In 1995, David made a quip about Vampire in Brooklyn during the show’s Weekend Update segment, noting in part of his fellow alum, “It’s a falling star. Make a wish.”
But as Eddie noted in his documentary Being Eddie, released on Netflix earlier this year, his problem was more so with the show overall and not David himself.
“I was hurt,” Eddie shared in the documentary, per USA Today. “It’s like your alma mater taking a shot at you.”
“The joke had went through all of those channels that the joke has to go through,” he added. “That’s what y’all think of me?…And that’s why I didn’t go back for years.”
However, that’s now all water under the bridge.
“That little friction that I had with SNL was 35 years ago,” Eddie noted of returning as host for the show in 2019. “I don’t have no smoke with no David Spade. It was like, ‘Hey, let me go to SNL and smooth that all out.’ And I did.”
