Amazon announced this morning that David Spade: Dandelion — its first comedy special from Spade, and Spade’s first since 2022 — will premiere on Prime Video in more than 240 countries and territories worldwide on May 6.

An Emmy and Golden Globe-nominated alum of Saturday Night Live, Spade has previously released three comedy specials, including Nothing Personal (2022) via Netflix, My Fake Problems (2014) via Comedy Central, and Take the Hit (1998) via HBO. Most recently, he’s been seen on his I Got A Feel For It stand-up tour, as well as popular podcasts Fly on the Wall and Superfly, which he co-hosts with fellow SNL alum Dana Carvey. Fly on the Wall premiered at #1 in the comedy category, and in the top five overall on Apple’s podcast chart, and won Best Comedy Podcast of 2024 at the iHeartRadio Podcast Awards. Guests have included Sir Paul McCartney, Lorne Michaels, Jimmy Fallon, Martin Short, Tina Fey, Maya Rudolph, Molly Shannon, and Tom Hanks, to name just a few.
Previously seen in comedy classics like Tommy Boy, Black Sheep, The Emperor’s New Groove, Joe Dirt, and the sitcom Just Shoot Me!, Spade recently teamed with fellow comic Theo Von on Busboys, a buddy comedy the pair wrote together, in which they star.
