Legendary “Saturday Night Live” alum Dana Carvey mocked former National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases director Dr. Anthony Fauci during a recent podcast with former “SNL” colleague David Spade.
The two poked fun at Fauci’s COVID-19 guidance throughout the years of the coronavirus pandemic, with Carvey giving his best impression of Fauci trying to convince Americans to take a daily COVID shot that grants immunity for up to 39 seconds.

He replied, “I know! Dude, dude! You know when I knew there was trouble? When anyone that came to our country didn’t have to get a vaccine, and I go, ’If you’re telling me that I can’t go to work, but everyone coming in doesn’t have to get one, I go…’” Spade then made a shocked face as if he couldn’t believe the hypocrisy.

I love 39 seconds.
Legend?
Hardly.
It’s true that SNL alumni, like Mike Myers or Will Ferrell are legends, but I think Carvey has more talent than they did, just not as much presence.
Almost everything that Carvey has done is his own material. Most comedians will steal material over time, but he’s never been accused of having done that.
Eddy Murphy, Bill Murray.
Yes, you’re right that they’ve been able to be more successful than Dana Carvey. However, Hollywood success is often as much marketability as anything else.
I admit that Dana Carvey is, at best, a supporting actor on a television show or movie. He needs somebody that he can work with, who has screen presence. You have no arguement from me on that.
He’s simply the better comedian of any other comedian that he worked with on SNL in his era. He’s a very talented comedian, but not the most marketable comedian.
Dana Carvey = Donald O’Connor
Clicked the link and got the latest Bud Light ad. They pimped the 65,000 employees who may lose their job because of going woke. Good thing mute is automatic.
Yes. A talent unto himself, but better placed making the star shine.
Carvey was/is hilarious.
Massive Head Wound Harry. Church Lady, who is the exact twin of my aunt. We call her “ACL” (but didn’t to her face).
Doing Fauci now ... excellent!
Bill Murray in Stripes...
Recruiter: Have you ever been convicted of a crime”?
Murray: “convicted?”
Recruiter:”yes, convicted”
Murray: “no, no, never convicted”
I love it.
LOL

Carvey nailed Neil Young in his standup routine.
“This is every Neil Young song you’ve ever heard...”

Lyle The Effeminate Heterosexual and Grumpy Old Man, were also great characters.
Yes!
“Secret whores with ancient vices”
Awesome.
The media doesn’t let people know that people think this.
