David Spade was shocked by current SNL cast being so lax with Lorne Michaels: 'That floors me'

David Spade was shocked to see how casual and familiar the current 'SNL' cast are with Lorne Michaels, with some even texting him directly: 'That floors me'

Spade expanded upon the anecdote, remembering that "Lorne was giving notes when I did Hunter Biden" on the Dec. 7 episode of the long-running comedy program. He's taken SNL to 21 Emmy awards, succesfully staved off cancelation across six decades, and hand-picked and mentored future superstars like Eddie Murphy, Tina Fey, Julia Louis Dreyfus, and Conan O'Brien. He's a legend in both comedy and television, and it takes a strong character to forge such an impressive path in the industry.
