David Spade, a former cast member of “Saturday Night Live,” is reflecting on his past characters on the show, including a frequently asked question about the roles he portrayed. Spade discussed playing a receptionist character who came across as aloof and was often mistaken for being gay. His co-host and former “SNL” co-star Dana Carvey jokingly asked why Spade’s mom would think that about his character, to which Spade responded with a serious note, acknowledging the perception.
During his time on “SNL,” Spade played a receptionist who didn’t recognize famous celebrities, including MC Hammer. The actor’s characters were more about his personality at the time, rather than being masculine or feminine, according to Carvey. Additionally, Spade played a character in the sitcom “Just Shoot Me!” where his character was suspected of being gay by his fireman father.
Spade’s comedic performances were praised by his co-stars, who credited him with bringing life to their projects. The actor saw an opportunity to join the cast of “Just Shoot Me!” and add his element of goofiness to the show. The sitcom’s co-star George Segal noted that the show did not come together until Spade joined the cast, calling him the spark that brought the show to life.
