“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,” a synopsis for the special reads. “Now, it’s time for Spade to make a triumphant return to the stage in his highly-anticipated fourth comedy special.”
Dandelion will bring Spade’s total number of comedy specials up to four following HBO’s Take the Hit (1998), Comedy Central’s My Fake Problems (2014), and Netflix’s Nothing Personal (2022).
The comedian rose to fame as a writer and cast member on the NBC sketch comedy series Saturday Night Live. Following his tenure on SNL from 1990 to 1996, Spade transitioned into film and television, starring in classics like Tommy Boy, Black Sheep, The Emperor’s New Groove, Joe Dirt, and the sitcom Just Shoot Me!. He can next be seen in Busboys, an upcoming comedy starring Spade and Theo Von as “two friends who “think becoming waiters will solve all of their problems. They are wrong.” Spade and Von wrote the film, which recently wrapped production, and also produce.
Outside of acting, Spade co-hosts the podcast Fly on the Wall alongside fellow SNL alum Dana Carvey. Launched in 2022, the podcast has featured guests including Sir Paul McCartney, Lorne Michaels, Jimmy Fallon, Martin Short, Tina Fey, Maya Rudolph, Molly Shannon, and Tom Hanks.
