Yesterday on The Tonight Show, James Spader shared a story with Jimmy Fallon that is so classic, it is almost too crazy to be true.
Spader and John F Kennedy Jr went to high school together and remained friends. One time JFK Jr invited the Blacklist star to his house and they had a “festive day” together. As dinner time was approaching, Spader sat down on the couch and ate a whole bowl of pistachios. I guess that was too much for him because he wound up throwing them all up all over his dish at the dinner table when they were eating in front of his friend, his sister Caroline and their mother the former First Lady Jackie Onassis. The classy lady then told him, “Good shot, Jim!”
He then excused himself from the table to clean himself up. When he got back to the table, JFK Jr couldn’t stop laughing and was leaning back on his chair. His mother told him to stop because they were expensive. He didn’t and eventually the chair fell backwards, and he landed on the floor laughing. His mother was not amused and scolded him with, “Dammit John, if I told you once, I told you a dozen times, do not lean back in those chairs. Now see what’s happened. Look what you’ve done. It’s just so rude.” He bounced up with a huge grin and said, “Jimmy just threw up at the table!”
What an amazing story. You can’t nor would you want to make up an experience like that. But what an experience. To do something so disgusting in front of the classiest First Lady the US has ever had has to be something you can never live down. But it is an epic story you want to share with the world and I am so glad he did.
