Title: Dana Carvey on Saturday Night Live, What was his best?
Post by: bluesman67 on March 01, 2007, 08:07:21 AM
Does anyone miss watching Dana Carvey on Saturday Night Live?  He made everything funny.  All the different characters he played were hysterical.  Tough call for me, but I could never get enough of his Ross Perot impression.  "Can I have a minute?  Can I have a minute?  Can I huh?  Can I can I huh?  See, now that's just what I'm talking' about." :roll

I miss the early Eddie Murphy/Joe Piscapo days.  Then there was that magical season with Billy Crystal, Christopher Guest and Harry Shearer...I hate it when that happens...you look mahvelous...Billy doing Sammy Davis Jr.

While I love SNL, I still think SCTV was better... :whistling:

:+1: that was funny.  "You look marvelous!"  What about Eddy Murphy and Joe Piscapo doing a Stevie Wonder and Joe Sinatra duet?  Priceless.

Oh, and Phil Hartman...they don't make 'em much funnier than that!  On SNL he was outstanding, News Radio, he was an awesome character and then on the Simpsons, he was Lionel Hutz, attorney at law and Troy McClure...you might remember me from such educational films as...classic stuff.
