David Spade Got Pitched ‘Tommy Boy’ Sequel Two Years Ago and Rejected It: ‘I Can’t Imagine It’ Without Chris Farley. ‘It Would Be Too Much of a Sell Out’

David Spade says he was pitched "Tommy Boy 2" a few years ago, but making it would not be right without Chris Farley.

David Spade recently appeared on Theo Von’s podcast and revealed he was pitched an idea to make a sequel to “ Tommy Boy,” his 1995 buddy comedy with the late Chris Farley. When his father dies, Farley’s character teams up with Spade’s accountant to try and save the family business. Although the film was not a box office hit (it grossed only $32 million worldwide), it became a cult classic thanks to its home video release.
