A hilarious and biting memoir from the actor, comedian andย Saturday Night Liveย alumni David Spade.
David Spade is best known for his harsh โHollywoodโ Minute Sketches onย SNL, his starring roles in movies likeย Joe Dirtย andย Tommy Boy, ย and his seven-year stint as Dennis Finch on the seriesย Just Shoot Me.ย Now, with a wit as dry as the weather in his home state of Arizona, the โcomic brat extraordinaireโ tells his story inย Almost Interesting.
First Taking fans back to his childhood as a wannabe cool younger brother and recounting his excruciating road-tour to fameโwhen he was regularly mistaken for a ten year-old, Spade then dishes about his time crisscrossing the country as a comedian, for low-paying gigs and dragging along his motherโs old suitcase full of props. He also covers his years onย SNLย during the beloved Rock/Sandler/Farley era of the 1990s, including hisย close working relationship and friendship with Chris Farleyย and brags about the ridiculous perks that fame has brought into his life, including the constant fear of being fired,ย a crazy ex-assistant who attacked him while he was sleeping, a run-in with Eddie Murphy on the mean streets of Beverly Hills, and of course an endless supply of hot chicks. ย
Sometimes dirty, always funny, and as sharp as a tack,ย Almost Interestingย reminds you why David Spade is one of our generationโs favorite funny guys.
