‘Lights Out With David Spade’ Series Premiere Preview
Get ready, America, David Spade (Just Shoot Me, Tommy Boy) is back on Comedy Central with a brand new show called Lights Out With David Spade. Along with a panel of comedian friends, Spade will break down the day’s biggest headlines both in roundtables and in the field, offering his hilarious takes on entertainment, celebrities, and all things apolitical. The series premieres tonight after The Daily Show and will follow Trevor Noah’s show Monday through Thursday every week.
Comedy Central has a long history of politics-driven content (including Colbert Report, Larry Wilmore’s Nightly Show, and Jordan Klepper’s The Opposition), but Spade’s show will be a aberration to the theme. Instead, Spade will focus on pop culture news, while also incorporating sketches and field segments.
This show marks the comic’s second series with Comedy Central. His Showbiz Show with David Spade ran weekly and parodied celebrity-news programs like Access Hollywood and Entertainment Tonight. It lasted for three seasons between 2005 and 2007.
Spade starred on a six-season Saturday Night Live stint and later went on to star in sitcoms Just Shoot Me, 8 Simple Rules, and Rules of Engagement. He’s also renowned for his ’90s films like Tommy Boy, Black Sheep, and Coneheads which he co-starred in alongside his friend, the late Chris Farley.
Lights Out With David Spade joins a crowded late-night game. Stephen Colbert and James Corden reign supreme on CBS; Jimmy Fallon, Seth Meyers, and Lilly Singh dominate NBC; Jimmy Kimmel has a stronghold on ABC; while Samantha Bee and Conan O’Brien air on TBS, and John Oliver, on HBO.
Spade new series joins a growing slate of new and returning series at Comedy Central which includes docu-series Klepper, scripted comedies South Side, Awkwafina, and Robbie; and sketch-comedy series Alternatino with Arturo Castro.
The show is executive produced by Spade, Alex Murray, and Marc Gurvitz. Brad Wollack and Tom Brunelle of Free 90 Media serve as executive producers and showrunners. Frank Sebastiano is head writer and executive producer with Chelsea Davison as supervising producer.
