It’s a different version of that, like a burrito is sort of a taco. “I’ve turned into one of the idiots now, so it’s a little different, but I still like to make fun of what’s going on like I always have. “I think the Hollywood Minute worked for me because I was an unknown and just this very young-looking kid on SNL taking big swings at people that were big stars was a funny dynamic,” he said. Instead, we can expect a pipeline of well-established and rising stars from The Comedy Store (Spade’s show and the historic venue share a booker) who just want to talk and laugh, peppered with a few bits and field pieces, sometimes involving bigger names-Amy Schumer and Dana Carvey have both stopped in during the show's first week.Īnd even though you can draw some parallels between his new show to how Spade first started out, zinging celebrities on the Hollywood Minute, he’s the first to admit that a lot has changed since he first started critiquing the entertainment world, even though, in another way, nothing has changed. “I don’t want to be the ninth person to interview some big star about their new movie, because I’m on late and I know the drill.” “I want all the people I know and I think are funny to come in,” he said. The show will have a traditional opening monologue, where Spade’s stand-up skills will shine, followed by a panel discussion with fellow comedians-with people like Theo Von, Whitney Cummings, Neal Brennan, Jim Jefferies and Jim Gaffigan expected to stop in during the first season.
