On another note, it was a joy to see David Spade back on SNL. The comedian was a central cast member in the early to mid 1990s, and while he’s had a great career playing a key role on numerous sitcoms and cranking out some underrated movie gems, there’s a segment of the population that will always remember him most fondly on Saturday Night Live.

The comedian-actor, who was a castmember on the NBC sketch comedy show from 1990 to 1996, recently told Dana Carvey on their Fly on the Wall podcast that he was shocked by how the show’s new kids speak to Michaels, as the dynamic was much different during his time on the show.

Former 'SNL' member David Spade joked he's so old he recalls a time when he and his colleagues treated Lorne Michaels more as a boss than a friend.

David Spade is freaking floored that the current cast of SNL just casually texts Lorne Michaels and don’t even address him as “sir.” ( THR) Ryan Reynolds insists he didn’t “berate” Justin Baldoni, which is weird because he had every freaking right to and should have. ( Celebitchy)

Spade and fellow "Saturday Night Live" alum couldn't believed how chummy some of the current "SNL" cast are with the big boss.

Lorne Michaels created Saturday Night Live and has guided the show through 50 years of comedy. He knows what works and what doesn't, so when one cast member ignored Michaels' note, it carried a heavy consequence.
