David Spade, actor, comedian and producer, is one of "Saturday Night Live's" all time favorite cast members. He is now hosting Comedy Central's "The Showbiz Show with David Spade", now in its second season. In "The Showbiz Show", David makes fun of Hollywood and celebrities in a manner similiar to his old "Hollywood Minute" segment on "Saturday Night Live".

Spade joined "Saturday Night Live" in 1990 as a regular cast member and writer. Here he made popular his well-known sarcastic, smart-alec character in a number of skits, some of which include: a flight attendent who bids an unpleasant "Buh-Bye" to each passenger as they deplane; a receptionist for Dick Clark, who, as a matter of policy, asks even the most recognizable face "And you are?"; and most famously, the bitingly sarcastic Hollywood Minute reporter who assualts celebities with a series of one-liners. He aslo impersonalted celebrities such as Michael J. Fox, Kurt Cobain and Tom Petty.

In 1997, fresh from his great ride as a "Saturday Night Live" cast member, David brought a version of a popular SNL character (Dick Clark's supercilious receptionist) to "Just shoot Me", playing the haughty assistant of Segal's magazine publisher. Nominated for 7 Golden Globes and 6 Emmys, including Outstanding Writing for a Comedy Series, "Just Shoot Me" is among the top cutting-edge situation comedies of the late 1990s and early 2000s. Of David's performance People Magazine said, "Spade...can deliver an insult with grace and precision.

In 2004, David joined the cast of "8 Simple Rules", following the untimely death of the sitcom's star, John Ritter. David plays the role of the wayward nephew who moves in and finds it hard to resist getting himself into trouble. The series was awarded the 2003 People's Choice for Best New Comedy.

David spun off into a slapstick movie career following his SNL departure after six years. His most notable movies were with SNL's wild and crazy big boy Chris Farley in the box office hit "Tommy Boy" (1995) and its sequel "Black Sheep" (1996). The teaming of this unlikely but funny pair ended with Farley's untimely death in 1997. Since then Spade has appeared in his own vehicles including "Joe Dirt" (2001) and Dickie Roberts: Former Child star (2003). Recently he teamed with former SNL member Ron Schneider on the film "The Benchwarmers" (2006).

David has also voiced characters on several episodes of "Beavis and Butt-head" and produced his own TV series "Sammy" in 2000. He has also appeared in recent commercials for Capital One with Nate Torrence where he plays the employee of a fictional rival company whose policy toward honoring credit card rewards is "always no".

On Friday, September 5, 2003, at 11:30 a.m., Spade received a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. His star is located at 7018 Hollywood Blvd.

David Spade was born July 22, 1964 in Birmingham, Michigan. He grew up in Scottsdale, Arizona. In 1986, David graduated from Arizona State University and is a member of Sigma Alpha Epsilon.
