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.
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.
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.
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.
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!
@@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. !!
I'm supposed to be cleaning and organizing today but I've been watching Dana Carvey doing every single impression he's ever done for the last hour and a half. The cleaning can wait!!!😂
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.
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
"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
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.
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…
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.......
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.
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.
@@VestigialHead Yeah, when he brought his infant within a few feet of a crock on one of his episodes. He pushed it with nature and nature one. Like Gunther Gable Williams was killed live during a BAB Circus act by one of his tigers about 6 months after I saw that same act in DC.
It wasn't Dana's fault .... HE is very very funny ... it was the fault of him being in some not so funny movies, which is the fault of the screenwriter, director, and other actors in that movie. A movies success or failure is not just because of 1 actor.
The world needs more of Dana!! He was so good on SNL!! Love him
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.

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.
One of the best impressionists ever. He rocks.
One of the funniest comedians and impressionists ever! Wish saw more of hm !
you can see a natural talent -- so effortless and yet brilliant
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 👍
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.
There hegies
+ saying something funny while doing the impression
Many impressionists focus on just the mannerism. Dana always does a fun story/situation
Dan Ackroyd was infinitely better
Dude has AMAZING energy...light and easy...smart, bounces off negativity...

I think he is one of the funniest people ever! I have always loved his talent!
Thanks for the laughs! Ever and always one of my favorite comedians.
I couldn’t talk that fast if I tried! Love him!!! 😂😂
One of the most underrated stand up comedians in America and the world I love George carlin Dana Carvey and Bill burr
Dana has never been underrated.
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.
way under-appreciated!
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!!
Great talent. Underappreciated. This had me in tears.
I love Dana's face...so cute and sincere
LOLOLOL! Dana is definitely my favorite comedian. ALWAYS cracks me up!
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 have never realize how good of a standup comedian he is
I think he combines exuberance and intelligence nicely.
This had me in stitches! Love Dana Carvey! 🤣
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 those elite comedians who can make me laugh so hard, I cry. Thanks Dana.
My favorite late-night guest. Always hilarious!
I love it when he slips into the Church Lady voice. Lol
Absolute comic genius...always hysterical!!
haha the dog bit is spot on- they always say 'he's just playing' when it's sprinting towards you
Dana Carvey is always hilarious!
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. !!
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!
I'm supposed to be cleaning and organizing today but I've been watching Dana Carvey doing every single impression he's ever done for the last hour and a half. The cleaning can wait!!!😂
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

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.
Tom Brokaw 7:45 ..” he actually needed oxygen on election night because he said the word ‘gubanatorial’ too many times “ 🤣🤣
His spot on impersonation of Sir Paul explaining the Mueller report to John Lennon on Howard Stern is pure genius. And funnier than hell.
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 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 #rules!! He was best acting like the Church Lady, heels and all!!
Dana Carvey is actually very intelligent and very informed in real political knowledge not Fake news .
Dana at his best. Love it.
Dana is by far my favorite comedian. He is so damn funny! I hope I can see him some day!
Dana Carvey, may be the funniest of all time.
Yes the funniest
I can't believe I watched the WHOLE thing!
THANK YOU JESUS!!! I haven't laughed so hard in a while!
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.

Dana Carvey has got it.
Dana Carvey is pure energy. After Robin Williams, I'm now worried about comedians with this level of energy.
Dana always kills. Just feed him one word and don't engage until he breathes again.
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.

"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
SelfReflective sounds like you just weren’t paying attention.
@@faithfulchristian9171: Hopefully the world ends before then. I hate the 21st century.
The barking dog was incredible!...scary... and dead on... and, of course, funny. Genius!
I miss Dana. Its like seeing/watching never ending, hyper energetic guy. No wonder he is slim and trim even now.
*"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
Jay's such a great and giving host.
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.
Omfg he snuck in a Jay Leno impression lmao
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…
I would love to see Dana and Jim Carey in a sitcom 2gether.
That I would love to see.
M
Genius
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.......
He cracks me up every single time.
Laughed my ass off at the Tom Brokaw bit.
One of my favorite Dana Carvey moments is when he jirates his hips in Wayne's World!!!! Freaking classic.
Turtle... he's fine.
Im Fine!!
Turtle!!
LOL
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!
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 can testify personally of christians healing others. I did it to my neighbor the other month ago & it was crazy amazing!
a pretty accurate summary of maury haha
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.
Miss-sippi.
Such a breath of fresh air. Miss these days.
his mississippi joe sounds like gomer from the andy griffinth show
I saw him at the Mirage! An amazing performer!
Have you seen him since?
One of the best actors out there
He’s got to work on a Sam Rockwell impression, he’s got the face already.
Humanity was robbed when we lost Steve Irwin. It makes me sad every time I hear his name.
I make it a point to kill every sting ray I see as an act of revenge
Irwin was an appealing guy, passionate about his profession and entertaining tv personality but tap the brakes a little on the robbing humanity.
@@probono9341 Not well liked here in Australia.
@@VestigialHead Yeah, when he brought his infant within a few feet of a crock on one of his episodes. He pushed it with nature and nature one. Like Gunther Gable Williams was killed live during a BAB Circus act by one of his tigers about 6 months after I saw that same act in DC.
“My nummies are in a twisty bunch!” 😂😂😂
I am laughing so much watching this I am in tears!
Funny man ,love your humor .
Greatest of all times !
He does a Fab impression of Paul talking to John in Heaven♥️🌟🌟♥️🎸🎸👑👑🎩🎩
LOVE KEVIN'S LAUGH.....
RIP the Crocodile Hunter :(
DC is brilliant
Dana entirely dominated this haha awesome!
I still don't know why his film career crash and burned- he is so funny and versatile. The same can be said for Jim Breuer.
It wasn't Dana's fault .... HE is very very funny ... it was the fault of him being in some not so funny movies, which is the fault of the screenwriter, director, and other actors in that movie. A movies success or failure is not just because of 1 actor.
Every day is Valentine's Day...
the clint eastwood walk at the beginning 🤣
I don’t know why that dog impression made me cry laughing
Dana is underrated....he is too funny.
I love this guy he can keep the show going for as long as he wants, snl was really something
I’m here after watching Master of Disguise anyone else ?
Garth slipped in for a second at 10:56
That was funny! What a authentically funny man.
Love this guy. Great timing for comedy.
Laura and the other girls
He was great as Garth. A lot of energy.
Really hate the Church Lady routine though.
..."HE wann tis!!"
I dont know about great. He is better than the present. He could not hold to the old timers. That was talent
dana carvey SUCKS SHIT
He is one of the best!
So talented. No cheap hateful political shots.
Love the impression of #kingcharles at 8:40 - hilarious
Talent
