Shout out to Spade for staying himself in spite of everything. One of my favorite comics ever

"I never do well with women".  Monkey immediately runs to Spade.😂😂

I love how the monkey got scared and ran into Davids lap

7:50 was adorable

Spade is a natural, funny guy, love him

‘I like animals- there I said it-‘
loll

I can't believe they allowed that Siberian tiger on the stage

So cool how Jay isn't afraid to get involved with the animals.

I clicked on this to see a David Spade interview, and was suddenly watching an animal show, with Spade roped in to supervise a spider monkey while Leno risked his life feeding a tiger. I didn't see any of that coming!

Leno was fucking insane to get so close to that tiger. I wouldn't even be that familiar with someone's house cat I was meeting for the first time, never mind a goddamn Siberian tiger that weighed 300 pounds!

Why is the audience so sedated? David Spade is hilarious. Also, I can't believe Jay risked it with that tiger. They are beautiful but not worth doinking around with.

Jay leno has balls the size of watermelons for getting in that tigers face and handling it so smoothly. It's actually unbelievable they let a tiger go on stage near the audience. It could have ended badly!

Spade is like wtf lol

I LOVE two things here..David Spade and Octopi.

read David's book--very funny and honest story of how he got to be where he is--it wasn't easy or smooth

Spade is such a little smart alec--I love the guy. He is just hilarious. Self-deprecating and cocky at the same time, always funny. One of the best talk show guests.

Apparently human females arent the only ones who can't resist Spade's charm

Never knew the two of them are honestly good with animals!

They walked a SIBERIAN TIGER through the audience! And Leno fed it!? This "expert" from Busch Gardens probably died a month later in a tragic Liger feeding incident.

this before had knew that chris farley was gone
