Now with a wit as dry as the weather in his home state of Arizona the comic brat extraordinaire tells his story in Almost Interesting.First taking fans back to his childhood as a wannabe cool younger brother and recounting his excruciating road-tour to famewhen 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 mothers old suitcase full of props. He also covers his years on SNL during the beloved Rock/Sandler/Farley era of the 1990s including his close working relationship and friendship with Chris Farley and brags about the ridiculous perks that fame has brought into his life including the constant fear of being fired a crazy ex-assistant who attacked him while he was sleeping a run-in with Eddie Murphy on the mean streets of Beverley Hills and of course an endless supply of hot chicks. Sometimes dirty always funny and as sharp as a tack Almost Interesting reminds you why David Spade is one of our generations favorite funny guys.
