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.

The comedian was a cast member on the long-running sketch show from 1990 to 1996 Lorne Michaels has softened over the years. David Spade, 60, said on his Fly On the Wall podcast that he is shocked over how the current Saturday Night Live cast members interact with the show's creator.

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.

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

Live Lorne Michaels can make or break someone's career in comedy, and he's been doing it for 50 years. That kind of power can be intimidating, but apparently the current SNL cast has managed to cozy up to Michaels.
