I moved to LA when I was 18, and David Spade was my first celebrity encounter. I was in an elevator and he suddenly popped up just as the doors were closing. We stood next to each other in silence until finally, Spade let out a deep sigh, said "god dammit," and stepped off. Good times.

That's a perfectly David Spade thing to do, lol.

It really did feel quintessentially Spade. No idea what he was upset about, but I feel privileged I got to witness that moment. I really hope I run into him again one day so I can tell him this story

I once saw him at the LA auto show. He was chatting up one of the booth babes. He had a guy with him who looked exactly like Chris Farley which freaked me out because Farley had died by that time. It was his brother.

Really? That’s cool. I know he has multiple brothers but the one I saw was Kevin. He’s an actor and a comedian.

Well, considering Chris Farley sold brake pads, he would not be out of place at an Auto show either.

OtherwiseJello t1_j9s55dm wrote

Yeah, his brother is named John. And he's the one who found Chris dead. I always found it so sad that he died alone, so close to Christmas.

Corey Hart would do that. He'd sit at the same bar so long without being noticed, eventually the bartender started giving drinks to other patrons so they'd recognize him

MaximumUnderdrive69 t1_j9q1wri wrote

No concrete source. My driver's ed instructor told that story when the topic of wearing sunglasses at night came up. Given he was about the right age, and there's no reason to lie about something like that to a bunch of teenagers, I always believed him.

siverted t1_j9p83gt wrote

If anything, I'm sure he was grateful I didn't say anything to him. Just seemed pissed at life in general.

He was mad that he had to endure awkward silence with you, perhaps.

You created emotions in the spade.

Feel honored.

PoopIsAlwaysSunny t1_j9rjte0 wrote

Well this is Reddit, so someone probably already tweeted it to him

In the future, try to include details like the building you were in, what he was wearing, what businesses were on the floor he got off on, and what his hair smells like

Weird fact about me and David Spade: for a while young David Spade was a recurring character in my dreams. But it wasn't him, he was always playing someone. Like my dreams were movies and he got cast in them? It was weird but it stopped after a few years. Always made me feel like we were weirdly connected even though I'm not a big fan of his (outside of Emperor's New Groove). Not sure why I'm posting this here. Thanks for reading.

Hey now THAT'S an actor! Might have classed it up a bit. Maybe there wasn't room in the budget?

That happened to me with Kiefer Sutherland. Never someone I ever really thought about (pre-“24”). Somehow he showed up frequently in my dreams as varied characters.

Does that mean we're impaired somehow? Our brains are so uncreative that they can't conceive of new people so they're just taking famous faces and sticking them on new bodies? Or is it better?

My dad had the same experience with Rob Zombie, didn't recognize him because he (my father) was drunk as all hell and thought he was a homeless dude. Tried to hand Zomb a 10$ and said he (Rob Zombie) just said "What the fuck man" and got off the elevator.

notweirdifitworks t1_j9r0yhj wrote

I heard another story about Rob Zombie being mistaken for being homeless. I wonder how often that happens to him.

CandyCaneCrisp t1_j9raqax wrote

Probably a lot because he has very bad hygiene and stinks according to a friend who worked with him.

14

sunflowersav03 t1_j9r3m0r wrote

I can't say frequently, but there's no way it doesn't happen at all, considering he does look homeless in a sense, and not everyone knows of his music 😂 The only thing I could see now being different then when my dad met him (which was in his White Zombie days) would be that he probably has security now and doesn't hang out near crappy motels + sketchy bars - so I guess there's probably less of a chance of people even being allowed to talk to him?

FartAttack911 t1_j9qjy3z wrote

I drove buses at a luxury ski resort and one of my coworkers picked David Spade up on their shuttle after he did a comedy show. He refused to sit and just stood at the back of the bus clutching onto the bar with his eyes shut lol. Apparently he doesn’t like enclosed spaces or moving spaces hahaha

siverted t1_j9qmxxz wrote

Haha. Maybe that was it. Good thing our elevator was only 4 floors.

In 1992, I was flying out to college in LA and boarded a United flight in Chicago. As I walked down the aisle and approached my seat, I noticed the two people sitting in the row behind me were Adam Sandler and David Spade. Even though this was in their heyday at SNL, they were in coach and I assume connecting through O'Hare on way to LAX. As I got to my seat, being a starstruck SNL fan in my youth, I mouthed, but audibly, "No Way!" And Adam looked at me and in his funny voice said, "Oh, Yes way!." Anyway, I ended up talking with the (mostly Adam) for most of the flight about college my summer internship and other stuff, and when there was a lull, I heard Adam from behind say my name from behind in his grandma voice ask, "What are you reading?" The part that I remember most was when, thinking they might be interested, I told them that Dana Carvey had just released a movie filmed in my hometown called "Opportunity Knocks" that bombed. This was just after Carvey left SNL to pursue a movie career. After a few seconds of silence, David Spade rolled his eyes and said in his most sardonic tone "Yeah, and nobody answered" straight out of a Hollywood Minute sketch or Tommy Boy. Very ironic since now they are teamed up doing the Fly On The Wall podcast. They were the most true versions of what you see on screen. Afterwards, I ended up getting my bags with Sandler and introduced him to my roommate at curbside who had come to pick me up and he was gracious beyond any expectation. Nicest guy in the world and accurate as to everything I've heard about him since.

The guy really deserved to star in another film after that. He's obviously not some great actor but he brought a great comedic energy in that movie and I don't think it would be the same without him. Shame he hasn't done more IMO.

This is in Judd Apatow’s book “sick in the head.” It’s a really great read with tons of interviews with legendary comedians.

He and Sandler were roommates in LA before Sandler got the call for SNL.

Crazy. And I don’t think they’ve ever done a movie together.

SweetCosmicPope t1_j9p109s wrote

I’ve never seen him do standup, but it makes sense he’d become more famous as a producer. I do think when listening to him in interviews that he’s far wittier than any of the rest of this bunch, but that doesn’t necessarily translate to standup.

I went to a comedy club in LA with my parents in 1990 and Adan Sandler popped in to do a set. I had no idea who the guy was but I remember my sister and I in tears at what he was saying.

I Vehemently disagree. I was talking to my brother about this the other day and we both agreed for a guy who consistently unspectacular he has had an incredible showbiz career. He basically had 1 good role on snl ( the hollywood report) which wasn't that great to be honest, he only did 1 standup special( the hbo one, which was great), and only made 1 really successful movie which he starred in and that was Tommy Boy. He did some great commericals ( 1800 collect), 3 long televeision series ( just shoot me, rules of engagement, 8 simple rules. That is an incredible career for someone who if they were being honest, wasn't a talented actor nor a great comedian. He is a hard worker, and always has his finger on the pulse of what are the upcoming trends and such. 30 years in showbiz is not easy. Not many comedians can say that.

Antha1969 t1_j9qh2h5 wrote
