Dana Carvey May 4, 2012

From “Wayne’s World” & “Saturday Night Live”

Emmy-award winning comedian Dana Carvey has maintained an illustrious career. A repertory member of “Saturday Night Live”, Carvey left after seven seasons. Carvey is best known for his characters the Church Lady; Hans, of the Hans and Franz body building duo; Garth, Wayne Campbell’s (Mike Myers) ‘Excellent Co-Host’ on the immensely popular sketch ‘Wayne’s World,’ and Weekend Updates Grumpy Old Man. In addition to these characters, Dana has received widespread praise for his uncanny comedic impersonations of such political figures as Ex-President George Bush, H. Ross Perot, Jerry Brown, David Duke and Bob Dole. He also does impersonations of George Burns, Johnny Carson, Jimmy Stewart, John McLaughlin, Andy Rooney, Casey Casem, and Regis Philbin. Dana performed stand-up in his own one hour comedy special on HBO aptly named “Critics Choice ****.” He then recorded his second solo comedy special for HBO entitled “Dana Carvey: Squatting Monkeys Tell No Lies.” Carvey appeared in the blockbuster film “Wayne’s World,” based on the hit “Saturday Night Live” sketch. The public demanded a sequel and Carvey appeared in “Wayne’s World 2,” recreating his role of Garth, alongside Mike Myers’ Wayne. The film was hugely successful. Carvey’s transfer from the small screen to the large screen included roles in Alan Parker’s “The Road To Wellville,” for Columbia Pictures, Richard and Lili Zanuck’s “Clean Slate” for MGM, and Twentieth Century Fox’s “Trapped In Paradise.” He starred in “The Master of Disguise” comedy fantasy for the whole family which features Carvey in 36 different identities and speaking 14 different languages as the hapless and heroic Pistachio Disguisey.
