guy of the duo, but I. remembered him being just such an. incredibly physical comedian. Yeah. I think it's an extra move that is. surprising to people, but it's one more. funny thing about him. Like he can do. those piouetses. We did that skating. sketch. Remember? Yep. Bump up the jam. They will. And it was. like Phil was Vern Lingquist or. something and I was Scott Hamilton and. it was Nancy Carrian show and barley and.

Nancy Carrian and he kept falling. Oh, that's going to hurt him. He kept. falling over and over and he got down to. like zero points. But he was a really. good skater too and so it was funny that. he could skate well and you go, "Oh, that's a surprising move." And then when. he doesn't eat sort of like ballet, he. can do these weird moves. All all adds. to the funny. Well, he is missed. Must. be I mean I know that you had an. incredibly uh close. relationship with him. I miss him and uh.

knew him as like a friend and a guy that. I would do things with from time to. time, but clearly it was uh. must uh I hope time has made that I'm. sure easier thing to handle. Yeah. I. mean, we were all pretty close with him. And so any any of that stuff. I remember. uh one time he goes, "I don't want to be. known as the funny fat guy." I go, "Would you take the fat funny guy?" And. he said, "It's a little better." Yeah. Uh but I remember seeing you at another.

This is another sad Norm's memorial. Yeah. Where uh something did happen funny. Not. the dying part, but there was other. stuff that was going on. Right. Right. By the way, it was like brought to you. by Netflix. It was something cuz I. remember going to talk and there was. like a crane shot or something. I'm. starting to cry and they're like, "Push. in." I'm like, "Is there camera dolly. coming at me?". What was I I spoke I don't know if I was. MCing it or you can't MC a funeral. You know what's funny? But.

it always just turns into that. Let's be. honest. No, no, no. It's true. uh it turns into. well I spoke about him up front and. talked about him and then uh brought. other people up on stage. that the two things that I remember are. Lori Joe was sort of running it or. whatever and I said Lori Joe she goes. can you speak and I said I'm not good at. that I said I would do it if I just do. it right away up front because I don't. want to sit there and rot while thinking. of oh so she goes okay it was like.

Downey went up standing standing. ovation. I'm going to bring Conan up. Standing ovation. Lori Joe goes then I. think you bring her up. She gets a. standing ovation. And then we finally. get back to you and you finally go, "All. right, we're going to bring up some. friends. David's fate." And so I walked. up and I go, "Well, I guess the standing. ovation portion is over because I was. the first. killed by the way.". Yeah, that was a good one. I should have. gotten off. Honestly, that was the funniest. thing that happened. And then but when I. walked up, I fell in those. stairs. Oh. And you caught me, I think. And you.

grabbed me. And I think you fell, too. Yeah. I'll tell you, I know exactly what. happened. It's We're in this goofy I don't know. what venue we were at, where we were, but. you went up, you tripped on the stairs. I think I did catch you. You don't weigh. a lot, so that was easy. It was like. catching a packing peanut. 94. Um 90 I don't know. That's That's. generous. 94. You fell and you started to float and I. grabbed you. You're like a balloon. Yeah. But then I thought, what's wrong with.

Spain? Why did he trip on that step? So then cut to me. What's wrong with. What's wrong with Spade? He. can't walk up stairs. So then you do your thing. I go up to. then take the stage again to bring up. the next person. Uh my foot catches on something on the. step and I trip and I turned it into. like a roll and stood up again and. people thought, "Oh, Conan's doing like. physical shit." Yeah. But then I walked. off stage and I said to the guy, "That.

step, Spades tripped on it and I tripped. on it." And the guy went, "Yeah, that. happens a lot. We should fix that. someday.". Yeah. He knew. He said, "We should fix that someday.". And I'm like, "Yeah, what happens when. Dame Judy Dench is killed? I mean, the two of us can take a fall. You know what? What happens when it's. the. It was pretty funny to me that he kept. going like it felt like most people. trip." And I'm like, well, this isn't. anomaly. Like with with me, I look over. and thought he'd be like this. He was. like this. Like, yep. Another one bit.

Yeah. And then he said like I I I went into it. with him a little bit. I went, "What do. you mean?" He was like, "Well, you know, it's higher than the other steps." Like. each other step is exactly in this. Yeah. And then there's one that's like. five. And he said, "And it's also uneven. and it's coming off.". Like fix it. And there's always an earthquake. That's. not my union, you know. So, I mean, I don't know how many of these. funerals you host, but you did a you did.

a good job. I have You know what's weird? I became. the funeral guy because I've done a. bunch and um and I really fret over them. and worry about them because it's. it's not just a regular thing. You're. really trying to think of who was this. person and now they're starting to rack. up where it's like I've I've done a. bunch now. Too many. It's hard. You're good at that. stuff. You're doing the Popes. I'm doing the Popes. Yeah. Yeah. I'm. being flown in. Is the Pope's going to be in LA? Looks like. Can you get me in? This My.

friends always want to get tickets to. Can you get me in? Can I just have. to tell this one story which is I have. to tell this because it's a Lauren story. but. but um after 911 you know there was like. months and months and months of cleanup. and it was an area that you couldn't go. to but sometimes people went went down. there and Mike Sweeney ran into Lauren. somewhere and Lauren knew that Mike. Sweeney was my head writer and they. they're chatting for a little bit and. then M and then Lauren to be magnanimous. said have you been down to ground zero.

and and and and Mike Sweeney went uh no. I haven't. He went, "Would you like to?". And suddenly. Sweenie pictured a velvet rope. And you are a Sweeney, but look. Yes. Yes. Right this way. And there's the big pit. And. we we called ahead. Yeah. I'll have the ve and I'd like to be uh. near that part of. what I kept saying which was never. working was I might head down to ground. zilch. And everyone's like ground zip. And they're like, "Are you talking about the 911 where. people died?" I go, "No, no, I'm talking.

about something else." Uh but that was. tragic. Uh but yeah, I went down there. like a week later cuz there's a 911. benefit where we all flew in and there. was a concert and all Adam went on. Everyone went on and uh they took us. down there. It was one of the perks. Oh my god. It is. It was a weird time. It was so weird. It was like a humble. brag. I went down. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Can you get close? Yeah. I got a little souvenir. But 911.

Yeah. I know you think it's funny. It's. not funny, but um but yeah, my my. friends my friends, it's noted that you laugh. Um my. friends, Sona, can I What the is wrong with. you? You're a monster. I'm crying. We're. doing a thing about how it's not funny. and then you start laughing. It's awful. No, it is awful. You're young and stuff, but we lived there and we went there. He said ground zilch. Yeah, that was funny. So, let's not forget. He said ground. zilch. Let's not forget it means 9/11.

Not that David Spade called it ground. zilch. Let's never forget. Never forget. the terrible day. No, that Spade called. it ground zilch. You're a monster. Let me ask you about Norm. you did stuff. on you were on the road with Norm and a. lot of us when Norm passed were. uh. shocked and I kept thinking. oh I must have been the only person that. didn't know.

oh. and people all thought well Conan you. knew Norm and he was does his classic. appearances on your show and D and I was. like I know we were desperately trying. to get him back I desperately wanted. Norm on my last episode, we were trying. to get him and. not getting an answer back and I. thought, well, he just doesn't want to. come and I was bummed about it, but. thought he's probably got other things. to do. That's too bad. He's alltime. great guest.

And then he he dies. and I just thought, well, I didn't know, but everyone else must have known. And. then Jim Downey called me and said, you. know, more or less Conan, you for. not telling me about Norman. I said, "Jim, I didn't know." And he and. and Jim Downey said. I would think Downey might know. No, Jim didn't know. Did you know? I did not know. And I. And you were touring with him. Well, I'd done some gigs with him and. then uh before co me, him and Dennis. Miller was our last one together. But.

great, super fun, obviously. And then um. but but you know, we would talk and he. it was more about coming over for. dinner. Same thing where he didn't tell. me. He'd go, "No, I can't." And and then. I he goes I go, "Well, it's just me and. you sitting 10 ft apart, but something. to do." And he's like, "Yeah, okay, for. sure." And then that night I go, "Where. are you?" He goes, "David, it's co." And. I go, "What is it?" So, you're not. coming. We're not supposed to leave the. house. I go, "I know, but we've talked. about it's like you're allowed to go. places." And then, "Oh, yeah, yeah,

yeah. Okay, well, let's do it next week. then." And then he just did that routine. and then until it was too late, but I. didn't know. So, I don't know who knew. I think Gervitz knew and maybe um. I think Gervitz and Lor. I think that's. about it. And and I think. I mean I. I think two things about it and they're. diametrically opposed. One is I wish I. had known cuz I would have told him what. he meant to me. Yeah. And there's that feeling of feeling. uh.

why. I wish I had known. And so initially I. was mad that I didn't know. Yeah. And then there's the other side. which is. great respect for him wanting to keep it. private. Yeah. And him not wanting people to treat him. any differently because he was sick. Yeah. I don't know. I I So I I have both. feelings at the same time. Yeah. I feel the same way. Like I It was. just so overwhelmingly horrible that I. just like then I later it took me how it.

affected me where like it was I was mad. at him. Yeah. But I'm, by the way, just not to. lighten up the lo the feel here because. I know it's getting sad, but when we. were at the memorial or whatever that. special was. for Norm. Yeah. Where we watched Were you We were. watching the special. Remember that? We. watched his special. That's why the. cameras are there. That's a separate That was That was a. thing. Wasn't that a at after memorial? You're talking about two different. things. No, there was um there was a a.

kind of a. eulogy for Norm that I sort of spoke at. and brought people up and then there was. a separate thing where Norm had made. he was planning to do a he was pl it was. fascinating. He was planning to do. um an hour and he had an hour together. or 50 minutes and he really had it in.

his mind and he knew I think I believe. and Lori Joe would know better. I don't. want to speak for her but I think he was. planning. to go into the hospital for what he. thought was going to be. something routine maintenance. routine maintenance treatment for his. condition. So what he did was he said. before I go into the hospital I want to. record. So he recorded. using similar technology. way like just a. literally just a camera there we're.

doing here is far more sophisticated and. he did from memory his whole. 50 minutes and it was really funny and. great. He goes into the hospital. and he dies. And then Lori Joe found the. tape. Yeah. And. they thought. to round out the special or to give it. something else, let's have. you, me, Sandler, Chappelle, Letterman. Who else was there? Was it.

more? Molly. Molly was there. Molly Shannon. A bunch. That was it. Might have been it. It was. And had us. watch it. We hadn't seen it. Watch it in. real time. Weird. And then filming us. Yes. And then talk about it right. afterwards. And that part um I mean I. think it came out really well, but I. remembered being. it's. it was very powerful to be in a room and. have everyone else leave and shut the. doors and then show and then suddenly.

Norm was there. Yeah. and he's he's being hilarious. and we're laughing and loving it and. then it's over and then I think we just. started talking at parts though because. you can you're just watching him going. and then you start drifting your mind. going okay it's over this it's right. before. and then we talk and then it's funny. because we're all talking and then also. we're like. just a weird. scene will that ever be released do you. think. it was I didn't realize that.

yeah it was I think It's on Netflix. Okay, sorry. Oh. Oh, your mistakes get out. That's. nice. Um, yes, it won a uh No, it uh. Can you edit out me laughing at 9/11? No. No. Okay, cuz we never forget called Nothing. Special. We never forget who called Nothing. Special. Yeah. It's called Nothing Special and it won. an Emmy. Uh, was it called Nothing Special? What's that? Was it called Nothing Special? Yeah. Nor the thing that you guys are watching. has aired. or the whole his material.

No, no, no. Just And just so we're. Has he been listening? This is his first podcast. He won He won. a contest. Is he a contest? Contest winner. He got to fly in and we. didn't he told him not to talk. I mean, the microphone isn't even real. Um, no, it was the special was. you see uh it plays Norm's special and. then you see our reaction to it. So. that's the whole So you see both. Sorry. No, that's okay. Don't be sorry. I I and. that's humanity. You should feel.

terrible about your crimes. Um you know at the at the memorial the. first one with the dolly shots whatever. that one was that you were falling. everywhere. Um. I did when people die I and I'm I'm. mourning them. I tend to do a tumbling. act just to sort of also by the way I. think it was like 4 in and the next one. was like 9 in because everybody their. toe hit that thing. I'm still. mad about that step. But I left in. between that and then there was like a. part two or maybe it was the I'm.

confusing him but I had to come back. Yeah. So I had about or I just left during it. because it was getting too sad. So I ran. out. This is when I went to McDonald's. and in the Amazon special I talk about. that exact thing. I went to McDonald's. in my suit. and was in line and the crazy guy comes. out of the bushes and starts takes off. shirt says smacking. Yes. The guy ordering. Yep. So I go, let's back up, but let's. park. I don't I want to watch. So I went. in and that whole thing takes place from.

the Nor McDonald thing. I didn't Okay, so that happened from the. norm thing. That's a real story. And it was really. happening. And I did get scared when he. came in because I thought we were going. to get in a fight. You um first of all, I want it noted. that someone you were very close to, a. colleague and a cherished person passed. away and you were present at the. memorial, but walked out halfway through. to go to McDonald's. But also, but then something funny happened which. you could use in your special dandelion. So, I guess we got that set.

Yeah, you did your set. So, then you're. out of there. I scored and now it's time for some. chicken McNuggets. Maybe I'll get. I try to sound real and it's it's too. many comics there and I'm trying to. sound like Say nice stories about. Norman. Everyone's just looking for. punchline. It's such a weird scene. because it's all comedians and you're. just like I'm just going to leave here. and everyone's going to be like who did. well? You know what I mean? It's like. that's everything. it is. Okay, let's talk about this. This. is a real phenomenon where a.

funny person dies. Yes. Who do they who are their friends? Other. funny professionally funny people. We. get together when people pass on when. they die and there's a gathering. People. speak. but you've got a room full of people who. are competitive about getting up and. being funny. And it's a strange. phenomenon. These things are weird. because you think, nope, it's not about. that. But there's some part of you that. wants to do well. and there's some nerves and some.

awkwardness. And I think it started I. went to Gary Shanlings's. Yep. funeral and then everyone was like, Bill. Maher did great. I kept going and can I. say something? Mar used props and that. and I and I he had a lot of balloons. He. was doing balloon work. He was I don't remember that. No, I remember it clearly. And he had um. a whole trunk like like Gallagher or. Gallagher 2. that was being filmed too. Yeah, I think Napatel filmed. Yeah, they had Yeah. Is that filming for. something for a documentary? Oh, I thought Gallagher was Sorry, I got. confused. I thought I thought.

So, you guys are here to help. We're We're She's throwing confusion. I. am. You should do Gallagher 3. Do you know what Gallagher 2 is? Gallagher 2 is his brother. Yeah. And he does Gallagher's act, right? But I think Are they Have they. both passed on to their reward? I think. Gallagher won. Well, according to this podcast, I'm. sure they did because everyone's dying. so far that we talk about. I know you guys are dying a lot. Well, I'm sorry, but a lot of death. I'm sorry. We're jinxing everyone. We. are two survivors here. You know, you and are young people. You.

don't know what it's like. We We have. been through the We're like guys. that were in war together. We're like in the Titanic. We're talking. about. SNL together. I don't think that's. It's a lot like the Titanic. SNL. Yeah. All right. God, we talk about SNL forever. It's so. embarrassing, but it it is something to. talk about, right? He said doodling. Hey, if you're bored, just let me know. I think this is I. actually love talking about this stuff. and it's meaningful to me and. we were both there. If you want to take a break and go to. McDonald's, go ahead and I'll just keep.

talking. You can get yourself the Mc Griddle, whatever it's called. No, I almost got beat up. That's a big. story. You're not even concerned. Well, let's hear about it. No, I can't. It's. on the special. Dandelion. Does this come off? Yeah, it's on. And hey, you know what's. I I very much enjoyed your special. Did you watch it? Yeah, I did. Oh my gosh. I watched it last night. What are you talking about? When I talk. to a friend and they have a special, I. know you know what I what I liked is. that you've got very funny material. You're obviously a very funny comedian,

but when you notice something that's. just happening in the real moment and. around about it, you're one of my. favorites. And one of the first things. he does in the special is you're. talking. And I didn't even notice it, but I realized you're kind of doing that. thing when there's a long cord, your cord, mic cord, and you're trying. and you went, "By the way, the cordless. mic was invented in 1996, guys." And. it's it it's hilarious. And it's not. even part of the set that you had. planned. and then you go on this whole riff about.

Jeff Bezos and uh and. give me a shitty mic for my. special. Yeah. And um but you uh I noticed this. at the SNL 50th and I know I'm bringing. SNL back into it, but for a reason you. did a sketch in that and at one point. you're not even in the sketch anymore. and you ad lived a line that was one of. my favorite lines of the night. That's right. You told me that was very. nice. and and I mean it absolutely was. hilarious which is a sketch is going on. You take us through it. I'm doing a. sketch with Melany uh and Pete Davidson,

Broadway New York musicals. So, it's. kind of a long sketch. and it's about the evolution of New York. throughout the different eras like. starting out in 75 when SNL starts out. and then a bunch of people saw this. Me and Peter are like two young kids and. he's telling us the story of how it. started. And so, as we go through it, I I don't. know if they predicted this, but of. course, I got bored during it. So, they have me they write me in the middle. of it. I walk in and I sit in the. audience. You're in the audience suddenly. So, which all the way people don't really.

know you like suddenly you're not there. but. you don't quite clock that and then all. a sudden they just go where's David? He. goes. listen Jimmy. Uh and then he goes. wait Pete he just breaks character. Where's Spade? And he goes, "Oh, I think. he went back to the audience. and sat in the audience and then they. look around and then they have a camera. at me and I'm sitting in the audience. and they cut to me and I go, "Oh, yeah. No, I got a feel for it.". So I I but and so I asked around and I.

think that was you. Was that your line? Well, they gave me a line and it was. something like that. And then they Wally. goes, "I'm not going to give you a Q. card." You got it. And I go, "Yeah." And. then when it came to me in rehearsal, I said that which was basically. something like the line. And then. Right. But you said it your way and you. were so dismissive and it was so it was. so thrown away. You're like, "Nah, I got. a feel for it." And I, you know, I. laughed very hard a bunch of times that. night. That might have been my favorite. moment. Thank you. That was fun cuz we did. rehearsal and it worked. And then. Melanie was like, "Just do it like.

that." Like whatever. It was perfect. It. was It was fun to be at the 50th and it. was fun to have be in something because, you know, we just go and uh I thought. Love It's line was funny, too. Oh my god. They they didn't. Love it is at the American Girl store. He's sitting so far away. He's so he's you know they have people. sitting and he's at the American Girl. store and what was his. and and they go because they have the. all stars in the audience but you can't. fit everyone. They go where's John. Leven? And then they pan to the the real. American Girl store. He's sitting with. all these dolls around him and they go,

"Oh, Johnny." He goes, "I'm not. I'm not mad. I just want to know why.". And I go, "Sorry, John, that you're all. you're all the way over across the. street in the American Girls." I'm not. mad. I just want to know why. Like he. doesn't get there's not enough seats. He's like, "We had a crazy night. I don't know if. you're going to remember this. It wasn't. that crazy, but we occasionally get. dinner together.". Yeah. It'll be And when I say we, it's you, it's Dana Carvey, it's myself, it's the same group. We.

always go to the exact same restaurant. on Lassiaga. Koi. Love it. And it's this thing we do. and we'll. just sit around and talk. And I remember. one night, we don't, it wasn't planned. It was a. total accident. We're leaving the. restaurant and we hear, "Help.". Hello. And it's John Levitz. What do we have here? What do we have here? And his and he is. he is always himself. And he's always. he's one of the funniest people you'll.

ever meet because he's always himself. And the whatever he's doing, if he's. standing with an attractive woman, he'll. say, "Oh, and this is, you know, and. this is Jessica." And then he'll look at. me in front of her and say, "Jalice.". He's always a walking character. And he he does play the John Lois. He. doesn't he he does what you want to. hear. But we were with him and we're all. talking to him and then I I I can't. believe this really happened. But we all. walk outside the restaurant and Love it.

is standing there and he said, "Hold on, they're delivering a car for me. and they delivered like an. one of those trucks.". Oh, yeah. Was delivering a car to him at the. restaurant. I don't mean like an Uber. I don't mean. I mean he was taking possession of a. fancy car and looked to me and was like. jealous. Yeah, I was jealous. As they were lowering a car, you're a Porsche sir. Yeah. And I thought, who who the.

says yes? Well, yes, I'll take. possession of my Bugatti and I'll be. over at Ky looking for old friends from. Saturday Night Live. Wait till you see me standing with them. and then pull up. When you see me standing there and you. see with them with their shitty cars, make sure you wait. Oh man. And then back up and have the car. delivered. And it was it was a. happening. I love that. Yeah. Yeah. We love it. Is always a. crack up. He has of tons of cars. I'm. shocked. I like cars. He has way more.

He pulls up. Do you like it? You like it? He goes, "How can I?" Cuz he goes, "You. should get a Mustang." And he pulls up. this new blown out Mustang. Goes, "How. can I get you in this car?". Trying to sell. Yeah, he is always a crackup. Uh oh. Also, you you did uh the Mark Twain. I. saw you at the last Mark Twain that I. was in, which was the Sandler. That was. a really funny. Was yours Was yours fun, too? Yeah, it was a lot of fun. It was a lot. of fun. I I was more fun than I thought.

it was going to be. I like. I really like showing up for other. people, being talked about, of course. Is it weird? Uh I was dreading and then I loved it. um just because everyone was so funny. and. yeah, I just saw the lineup out there on. the poster that you signed for yourself. or something, but it was on other people. and uh signed it to me. I don't know exactly what happened, but. Well, I stood with a marker and I signed. Letterman Melany. It's part of your deal. Sign here.

I signed everyone else's name on it to. pretend. I was with Nikki Glazer in Vegas and she. gallantly took a We did our show. Yep. And she goes, "I'm going to miss. your set. I'm going straight to the. airport." Went straight on the red eyee. to you. Got it together. I mean, that's. a brutal. She killed. And I was just in Vegas. yesterday and ran, I think, drove by seven different. signs. For me and Nikki.

Yeah. For you and Nikki. And I adore. her. Yeah. She's. I adore her and I adore you. I love the. idea of you two being out there. together. And that would be a show. I. would love to see that show. Yeah, you'd laugh. It's funny. We just. And like what you're saying earlier, it's like when you do corporate shows, you probably do those when you Dane and. I do a bunch of them. And uh he. kills. He's exactly what they want. He. exactly I'm pretty much what they want. when he's exactly what they want. But. whenever you do anything in actually any. show when I'm on the road this tour, if.

you say anything that they don't think. is scripted, like that mic thing or you say something. about this or you make fun of the guy. over here with the lights, it always works 10 times better than. whatever you're really supposed to. It's. so. funny that it always works that way. One. time I was doing this corporate and this. is just a dumb example, but it was like. three nights. One night was like Stevie. X, me, and then Journey, right? So they. I'm going backstage they're like and. don't forget tomorrow we got David's. video coming but don't forget tomorrow. night Journey they would put up loud.

speaker. So after about six times before. I go on I go hey guys I don't want to. hear one more thing about. Journey. Okay we're here tonight. I. don't give a fat about Journey and. all their contest winners that are in. that. It's not even an all real journey. Not ready to break a but I said we're. here and I'm here and it's going to suck. and we're going to get through it and. then you get your precious journey. and then that works better than the. whole of course anything like that. Anything else you've got and then I go. anyways are funny and they're like.

oh I smell your act. Go back to Journey. You really got it with that Journey. thing. Say about anything else. David, I've kept you here long enough. Um, and I uh God, that did go fast. Con, I have to say we did a good job. We I It. was nice and fun and you were great. I think I did a good job. You did a great job. I You were all over the map. I think Sona and I did the best in your.

own way. You guys killed it. We learned about Oh, building seven over. there. Jesus Christ. Yeah, Billy Seven. So, to end on a positive note, um, Pearl Harbor. Yeah, there we go. Doesn't know what you're talking about. Um, David, yes. On a serious note, I've. known you I I want to I don't know. I. think it was 1989, something like that. 1990, I can't remember. It was a long. time. I've known you a really long time.

And, uh, I'm always really happy to see. you. And thank you. You are a uh deeply. funny person and also a sweet gentleman. I've always known you to be that. that sweet rumor. I hopey hopefully it's. sticking around. Yeah, we're getting it. We're getting. the word out there. It's not trending. well. People aren't buying it, but uh. there's a lot of push back on it. Um but. David Spade Dandeline uh is available to. stream on Prime Video. I watched it last.

night. It's really funny. And um. that's it. You're a good man. on the road. Come see me. I know your. friend Adam. Tell your friend Adam. I. said hello. Actually, someone said they there is a. house over there by you guys for I don't. even know where you live exactly. But. we keep it that way. Didn't you get Didn't it get close to. you? Yeah. You can take No, no, no, no. It's It's fine. The fire's got Sandler. and I live very close to each other. I. lived closer to the fire than Sandler.

Um Can you still live there? You cannot. Yes, I can. Yeah, great. Yeah. Yeah. Our. our we're gob, you know, I'm very lucky. We were very fortunate that uh. our house was close and we had to we had. to move out of it for a couple of. months, but it was just smoke damage. Um, sorry to bring that up, but yeah, I'm. glad you're okay. So, you saw us getting out. with some good sentiment and some good. feeling, and you brought up the fires. Yeah. I said quickly, I was racking my. brain. Chad GBT, what's the saddest.

thing that's happened in recent. fires in Los Angeles? And and it goes, the show's over. I. wouldn't bring it up. I go, so wait, so Chad GBT knew it was a. mistake. They know everything. They just. I would have ended on the journey bit. Yeah, that really killed. Yeah, I thought you had timing. You're. proving. Yeah. All right, David. I hope I see you real. soon. Yeah. Um, give me give me about 100. yards ahead of you and then you take. off.

Yeah. All right. Thanks.
