Spade attended Saguaro High School and later Scottsdale Community College before transferring to Arizona State University and dropping out shortly thereafter since he was making a decent living doing stand-up.{{Cite news|last=Myers|first=Marc|date=2019-09-10|title=Too Cool for School, David Spade Turned to Comedy|language=en-US|work=The Wall Street Journal|url=https://www.wsj.com/articles/too-cool-for-school-david-spade-turned-to-comedy-11568125832|access-date=2022-02-03|issn=0099-9660}} He also was a member of the Sigma Alpha Epsilon fraternity.{{cite web|url=http://www.sae.net/index.asp?r=fraternity&sr=facts&ssr=facts |title=Facts and History|publisher=Sigma Alpha Epsilon|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20071214135944/http://www.sae.net/index.asp?r=fraternity&sr=facts&ssr=facts |archive-date=December 14, 2007 }} Spade performed standup at the university's long-running sketch comedy show, Farce Side Comedy Hour, on numerous occasions.

File:David Spade 1 (cropped).jpg
Spade began performing stand-up comedy after dropping out of college. After being spotted by a talent agent while performing at The Improv in Los Angeles he was cast in the 1987 film Police Academy 4.{{Cite web|url=http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0005450/bio|title=David Spade|website=IMDb}} With the help of friend and fellow comedian Dennis Miller, he joined Saturday Night Live in 1990. Spade started as a writer and eventually moved up to cast member. While there, he became known for his brand of sarcasm, and his characters in a number of sketches were hits. Some of them include a flight attendant for "Total Bastard Airlines" who bids a dismissive "Buh-Bye" to each passenger upon disembarking; a receptionist for Dick Clark who, as a matter of policy, asks people indiscriminately, "And you are?"; and the quick-witted "Hollywood Minute" reporter who roasts celebrities with personal one-liners. Other characters include Christy Henderson from the Gap Girls and Karl from the Karl's Video sketches. He also did impressions of various celebrities, including Brad Pitt and Michael J. Fox. According to interviews with Spade, most of the material that he wrote early in his time at SNL was given to Dana Carvey to perform on the show. Spade, alongside Chris Farley, Chris Rock, Adam Sandler and Rob Schneider were known as the "Bad Boys" of SNL.{{cite web | url=https://www.theringer.com/2019/09/11/tv/adam-sandler-chris-farley-90s-comedies-billy-madison-tommy-boy-snl | title=Comedy in the '90s, Part 3: The Bad Boys of 'Saturday Night Live' | date=September 11, 2019 }}
After the major cast overhaul following the 1994–1995 season, Spade agreed to remain on the show for the 1995–96 season to serve as a bridge between the former cast and new cast members Will Ferrell, Molly Shannon, and Cheri Oteri. During this season, Spade was given a weekly segment called "Spade in America" which was a spin-off of his "Hollywood Minute" and "Weekend Update" commentaries. On December 9, 1995, Spade revived "Hollywood Minute" inside one of his "Spade in America" segments; Spade joked, "Look, children, it's a falling star. Make a wish!" next to a picture of former Saturday Night Live cast member Eddie Murphy.{{cite web |title=Spade in America CLIP 12/09/95 |url=https://www.nbc.com/saturday-night-live/video/spade-in-america/n10776 |website=nbc.com |publisher=NBC |access-date=October 15, 2019 |date=December 9, 1995}} The one-liner referred to Murphy's lack of recent box office success, especially the bomb Vampire in Brooklyn. The quip made Murphy turn against both Spade and SNL for several years afterward.{{cite web |title=Lorne Michaels Admits Infamous SNL Eddie Murphy Crack Was a Mistake |url=http://www.mediabistro.com/fishbowlny/eddie-murphy-david-spade-hollywood-minute-saturday-night-live-lorne-michaels_b194719 |work=FishbowlNY |first=Richard |last=Horgan |date=April 17, 2013}} Spade wrote in his 2015 memoir that he received an angry phone call from Murphy two days later at the SNL offices; the two did not reconcile until a chance meeting in 2011.{{cite web |last1=Spade |first1=David |title=David Spade: This is why Eddie Murphy hated me, wouldn't come back to "Saturday Night Live" |url=https://www.salon.com/2015/10/20/david_spade_this_is_why_eddie_murphy_hated_me_wouldnt_come_back_to_saturday_night_live/ |website=Salon.com |publisher=Dey Street Books |access-date=October 15, 2019 |date=2015}}{{cite web |last1=Reed |first1=Ryan |title=David Spade Recalls Intense Eddie Murphy Feud in Memoir Excerpt |url=https://www.rollingstone.com/culture/culture-news/david-spade-recalls-intense-eddie-murphy-feud-in-memoir-excerpt-193175/ |website=rollingstone.com |publisher=Rolling Stone |access-date=October 15, 2019 |date=October 21, 2015}} Spade left SNL in 1996.

Spade starred with fellow Saturday Night Live cast member Chris Farley in two buddy comedy films, Tommy Boy (1995) and Black Sheep (1996), both of which were distributed by Paramount Pictures. The two were planning a third film together, but Farley died of a drug overdose in 1997 at the age of 33 and thus it was cancelled. When Spade declined to attend Farley's funeral, rumors abounded that there had been a falling out between the two. Spade stated that their friendship had been under some tension, partly because of Farley's drug problem and reckless lifestyle, which Spade admittedly could not keep up with. However, it never escalated to ill will, and that the reason he did not attend the funeral was simply because he could not handle it emotionally.{{cite magazine|last1=Grow|first1=Kory|title=David Spade Explains Why He Didn't Attend Chris Farley's Funeral|url=https://www.rollingstone.com/movies/news/david-spade-explains-why-he-didnt-attend-chris-farleys-funeral-20140430|magazine=Rolling Stone|access-date=February 24, 2018|date=April 30, 2014|archive-date=December 23, 2017|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20171223220216/https://www.rollingstone.com/movies/news/david-spade-explains-why-he-didnt-attend-chris-farleys-funeral-20140430|url-status=dead}}
===1997–2018: Sitcoms success and film roles ===
Although he received several offers to star in his own TV shows, he turned them down and joined the ensemble cast of Steven Levitan's office sitcom Just Shoot Me!, opposite Laura San Giacomo and George Segal, which ran for seven seasons from 1997 to 2003. He played a sarcastic receptionist, Dennis Finch. In 1998, Spade appeared with Marlon Wayans in the buddy comedy film Senseless and voiced Ranger Frank in The Rugrats Movie. In 2000, he provided the voice of Kuzco in Disney's buddy comedy film, The Emperor's New Groove (2000) and would later reprise the role in its direct-to-video sequel Kronk's New Groove (2005).
While appearing on Just Shoot Me, Spade had his first solo starring role as the title character in the 2001 film Joe Dirt, which was a modest box office success. The film was co-written by Spade and Fred Wolf. Spade starred again in the 2003 film Dickie Roberts: Former Child Star, again co-written by Spade and Wolf. These were the first of many films in which Spade has appeared that were produced by another Saturday Night Live castmate, Adam Sandler. Most notable among these are the films Grown Ups (2010) and Grown Ups 2 (2013), both of which included Spade and Sandler among the lead roles, and both of which were major box office hits. Other collaborations with Sandler include Grandma's Boy (2006), The Benchwarmers (2006), I Now Pronounce You Chuck & Larry (2007), Jack & Jill (2011), Joe Dirt 2 (2015), The Ridiculous 6 (2015), The Do-Over (2016), The Wrong Missy (2020), as well as voicing Griffin the Invisible Man in the Hotel Transylvania film series (2012–2022).
Spade hosted both the Teen Choice Awards and SpikeTV's Video Game Awards in 2003. He voiced characters on several episodes of Beavis and Butt-Head and produced his own TV series Sammy in 2000. From 2002 to 2006, Spade regularly appeared in commercials for Capital One (with Nate Torrence) where he played the employee of a fictional rival company whose policy toward honoring credit card rewards (and just about everything else) is "always no". In 2004, he joined the cast of 8 Simple Rules, following the death of the sitcom's star, John Ritter, for the show's third and final season. He hosted the Comedy Central TV show The Showbiz Show with David Spade for three seasons, from September 2005 to October 2007. On the show, Spade made fun of Hollywood and celebrities in a manner similar to his old "Hollywood Minute" segment on SNL.[https://archive.today/20070811085702/http://www.tvseriesfinale.com/2007/10/the_showbiz_show_with_david_spade_comedy_central_s.php The Showbiz Show with David Spade: Comedy Central Series Cancelled], TVSeriesFinale.com.
