TV.com summary

The Showbiz Show with David Spade is a weekly television program on Comedy Central that stars David Spade. It is a comedic parody of celebrity news programs such as Entertainment Tonight and Access Hollywood. The show was developed from David Spade's Hollywood Minute segment on Saturday Night Live.

Each episode features Spade commenting and poking fun at the week's entertainment news. Spade's comedy on the show makes abundant use of biting one-liners that usually insult celebrities:

“ Michael Jackson is selling his Neverland Ranch -- apparently now that it's 15 years old he doesn't find it attractive anymore. ”

The show also features comedians Brian Posehn, Andrew Daly, Scott Adsit, Nick Swardson and Jessi Klein as entertainment correspondents. Rob Lowe occasionally appears between commercial breaks to tell a joke with a deadpan expression.

The show debuted on September 17, 2005. First season episodes aired Thursdays at 10:30 p.m. ET through the end of December. The second season debuted on March 23, 2006 and ended on June 29. Midway through the season, the show was moved a half-hour earlier to 10:00 p.m.

The show's third season began on March 15, 2007 at 10:30 p.m.

  • The show was originally going to be a daily show titled Gone Hollywood and hosted by Greg Giraldo with David Spade as executive producer. After the pilot was completed, Comedy Central approached Spade to host the show as well as produce. Spade agreed to host if the show was changed to a weekly show.
  • A similar pilot titled The Hollywood Show with Brian Unger was produced by Comedy Central simultaneously with this show's pilot. When it was not picked up, The Hollywood Show became the new title for this show. Spade suggested The Showbiz Show.
