For the number of things he’s done with Netflix in the last 5 years, it’s surprising that David Spade has yet to have a special on the streamer. He’s had his own show that he co-hosted and even been in a few movies. Well, that’s all about to change.
In the trailer for his new special, Nothing Personal he talks about not wanting to hug anymore, wanting to sound 27, and having friends with old-sounding names. It also marks the first time the Joe Dirt star has done a new special in a few years. So we look forward to seeing what he does with it!
Spade serves as executive producer alongside Marc Gurvitz, Alex Murray and John Irwin. The special is directed by Ryan Polito.
David Spade was a cast member on Saturday Night Live in the 1990s, and he later began an acting career in both film and television. He also starred or co-starred in the films Tommy Boy (1995), Black Sheep (1996), Joe Dirt (2001), Dickie Roberts: Former Child Star (2003), The Benchwarmers (2006), The Ridiculous 6 (2015), The Do-Over (2016), and The Wrong Missy (2020). He has been part of an ensemble cast of two long-running sitcoms: Just Shoot Me! (1997–2003) and Rules of Engagement (2007–2013). Additionally, he starred as C. J. Barnes in the sitcom 8 Simple Rules (2004–2005). Spade hosted a late-night talk show Lights Out with David Spade, which premiered on July 29, 2019. Spade’s comedic style, in both his stand-up material and acting roles, relies heavily on sarcasm and self-deprecation.
Spade is coming off a run as guest host on Bachelor In Paradise. He recently starred in the Netflix original comedy The Wrong Missy, which was the No. 1 movie on the platform in the days following its 2020 release and was the eighth most-watched original movie in the company’s history. Also on Netflix, he was seen in the original comedy Father of the Year, one of the highest streamed films globally on the service, as well as The Do-Over, opposite Adam Sandler and Paula Patton, which was one of the streamer’s biggest original film releases.
While Nothing Personal is Spade’s first Netflix comedy special, he has had several standup comedy specials, most recently on Comedy Central with David Spade: My Fake Problems.
