In case you haven't heard, David Spade has a new show called Light's Out with David Spade. And one of the bits on that show is "Secret Stand-up" where he feeds jokes to another person who performs on stage. And he got Robert O'Neill, the Navy SEAL who claims the bin Laden kill, onto the stage at the world-famous Comedy Store.


The Navy SEAL Who Killed bin Laden Makes His Stand-Up Debut - Lights Out with David Spade

The video is available above, and Spade and Whitney Cummings give him some seriously edgy jokes to say, going from his sex life to the raid on Abbottabad to 9/11 with barely a beat. (And children probably shouldn't watch the clip, but we don't actually have the power to stop you. If you do watch it and don't understand a joke, avoid image search when looking for the explanation.)

And you can tell that O'Neill really enjoys some of the jokes, because he hears them through an earpiece right before he has to deliver the line. He sometimes has to fight through his own laughter to deliver the punch line that he's just heard from the real comedians.

O'Neill has 11 awards for valor and served on SEAL Teams Two and Four before being selected for the Naval Special Warfare Development Group (commonly known as SEAL Team Six). He left the Navy in 2012 after 16 years of service and having shot bin Laden. Everyone wants to end their career on that kind of high note.

Now, O'Neill is a media personality and public speaker, usually appearing on Fox News where he provides military expertise.

David Spade is returning to TV. For anyone young enough to not remember him, you probably shouldn't watch the clip. It includes a lot of adult language. But Spade is probably best known for his roles in Joe Dirt, Tommy Boy, and Saturday Night Live. He's performed in dozens of other movies and shows including The Hotel Transylvania and Grown Ups series.
