What I really like about these interactions David has, is that they are 100% genuine. You can tell Jim is himself and he feels comfortable. He's speaking openly to a friend, a person and a human. It's also great to see that Jim seems to be in a better place now. Money and fame is not equal to happiness. At the end of the day we are all human beings with our own problems and views of the world.

Two of my favorite comedians. I Met a guy from Australia once. In making small talk he asked what my favorite movie was, I thought about it and said, Joe Dirt. He laughed and said freakin Joe Dirt. Good memory haha. It’s also nice to see comedians interview comedians. I’ve noticed they are more likely to be themselves and does not make it awkward when they say a joke. There is a sense of understanding and respect and they have for one another.

[@quixotictambourine9698]

David Spade should just do one on one. Brings out the best in him!

[@gabereiser]

The fact that Carrey DIDN'T join SNL but instead landed on In Living Color was one of the reasons ILC did so well. That and Jaime Fox. But his characters on ILC were so good and so outlandish that I don't think they would have made it on SNL. He's comedy lifted the bar on all the sketches on ILC. Wayan's brothers and Fox were good too but Carrey was just a rocketship.

[@StuUngar]

Jamie Foxx wasn’t a huge name bc of ILC, nor was he ever the main player. The big breakouts initially were Jim Carrey and Damon Wayans. Outside of Wanda…and to a lesser extent, Carl “The Tooth” Williams, Jamie Foxx didnt even have any good characters. When people talk about ILC, they always bring up Jamie Foxx, but thats bc he has become a big name after he started appearing in big budget films like Ali, Collateral, and Ray. But David Alan Grier, Tommy Davidson, Kelly Coffield, and Tommy Davidson were all bigger contributors to that show than Foxx.

[@gardenlover9663]

Failing his SNL audition was the best thing that ever happened to Jim Carrey, as it made him realize that he needed to develop his own characters instead of just impersonating other people.

[@joanneweiss3864]

I'm 62, watched Spade grow up, never really liked his humor except in the SNL sketches. Didn't like his movies either, just not my style, same w Sandler even. But now, just like w Sandler's recent (OSCAR WORTHY) movies & phenomenal standup, through Lights Out I am now a HUGE Spade fan!! Maturity has brought a low-key consistent brilliance & hilariously consistent comedy to everything he does on here, even as a great interviewer! Can't see Adam doing this, but David has really found an entire new groove & group of fans, like me! Now I've been watching & really appreciating his previous stuff, esp his standup. Plus, he's gotten really hot😁Very sexy, smooth, & comfortable with himself & his easy humor, doesn't need to try as hard do not goofy, I adore him & can't get enough..... REALLY needs a Netflix special now like Sandler & Murphy👍😍 Feel same about Carrey's comfortable, funny, non-goofy, less extreme comic maturity as well, Kidding is freaking brilliant!! Both these guys are super-comics🙌👏
