In a recent episode of Fly on the Wall podcast, the actor revealed, "I did a character called Receptionist, where I was just being really aloof to people, like, ‘Oh, and you are...? And this is regarding...?' And then people would be like, who's that gay character you play.?'"

"I'm like, 'I don't think it's gay,' they're like, No, you're gay and it's gay and every sketch you're in is a gay person,” the actor stated.

Continuing with an instant humorous response, the podcast co-host, Dana Carvey said, "Why would your mom say that?"

Spade joked back "She thought I was coming out, when I look back, I'm like, yeah, I see it."

"It's just languorous, not any sexual orientation," Carvey concluded.
