David Spade<\/a> is calling out California’s leadership for the collapse of Hollywood.<\/p>\n

During a recent episode of his podcast, “Fly on the Wall<\/a>,” which he co-hosts with Dana Carvey, the 61-year-old actor and comedian said “the Hollywood industry is dying” and that he’s “just trying to put the blame somewhere.”<\/p>\n

“Dude, I’m so old,” he said. “I was on the lot at, uh, CBS Radford when we were doing ‘Just Shoot Me’… And also they were doing ‘Seinfeld,’ and I’d see him on his bike. It was the greatest lot. Of course, just filed for bankruptcy, the lot. Terrifying in L.A. Thanks, [LA Mayor] Karen Bass. Thanks, [Gov.] Gavin [Newsom].”<\/p>\n

Carvey agreed that “the Hollywood studio system is dying,” and insisted changes need to be made in order to revive it.<\/p>\n

“The amount of productions is dying, and so they have to do something so more production comes back, and that starts with negotiating with the union and also subsidizing the industry tax breaks to compete with Romania,” Carvey said.<\/p>\n

Spade and Carvey are not the only celebrities concerned with the current state of Hollywood and the growing trend of producing movies and TV shows not only in other states, but also in other countries.<\/p>\n

Stars Jon Voight, Sylvester Stallone<\/a> and Mel Gibson were named special ambassadors to Hollywood by President Donald Trump in January 2025, with the hope of bringing the city “BACK\u2014BIGGER, BETTER, AND STRONGER THAN EVER BEFORE!” according to Trump’s post on Truth Social at the time.<\/p>\n

In an interview with Variety<\/a> in May 2025, Voight spoke about the importance of bringing these jobs back to California, and showed his support for Trump’s decision to place 100% tariffs on filming overseas.<\/p>\n

“It\u2019s come to a point where we really do need help, and thank God the president cares about Hollywood and movies,” Voight said. “He has a great love for Hollywood in that way. We\u2019ve got to roll up our sleeves here. We can\u2019t let it go down the drain like Detroit.”<\/a><\/p>\n

When speaking to the outlet, Voight explained that “every studio has a lot of smart people” who have made use of the many benefits “and the gifts that are being given out throughout the world to lure people to different countries.”<\/p>\n

He explained that rather than just “level[ing] the playing field,” Hollywood “need[s] to be competitive” in order to get people back.<\/p>\n

“This shouldn\u2019t be political,” Voight added. “I don\u2019t know the political identities of the people we\u2019ve talked to. We\u2019ve talked to a lot of people here. I don\u2019t distinguish them on their party affiliation. And If we can come up with [a plan that can be executed], he\u2019ll back us. He wants us to be the Hollywood of old. If we all come together, I believe we have a bright future.”<\/p>\n

In a previous statement to Fox News Digital, Voight said he has been in the business long enough to see the “slow deterioration” of Hollywood through the years.<\/p>\n

“I\u2019m old enough to have touched some years of the Golden Age of Hollywood<\/a>, and I\u2019ve seen its slow deterioration since,” he said. “Today, we are in pretty bad shape. Very few films are made here now, but we are fortunate to have an incoming President, who wants to restore Hollywood to its former glory, and with his help, I feel we can get done.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
