Best impressionist in SNL history. What he understood about impersonations is (at least in comedy) that it’s not about trying to sound exactly like the person, it’s about finding certain aspects of the person and exaggerating them to the extreme.
I've watched SNL since it first came on t.v. and I got to say that the episodes with Dana Carvey and Phil Hartman had the most consistently funny skits.
Dana is the best one man show I have ever seen, and I have seen them all. He was born to do his stuff. His unique take on life and comedy is unbeatable and funnier than anyone else. His array of impressions will have you in stitches throughout his show. He could charge double for tickets and i would still go every time.
Carvey is an impressionist's impressonist. For him, there's no voice or character which seems beyond his impressionistic reach. Such a remarkable and entertaining talent!
Such awesome, excellent comedy. I had the fortunate opportunity to see him live over 20 years ago in Honolulu at the Sheraton Hotel.It definitely was an unforgettable experience. and a night to remember. Even with no costumes or make up or supporting actors, he held my and everybody else’s attention throughout his whole performance.Dana, love you to pieces. Stay safe and take care. Am so happy to hear that dispite his heart health issues, he is healthy and in good spirits. Yes, he dioes give us his heart and soul. I so love you Dana. You are for sure one of the all time BEST comedians and funniest people ever. Truly a CLASS ACT. Stay well my friend, you definitely are a genius and natural at comedy and also a very humble, beautiful human being 💜 😂.😘.
The energy, the charisma ,the voice, the dialogue, the individuality, the action....,he got it all. ❤ thank you for being born thank you for making me laugh. Dana you are a treasure. Much much respect.
Thank God Dana Carvey is keeping Robin Williams' legacy of incredibly talented, super-funny manic energy comedy alive. Solely due to their enormous talent both Robin as well as Dana could get away with doing routines that lesser talents would be criticized by the "political correctness police" for.
@@lauriefrancisco1084 ....well... maybe I am the Only one who said to myself.. " This guy is getting WAY too close to these dangerous animals.. ( Yeah, they need their space) " ... and he is going to get Seriously Hurt... ...AND look what the f**k Happened. !!
What about Phil Hartman, RIP. Or bill hader or norm McDonald , Jim breuer and I could go on & on & on & on & on & on & on & on & on and that's not even the mention of the woman comedians and how can anyone forget the late great chirs Farley RIP
martin short really?? wheres he been? there can only be one...dana carvey is it....too underrated should be a moviestar his stand up is already legendary if only he transitioned into movies full time like eddie murphy and jim carrey hell even martin lawrence aside from seth mcfarlane in my opinion the best impessionist ever
@@vincentcapitano1121 Sorry Vincent. Martin Short is a comedic genius. He and Steve Martin (another legend) have been selling out their tours for several years now. And I love Dana too. They're all amazing.
"He want 'dis'" Carvey can't go full out "nigga" dialect(political correctness , fear of offending the hypersensitive) but the refusal or inability of the uneducated Negro to pronounce the "th" sound is classic
I was standing backstage next to Dana at a car convention once (he was the MC). The band was telling jokes. He was listening and laughing. Finally someone said "hey Dana tell us a joke". He said "well I don't really tell jokes. I do voices and bits"; but then he said, "I did hear a good joke the other day" and proceeded to tell us one of the funniest jokes I've ever heard.
Agreed. I wish I were either born 25 years earlier or that I were blissfully ignorant of the current state of the world. I miss that feeling of innocence.
I was a teenager in the 1970's and I can vouch that the world then was a much better place relative to now; but we didn't know it at the time because we didn't know how much worse it was going to get! It's all relative. You probably will look back to the present time 40 years from now and think this current time was a time of innocence.
"more innocent times" Ah, yes ...one hearkens back ... Illicit affairs/adultery, child molestation, nuclear annihilation. ... but a few of the subject matter covered in Carvey's routine from that 'innocent' age you long for
Oh my god. So hilarious. Tom Brokaw: "Guber...natorial..." And I love how he slips in the Jay impressions, even one as a dog owner. Jay is like, 'I'm getting attacked here." And Jay responds in kind with the routine heckling, "Apparently the owner is the British nanny." LOl.
Man, Dana really didn't want to talk about what was in his eye. Even though it was an inch long and extremely interesting due to the fact that he probably broke a world record for having something in your eye that long without losing the eye.......
Laughed into tears. The " Gomer Pyle" type accent or maybe Kentucky with a Phd was extremely hysterical to me because it was the exact same feeling I had when first I met a college student from the South a long time ago.
I come back to this video over and over because it’s just that funny! I wonder if he still doing stand up in Las Vegas and other places? Will have to catch his show one of these days…
He (Dana) 'does' Jay a couple of times in this video, almost unnoted. IMO the best one is the 'Hey, say hello to Kevin Eubanks' at 1m56s (and one can hear Kevin lauging) - priceless.
I was always meh about Jay Leno as an interviewer and stand up, but I found him quite emgaging when being interviewed himself. Dana Carvey I have always loved.
The world needs more of Dana!! He was so good on SNL!! Love him

There hegies
+ saying something funny while doing the impression
Many impressionists focus on just the mannerism. Dana always does a fun story/situation
I've watched SNL since it first came on t.v. and I got to say that the episodes with Dana Carvey and Phil Hartman had the most consistently funny skits.
There were so many others for sure. Chris Farley and Bill Murray, a couple of naturals. Murphy and Spade.....:)
Two comic geniuses right there
They were the golden age in my view. Funnier than the original cast.
Gosh I miss Phil Hartman. One of the big tragedy’s of my time. 😓🙏🏼
Absolutely agree 👍
you can see a natural talent -- so effortless and yet brilliant
Dana is the best one man show I have ever seen, and I have seen them all. He was born to do his stuff. His unique take on life and comedy is unbeatable and funnier than anyone else. His array of impressions will have you in stitches throughout his show. He could charge double for tickets and i would still go every time.
One of the best impressionists ever. He rocks.
I LOVE DANA, if you ever need a laugh or a boost just watch 5 min of Dana Carvey and all your troubles are gone. At least for a few minutes.
This had me in stitches! Love Dana Carvey! 🤣
Thanks for the laughs! Ever and always one of my favorite comedians.
Dude has AMAZING energy...light and easy...smart, bounces off negativity...
I couldn’t talk that fast if I tried! Love him!!! 😂😂
I love it when he slips into the Church Lady voice. Lol
One of the funniest comedians and impressionists ever! Wish saw more of hm !
I have never realize how good of a standup comedian he is
I love Dana's face...so cute and sincere
Carvey is an impressionist's impressonist. For him, there's no voice or character which seems beyond his impressionistic reach. Such a remarkable and entertaining talent!
I consider him to be very mediocre.
One of the most underrated stand up comedians in America and the world I love George carlin Dana Carvey and Bill burr
I keep this clip in my saved file, must have seen it at least 30 times. It never fails to crack me up, especially the second segment. Funny stuff!!
I think he combines exuberance and intelligence nicely.
I think he is one of the funniest people ever! I have always loved his talent!

way under-appreciated!
The energy, the charisma ,the voice, the dialogue, the individuality, the action....,he got it all. ❤ thank you for being born thank you for making me laugh. Dana you are a treasure. Much much respect.
Dana Carvey is always hilarious!
LOLOLOL! Dana is definitely my favorite comedian. ALWAYS cracks me up!
Absolute comic genius...always hysterical!!
My favorite late-night guest. Always hilarious!
The gubernatorial bit had me gasping for air!! I thought I was gonna die! 🤣
I’ve been a huge fan ever since he started on SNL. Love you, Dana!
One of those elite comedians who can make me laugh so hard, I cry. Thanks Dana.
he can't stay in his chair just like robin williams couldn't ...
Probably coke
Great talent. Underappreciated. This had me in tears.
Dana at his best. Love it.
haha the dog bit is spot on- they always say 'he's just playing' when it's sprinting towards you
Thank God Dana Carvey is keeping Robin Williams' legacy of incredibly talented, super-funny manic energy comedy alive. Solely due to their enormous talent both Robin as well as Dana could get away with doing routines that lesser talents would be criticized by the "political correctness police" for.
I love Dana, mainly because he just doesn’t really give a f......k what anyone thinks and just is himself! Awesome
who give a fuck...bout you!
You nailed it brother !
@Rose Jenna Prieto Arias who?
@Rose Jenna Prieto Arias who???
You just explained Norm McDonald.
His spot on impersonation of Sir Paul explaining the Mueller report to John Lennon on Howard Stern is pure genius. And funnier than hell.
Love his impression of Steve irwin. RIP Steve
RIP Steve indeed! A truly painful loss for the world!
@@lauriefrancisco1084
....well... maybe I am the Only one who
said to myself.. " This guy is getting WAY too close to these dangerous animals.. ( Yeah, they need their space) "
... and he is going to get Seriously Hurt...
...AND look what the f**k Happened. !!
THANK YOU JESUS!!! I haven't laughed so hard in a while!
His energy was through the roof. It's like Robin Williams lite.
+jetnut89
RIP Robin Williams.
Robin Williams come to my mind too.
The manic energy. Noone beats Wiliams though..he was legendary.
I think it's a combination of high energy and ADHD.
.... Don Rickles and Robin Williams were both truly the speedsters of QUICK - WIT ....
Great energy yeah... well, cocaine is a hell of drug.
Dana Carvey, Robin Williams, Martin Short = The Trifecta of Comedic Genius.
What about Billy Crystal?
What about Phil Hartman, RIP. Or bill hader or norm McDonald , Jim breuer and I could go on & on & on & on & on & on & on & on & on and that's not even the mention of the woman comedians and how can anyone forget the late great chirs Farley RIP

Agreed. They're all great.
Tom Brokaw 7:45 ..” he actually needed oxygen on election night because he said the word ‘gubanatorial’ too many times “ 🤣🤣
The funniest thing on here is around 11:32 to 11:37 when Dana does an impression about Jay having a dog 🐕 😂 I love Dana and all his impressions!
Dana Carvey #rules!! He was best acting like the Church Lady, heels and all!!
Dana was great. I was laughing my ass off. I love the high energy. So much better than the typical question and answer and showing some movie clip.
Dana Carvey has got it.
I can't believe I watched the WHOLE thing!
*"HE WANT THIS, HE WANT THIS!!!" HILARIOUS!*
"He want 'dis'"
Carvey can't go full out "nigga" dialect(political correctness , fear of offending the hypersensitive) but the refusal or inability of the uneducated Negro to pronounce the "th" sound is classic
@@manofiske3318 fuck you 9 months ago
Dana Carvey is actually very intelligent and very informed in real political knowledge not Fake news .
New subscriber imma 80s baby and I still love at age 39! Luv n light from bloody Harlan Kentucky!

Dana carvey is an absolute genius.
He cracks me up every single time.
Omfg he snuck in a Jay Leno impression lmao
Laughed my ass off at the Tom Brokaw bit.
Dana is by far my favorite comedian. He is so damn funny! I hope I can see him some day!
Dana always kills. Just feed him one word and don't engage until he breathes again.
Dana Carvey, may be the funniest of all time.
Yes the funniest
Dana Carvey is pure energy. After Robin Williams, I'm now worried about comedians with this level of energy.
Talent
Very funny and enjoyable...reminds one of more innocent times.
Agreed. I wish I were either born 25 years earlier or that I were blissfully ignorant of the current state of the world. I miss that feeling of innocence.

SelfReflective sounds like you just weren’t paying attention.
@@faithfulchristian9171: Hopefully the world ends before then. I hate the 21st century.
I would love to see Dana and Jim Carey in a sitcom 2gether.
That I would love to see.

Genius

The barking dog was incredible!...scary... and dead on... and, of course, funny. Genius!
Excellent work
Greatest of all times !
Love Dana! :)
did you ever see the film he did where he'd lost his memory so every day was a a restart? right funny!
LOVE KEVIN'S LAUGH.....
Oh my gosh. Original comedians from back in the day.
I love him. Similar to Robin Williams and them....whoever "them" are?
Miss Mr. Williams.

DC is brilliant
a pretty accurate summary of maury haha
Jay's such a great and giving host.
One of the best actors out there
Laughed into tears.

Miss-sippi.
One of my favorite Dana Carvey moments is when he jirates his hips in Wayne's World!!!! Freaking classic.
I come back to this video over and over because it’s just that funny! I wonder if he still doing stand up in Las Vegas and other places? Will have to catch his show one of these days…
He is one of the best!

Turtle... he's fine.
Im Fine!!
Turtle!!
LOL
He’s got to work on a Sam Rockwell impression, he’s got the face already.
Dana is underrated....he is too funny.
Funny man ,love your humor .
I love Dana carvey 😍😍😍😍
I miss Dana. Its like seeing/watching never ending, hyper energetic guy. No wonder he is slim and trim even now.
Love his Brokaw
Sounded a bit like Jimmy Stewart.
“My nummies are in a twisty bunch!” 😂😂😂
I saw him at the Mirage! An amazing performer!
Have you seen him since?
He does a Fab impression of Paul talking to John in Heaven♥️🌟🌟♥️🎸🎸👑👑🎩🎩
his mississippi joe sounds like gomer from the andy griffinth show
Love it!
I am laughing so much watching this I am in tears!
Such a breath of fresh air. Miss these days.
Love the impression of #kingcharles at 8:40 - hilarious
I was always meh about Jay Leno as an interviewer and stand up, but I found him quite emgaging when being interviewed himself.
Dana Carvey I have always loved.
Dana entirely dominated this haha awesome!
That was funny! What a authentically funny man.
RIP the Crocodile Hunter :(
