“I was just basically sitting at the writers’ room, bored, reading People magazine, commenting about what was going on in the world, and just making fun of everyone,” Spade recalled in the SNL oral history Live From New York. “Someone was like, ‘Why don’t you just do that on the show? That’s what you’re good at.’” And that’s what he did.

“Hi. First off, your dad is nuts. Secondly, let me tell you something kid: You’re cute. You got blond hair. Everyone loves you. It’s true. Here’s the catch: I used to look exactly like you when I was 10. This is where you’re headed, buddy! Welcome to hell!”
Princess Diana“In one of Princess Di’s love letters to her boyfriend James Hewitt, she wrote, “I need your kisses. I need your body. I need loving.” Sure, it’s embarrassing, but it did get her a job writing songs for Journey.”
Michael Bolton
“Big star, popular musician. But guess what? You’re bald, and we all know it. I don’t care how long you’re growing your hair on the back, we know what’s happening on top. I know you sold 9 million albums, but guess what? I don’t know anybody that has one.”
“Hi, I’m Iggy Pop. Has anyone seen five quarts of blood? It was in my body when I left the house five years ago.”
Chevy Chase
