David
Spade
is best known for his harsh "Hollywood Minute" comedy sketches on Saturday Night Live, his roles in the movies Joe Dirt, Joe Dirt 2, Grown ups, Grown ups 2, Black Sheep and Tommy Boy, and his seven-year stint as Dennis Finch on the NBC television sitcom series Just Shoot Me.

Sometimes dirty, always funny, and as sharp as a tack, it reminds you why

is one of our favorite funny guys.
