David Spade has made an actor’s living as the creepy letch who pretends he’s way younger that his 40 or so, solely as a technique to snag hot babes.
Turns out he’s even creepier in real life than what he played on TV
His most recent commercial for DirecTV matches him with the ghostly superimposed Chris Farley during their Tommy Boy turn.
Except now Spade looks 45 in addition to being 45.
And no, there appears to be no nobler ulterior involvement, such as arguing against overindulgence and a dissolute lifestyle which did in Farley, or perhaps donating proceeds to some charity. This is a cash deal, baby. Creepy is the new greedy, I guess.

Doing David Letterman

By Steve Rhodes

I used to be a huge David Letterman fan – long before he had a late night show. Letterman started on network TV with a morning show that was as brilliant as anything that’s ever been on TV; just like his late night show was in its early years, the morning show was as much a parody of morning shows as it was for real. I bailed on Letterman years ago, though, when his late night show became too fratty – and too much like the very thing he once slyly and savagely parodied. You know, he became like Leno.
To wit:
1. Animal psychic segment.
