David's doing a good thing
with his Instagram. In fact,
I noticed that you're doing these
monologues now on Instagram,
which I think is a great idea. And
I really like your whole vibe there.
You're just kind of reading jokes.
You got your paper in front of you and
you're commenting on the jokes and I
think it really suits you. And I
see people are responding to it.
You got like a couple of million
people following you now.
Thank you. That's fun to do. I
do it because I did that show.
Lights Out. Yeah. But what,
what is going on with that show?
Well,
I started doing it in the pandemic in my
place and I was interviewing people and
they said, we're not going to, uh, it
doesn't look like we're bringing you back.
And so I just said,
so two other places have
called me to say if it's not,
maybe come over here and do it and we'll
change the name. And I said, Oh, okay.
So I said,
I'm just going to use my monologues to
keep my sanity and to keep me something
to do in the morning.
So wait, you're telling me something new?
Is this generally known that you're
not doing Lights Out with David Spade
anymore? I mean, I didn't know that.
Yeah. I told all the
comedians know. And uh, so
Are you happy? Or depressed?
No, not really. I listen. I liked the
show and it was hard to do, but I like it.
But if one of these other two
places wants to do it, we'll do it.
But if not, I might do
some version, just my own.
If you've got like over 2
million followers on Instagram
and you're doing these
monologues,
why don't they just sell a
couple of ads or something?
Yeah.
Most of the stuff on Instagram does better
than a cable show because cable shows
can get between two hundred thousand
to seven hundred thousand viewers.
And you're like, I can get that on a
video. You know what I mean? So you go,
if that's what they're really after.
Imagine if like I watch a thing,
they ran a 30 second ad at the top
of that monologue. You'd do that.
I'd sit there through that
to watch your monologue.
That's nice. You could
struggle through that.
Do they let you do that on Instagram?
Do they let you sell your own ads?
Well, how are they going to stop you?
Imagine David gets on and goes, Hey,
everybody, I'm here for vaginosis cream.
