Why David Spade doesn’t joke about Trump

David Spade doesn’t do Trump jokes. Not because of his own political leanings, but because he says it’s seems like cheating.

“If you just go in a comedy club and go, ‘Trump, man,’ they’ll just applaud,” Spade told KIRO Radio’s Dori Monson. “I’m not saying it’s corny. I’m just saying it’s almost halfway there anyway.”

“I’d rather just stay away from it,” he said.

Listen to the full interview here. Spade will be at Benaroya Hall on Monday, Jan. 22 for “Adam Sandler & Friends,” also featuring Nick Swardson and Rob Schneider.
