Making a Comeback
In the mid-2000s, Spade had a show called The Showbiz Show with David Spade on Comedy Central. After three seasons, it was canceled, and the producers weren’t too happy about it. They said Spade lost interest and treated the show too casually, like he didn’t care.

Spade’s constant jokes and short videos kept going on social media, which put him back on the radar of Comedy Central. They ended up asking him to do another show making fun of pop culture. It began airing in 2019 and was called Lights Out with David Spade.
