Prime Video Announces Premiere Date for David Spade Comedy Special [VIDEO]

Today, Prime Video announced that Emmy® and Golden Globe-nominated actor/comedian David Spade will make his Prime Video stand-up comedy debut with Dandelion, his first special since 2022. David Spade’s newest comedy special will premiere May 6 on Prime Video in more than 240 countries and territories worldwide.

With signature sardonic takes on the perils of flying, charity auctions, and the evolution of porn, Spade is sharper and funnier than ever in Dandelion. Since his legendary tenure on Saturday Night Live, Spade’s prolific career has included classics like Tommy Boy, Black Sheep, The Emperor’s New Groove, Joe Dirt, and the sitcom Just Shoot Me!. He now co-hosts the wildly popular comedy podcast “Fly on the Wall” with fellow SNL alum Dana Carvey. Now, it’s time for Spade to make a triumphant return to the stage in his highly anticipated fourth comedy special.

Spade became a household favorite during his tenure as a cast member on NBC’s Saturday Night Live. For his memorable role as Dennis Finch, the wise-cracking, power-hungry assistant on Just Shoot Me, Spade received nominations for a 1999 Emmy Award®, Golden Globe, and American Comedy Award. His latest stand-up special, Nothing Personal, debuted on Netflix in 2022, and he continues to be a box office draw, selling out stand-up venues nationwide.

Most recently, Spade wrapped production on BUSBOYS, which he stars in and co-wrote with Theo Von. Currently, Spade can be seen on his I Got A Feel For It stand-up tour and heard co-hosting the top ranked podcast Fly on the Wall, alongside fellow SNL alumni Dana Carvey. In each episode, they interview cast members, hosts, writers, and musical guests, as they share never-before-told stories about their careers and SNL‘s cultural history. The podcast premiered #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. The podcast has featured interviews with Sir Paul McCartney, Lorne Michaels, Jimmy Fallon, Martin Short, Tina Fey, Maya Rudolph, Molly Shannon, Tom Hanks, and many more. New episodes are released every Wednesday, everywhere podcasts are available. Spade and Carvey also co-host its spin-off pop culture podcast Superfly.

The special was directed by Spade, and he also serves as a producer, alongside Marc Gurvitz, Alex Murray, and John Irwin.
