The master of sarcastic, biting wit, David Spade made his mark on SNL with his ‘Hollywood Minute’ segment on ‘Weekend Update,’ where he mercilessly roasted celebrities. His persona was that of a smug, unimpressed observer, a perfect foil for the era’s absurdity. He was also memorable in sketches as the aggressively rude flight attendant and as the straight man to Chris Farley‘s chaotic energy. After SNL, he starred in the long-running sitcoms Just Shoot Me! and Rules of Engagement, proving that his signature brand of snark has had a long and successful shelf life.
