He’s Made Some Comedy Enemies
Although comedy can bring people together, it can also have a polarizing effect. While some people love Spade’s dry wit, one famous person isn’t a fan at all. During his “Hollywood Minute” sketch, Spade called Eddie Murphy a “falling star,” and Murphy wasn’t happy about it.

While Murphy is not Spade’s only enemy, the comment during his sketch caused them not to speak to each other for 20 years. Although it caused him to burn some bridges, Spade didn’t stop making comments about celebrities just because they got offended by his words.
