theres plenty of interviews of Lorne Michaels out there. I find over the years, his voice gets deeper, but the ummmmmmmm.... is the most consistent part of any impression. Dana Carvey invented the Lorne impression, thats what makes this more important than ever.
To me, I think a good impression is more about mannerisms than the voice itself. That's why so many people can do a decent Christopher Walken. They act like him, and the voice comes naturally.
Dana Carvey might be the most self-assured performer I've ever seen. Look at him. He knows something that the rest of us don't. His McCartney was so natural it was like he sitting in his living room by himself.
Love Dana Carvey but I feel that his Paul McCartney imitation is a weak caricature. Fine imitation for the casual fan but to a die-hard fan it's pretty weak.
Dana Carvey was a guest speaker at a company I worked at in the early 90s. I laughed for an hour straight my stomach seriously was in pain. Funniest guy ever, he's brilliant. (Robin Williams was wonderful, but didn't always care for the anatomical humor. I used to see him occasionally at another job I had...)
That whole special was hilarious, the every song Neil Young has ever wrote... "Lucky's has the lowest prices. I'm getting higher, I'm getting higher... in the world" 😂
I've watched SNL since the very beginning , and even though the early cast was great I must say that the Dana Carvey and Phil Hartman era was consistently the funniest.
+SharmiS ,,, But why Lorne Michaels? Do they still have to kiss his behind? In my day we didn't have latex condoms so you took a rabbit skin and wrapped it around your privates and tied it off with a bungee cord attached to that grumpy old man named Lorne Michaels?
+SharmiS Thanks! Now I'll have that in my head all day! LOL! She's choppin, she's choppin, she's choppin, she's choppin, she's choppin, she's....choppin...broccoliiiiiiiiiiiiii
+SharmiS Good broccoli/Carvey reference. And I think we need Breuer to do his better Lorne Michaels impersonation on Fallon....he can add his Pesci for good measure.
Dana Carvey was definitely the first one doing the Lorne Michaels impression in the mid 80s, before Mike Myers was even on the "frickin" show, and Dana even invented the pinky up to the corner of his mouth. Nobody did that impression to the tee like Dana did, he was the first. Mike Myers flat out jacked Dana's impression. It's the same exact voice, the same enunciation, the pinky, but Carvey was a good guy about it and never made it a big thing.
What I love about Dava Carvey so much is it's not that his impressions are the best imitations, or sound exactly like the person, but he just adds a whole extra dose of funny with them that other comedians can't.
This was epic and hilarious, but I still think the best one is Kevin Spacey. His Michael Caine is so spot-on it'd make the real Michael Caine go, "What????"
Just so happens both these guys are two of my favorite entertainers in Hollywood.?. Thanks for keeping me laughing 😆 for so many years... Dana's... Ross Perot... 🤪😜😂😅🤣
You do know Dr evil is an impersonation of Lorne Michael created by Dana Carvey right? Michael myers loved it so much he used it himself in the first austin powers
he doesnt know crap. dont listen to the clown. mike myers is an impressionist as well and he was teasing lorne with his own impression as well. he wasn't inspired by dana. that is straight up bullshit.
there's an interview on Howard Stern where Howard asks Carvey if there was any bad blood between him and Meyers because it was known around SNL that Meyers stole Carveys impression of Lorne Michales for his dr evil character.

Lorne Michaels: I have seen more impressions of him than having actually heard him talk.
theres plenty of interviews of Lorne Michaels out there. I find over the years, his voice gets deeper, but the ummmmmmmm.... is the most consistent part of any impression. Dana Carvey invented the Lorne impression, thats what makes this more important than ever.
He doesn't sound anything like that. As Dana said, his impressions are not even close to being accurate.
Yea I don't think famous people realize that average folks don't know Lorne Michaels. It's one of those blind spots.
His Paul McCartney is unbelievable. Spot on. Cracks me up every time.
When Dana was a kid, the Beatles were one of the first impressions he ever did to entertain friends and family. That's why he's a master at it.
He starts of very well but then he loses it!,
“A little chokie wokie” 😂😂😂
If you squint your eyes he kinda looks like him, too.
I think he met Sir Paul in the 90's.
I love how that Obama impression gradually got better and funnier.
that impression was terrible. His rythme of speak was good, but the voice was terrible
+FreakieFan no it wasn't it was amazing I thought Obama was in that room!
+Charles Dilaurentis then you've never heard Obama speak before

He even looks like him.
I agree I wish Jimmy didn't interrupt all the time
Well 1st, it's all prepared, so they already have chosen the impressions. And 2nd, Dana carvey just can't stop he will do it in his bathroom
He also remembered Paul is a leftie when pretending to hold the guitar, seemingly without effort.
One and only
The sounds he makes when he’s pressing the button 😂
"first of all, he's got a lagoon" IM DYING
That was the best part 😂
That part makes me laugh every time 😂
what sold the Paul Mccartney impression was that he actually looked like him lol!
+Elizabeth E ..lol!!! my thoughts precisely!
seriously! he made the faces and everything. That was especially amazing how he made his upper lip go limp to get the mouth right.
+Elizabeth E No he wasn't.
+Elizabeth E Nearly distracted from the fact that he didn't sound anything like him
😂😂😂😂 Ikr? lol that's what I was thinking.
As an English person, Dana's is the best Paul McCartney impression I've ever heard by an American - great job!
He sounded like a brummie from Birmingham hahaha
Search for Steve Riks making a cup of tea as Paul McCartney.... (although Dana's is great too)
Love Dana Carvey but I feel that his Paul McCartney imitation is a weak caricature. Fine imitation for the casual fan but to a die-hard fan it's pretty weak.
@@markzappasodiand of course you are part of the elite group of "die hard fans" innit? tooting your own horn much?
@@leob4403 apparently so. 😁
I could watch Dana Carvey impressions all day. He has never stopped making me laugh.
Jimmy learned a lot of his early impressions from Dana early on, it's great to see them do it together.
Paul McCartney's impression is epic
+sebastian alegria he sounded like ozzy osbourn. hahaha
+The Cricket Nerd Yes Jimmy Falon is just a mimic not a real talent like Dana Carvey
+paul yoda Excellent point. I agree.
I know babe
he even held the guitar left handed for paul mccartney like a pro
BreakBattles_SA ...but... Paul McCartney plays the bass?
Its a little bassy guitar 😁
Contrast with Jimmy Fallon who confused his right with his left while impersonating Jagger. 😁
@@Alaniata Bass guitar is still a type of guitar, technically. It has "guitar" right in the full name, lol.
Deathbrewer true, how European of me
I like how Dana was going into the Paul impression without even hesitating
You can tell Dana Carvey is a seasoned musician because he air-played McCartney’s bass left-handed🙌🏻👏🏻🙌🏻
Lol I just noticed and commented the same thing, glad someone else caught it. He did it almost without thinking too it seems.
I was thinking the same thing 😄
He also is a drummer.
Why don't we see more Dana Carvey everywhere? Truly hilarious man.
Dana Carvey was a guest speaker at a company I worked at in the early 90s. I laughed for an hour straight my stomach seriously was in pain. Funniest guy ever, he's brilliant.

@@sabrinan4792 who cares about you
@@funkychicken9937 you cared enough to comment.
Funky Chicken shut up
Hes been around for like almost 40 years
The Lorne Michaels impression sounded like he was Dr. Evil! Lol 😂
Dr evil was based in lorne michaels if you don't alr know
Because Lorne Michaels is who Mike Myers based Dr Evil from. They even did a skit about it when Mike went back on SNL once
melirose89 I had know idea! Thanks!
+Salience is it just me or did the Paul McCartney impression sound a lot like Austin powers?
+Chris Beaudoin yes! I was thinking that too
I am convinced that Dana does some of the funniest impressions I've ever seen. They may not always be spot on but they never fail to make me laugh 😂
Dana Carvey stole a piece of my heart in the SNL days... Choppin' Broccoli. Paradise.
His stand up special where he talks about the cat playing the piano 😆
Lol I can't help sing that everytime I cut broccoli.
Carly Caruso omg yes! 😹😹😹
I wish someone could analyze why that chopping broccoli sketch is so funny
That whole special was hilarious, the every song Neil Young has ever wrote... "Lucky's has the lowest prices. I'm getting higher, I'm getting higher... in the world" 😂
Dana Carvey has surfed all these night shows so gracefully and hilariously through the years. We love you, Dana!!
Every time Dana said "you know" in Paul's voice I laughed out loud 😂
That Paul McCartney impression was a 10/10.
11/10
Paul mccartney killed me lol
Same here! I feel tears spilling out my eyes! 😂
+Tina Ho dr evil
REKT GAI
yeas?
you know lmao
no one laughed at the Kieth Richards but i DIED
It was pretty dang funny
The Paul McCartney impression is spot on.
Absolute impression king... for a loooong time is Dana.
Legendary
Imagine how amazing Robin Williams would have been at this.
Elijah Cassidy v
he'd have gone through 50 impressions in the span in 3 minutes
He does a pretty damn good impression of a hotdog
:'(
my heart broke when i read this😪
The Paul McCartney one gave me life, it was just the same, even all the "y'know" :')
Your profile picture is amazing😍
I think Phil Cool's Mccartney impression is much better...
I know it was great
I feel the same Y'know
Oh my sweet lord your profile pic gives me life
of course he can do impressions, I mean he is The Master Of Disguise!
PISTACHIO DISGISUÉ 🤣😂🤣😂
Turteley
U already know "Stop becoming another person" 😂😂😂
DR EVIL= Lorne...yup.
I HAD NO FUCKING IDEA OMG
One of the funniest dudes on the planet. His impressions are gold
If you squint your eyes when he's doing Paul it's literally him
Why not close them completely? Lol
The Paul McCartney ending was actually hilarious, obviously you can see the producers having a heart attack and Jimmy trying to stop Dana 😂
Carvey saves the skit with this line: "You've seen the movie: c'mon now."
The Obama and Paul McCartney impressions get me every time xD "Me favorite horror MOvie!"
I feel like other comedians don’t think very highly of impersonators, but I can’t get enough of a good impersonator like Dana Carvey
When I have a stressful day.....I watch these impressions and it helps! 🤣
Jesus that Paul McCartney impression is hilarious
Conor Barry Jesus loves you.
Paul McCartney's impression was outstanding!
No it isn't. It sounds like Austin powers not liverpudlin
To me it does. :)
It really doesn't but his physical impression is pretty good
well what he definitely got right was a lotta "y'know"
He even looks like him
I've watched SNL since the very beginning , and even though the early cast was great I must say that the Dana Carvey and Phil Hartman era was consistently the funniest.
Carvey, HArtman, Miller and that bunch were THE GREATEST!!
AGREED
Sandler and Spde and CHRIS FARLEY
The basically from them til Will Ferrel. It hasn’t been good since.
@@justinmayfield6579not true, Bill Hader/Will Forte/Kristen Wiig era was damn good
Dann Carvey's impressions are always spot on.
This gives tons a points to Jimmy Fallon for having the king Dana Carvey!
she's choppin broccoli
Copping broccoli hahahahaha
+SharmiS ,,, But why Lorne Michaels? Do they still have to kiss his behind? In my day we didn't have latex condoms so you took a rabbit skin and wrapped it around your privates and tied it off with a bungee cord attached to that grumpy old man named Lorne Michaels?

+SharmiS Good broccoli/Carvey reference. And I think we need Breuer to do his better Lorne Michaels impersonation on Fallon....he can add his Pesci for good measure.
His Obama and McCartney was amazing 😂🔥
really?I thought his Obama was way off
yayaspider nah
+yayaspider same!
his Obama was shit
+Car_ NinjaSword40 *the shit
Today I Learned: Dr. Evil is just a repurpose of Mike Myers doing Dana Carvey doing his Lorne Michaels impression.
Michael Myers He's Right. Get a clue bruh... Smh
I know right. I immediately thought Dr. Evil.
lekoman According to Carey, they all had a lorne michaels impression
Dana Carvey was definitely the first one doing the Lorne Michaels impression in the mid 80s, before Mike Myers was even on the "frickin" show, and Dana even invented the pinky up to the corner of his mouth. Nobody did that impression to the tee like Dana did, he was the first. Mike Myers flat out jacked Dana's impression. It's the same exact voice, the same enunciation, the pinky, but Carvey was a good guy about it and never made it a big thing.
lekoman a
Two master impressionists on the same stage at the same time, I just wanna geek out over it! Lol
That McCartney impression was everything hahaha
HE GOES A SHAGGY BIRRRRD
Dana actually looks a bit like McCartney
he definitely should appear on SNL as Paul ^_^
he did. its called "the 1990s"
awesome!! :D
:)
+Clancy Coburn y g
I knew Dana Carvey's Paul was fantastic but I had no idea Jimmy Fallon could do such a great Bernie Sanders, that was spot on I thought.
To do Sanders you mainly just have to get his mindset down
That fake laugh of Jimmy's is finally starting to catch up with him. ( because he keeps Coughing) 😄😄😄
This joke is still not funny.
+Hugh Jazz no you don't
Conans is more obvious
twincitydezray I actually believe conans fake laugh, I didnt even know it was fake until now
+Hugh Jazz Yes Jimmy Fallon Sucks
Jimmy Fallon is really good... but Dana is other level.
Dana is the OG
How is there not a Bill Hader episode of this?
Also, I love him but Dana’s Obama wasn’t good.
@@ZacBLive yeah, that was his weakest. Kinda surprised me
@@ZacBLive Really?? I thought it his Obama was much better than I thought it would be!
Dana is a machine! Also, the Lorne Michaels impression made me think of Bill Hader and how I wish that Jimmy played Wheel of Impressions with him.
What I love about Dava Carvey so much is it's not that his impressions are the best imitations, or sound exactly like the person, but he just adds a whole extra dose of funny with them that other comedians can't.
the bernie voice was done really well, but the Paul McCartney voice had me dying 😂😂😂😂
Hahahaha oh my goodness, his Paul McCartney was just so hillarious, kills me everytime!! Hahahaha!
Is good to see jimmy laughing genuinely.
Much quieter than the stupid fake ones! Natural. ❤
Regis is in everyone
ominous, yet comforting
This is pure talent!
You must mean Dana Carvey, and I fully agree!
Amen, testify!
Dana Carvey does pretty good impressions. They should give him a movie based around his impressions, I'm sure it would be a quality hit. Turtle.
Took me a minute to realize this, sadly.
Am I turtley enough?
+S0LV0 TUUUUURRRRRRTTTTTLLLLLEEEE
Am I not TURTLEY enough for the TUUURRRRTTTLLLEEE. Club?
Turrrrrrrrrrrrtle
+S0LV0 He says Turtle, over, and over.
This dude😂😂😂I love him!!!
Omg why can’t this last all night 😂😂😂
His Lorne Michaels impression is almost identical to Mike Myers’ Doctor Evil!
Holy shit the Paul McCartney was fucking spot on.
This was epic and hilarious, but I still think the best one is Kevin Spacey. His Michael Caine is so spot-on it'd make the real Michael Caine go, "What????"
ya that was good. all of spacey were good he's a talented guy
The best one is Jamie Foxx by faaaaar
The Michael Caine one was good, but it was far from spot-on.
The best what?
Wait, whose?
That Paul McCartney impression was perfect!! Give Dana an Oscar!
Dana Carvy is the funniest comedian I have ever watched 😂
yo that paul mccartney impression was gold
Dana Carvey always brings me close to tears from laughin LOL
Jimmy doesn't do these often enough. This is my fav segment by far.
The Paul McCartney one though XDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD
Just so happens both these guys are two of my favorite entertainers in Hollywood.?. Thanks for keeping me laughing 😆 for so many years... Dana's... Ross Perot... 🤪😜😂😅🤣
That soft box of glowing light above them is crazy bright! Dana is glowing!
His Lorne Michaels impression reminds me of Dr. Evil haha
You do know Dr evil is an impersonation of Lorne Michael created by Dana Carvey right? Michael myers loved it so much he used it himself in the first austin powers
Dan Legend I actually did not know that.... that makes sense then.
wrong. mike myers did his own impression of lorne. to say he took it from dana is nonsense. you have it half right.
he doesnt know crap. dont listen to the clown. mike myers is an impressionist as well and he was teasing lorne with his own impression as well. he wasn't inspired by dana. that is straight up bullshit.
Barbie Reynolds wow, people get so offended and defensive over nothing.
His Paul McCartney is spot on.
chippchipp1 naah.
Its generic liverpoolish but thats about all.
The Mongoose It actually isn’t. Nobody in Liverpool speaks like that. McCartney does because he hasn’t lived there for about 60 years.
Finally they fucking picked Paul McCartney
I've been also waiting too
ive been waiting so long
+Abe Grimm Thought it was only me waiting
+Abe Grimm Finally had a guest who could take a reasonable shot at it.
Bless Jimmy he tries so hard to keep his show PC and Family friendly
When Fallon starts choking laughing (1:04), you know Dana Carvey nailed that Obama impression... Bravo Dana, Bravo
Big thumbs up for Dana Carvey. Such a funny guy too bad we don't see more of him.
Am I the only one that was blown away that Carvey is 60? It makes sense once you think about it. But damn. He looks ageless.
Picture him in an older guy hairstyle or with 30-50% hair loss and he’d look his age. Hair makes the difference - and maybe the fact he acts younger.
That was the greatest Paul McCartney impression, Period!!
Dana Carvey is way beyond our time ❤ love him so much!!!
Dana's impression of Lorene Micheals sounded like a cross between Dr Evil and Donald Trump. Hahaha
there's an interview on Howard Stern where Howard asks Carvey if there was any bad blood between him and Meyers because it was known around SNL that Meyers stole Carveys impression of Lorne Michales for his dr evil character.
That Bernie sanders was pretty good actually
That Paul McCartney was amazing!!
Dana is insane!!! Love him
The Paul McCartney one is AMAZING
Fallons' jagger impression was the best.
When Jimmy actually laughs, he chokes right after, that's when you know it's not fake
his laugh makes me wanna kermit
it's all fake.
Man, Gary Oldman is really talented!
what?
+ShowdownPlease Holy shit he really does look like him
the paul mccartney was the best one of all impressions!!!!!! ;)
Jimmy was actually laughing real in this. 😂
I know 🤣🤣 to the point he was choking.
When he said Kit Kat Bar, I lost it Lmaoooo
Dana: "Hope Regis is watching, I love Regis"
Jimmy: "No, he's a mess"
...what?! XD
Ingrid Norman ‘no, he's the best'
Paul McCartney impression was hilarious :D
one of my favorites of snl a true impressionist and comedic genius.
The mick jagger one was so funny lmao
Dana Carvey had so many brilliant characters. Love love love him.
"Aw man, I got Obama.. We definitely didn't plan that because I can do an Obama impression"
Listen to what Jimmy says in the beginning.
It's funny... as Dana is getting older, he's starting to actually look like Paul McCartney.
Dana is so great
Paul McCartney impression is spot on, the looks, left-handed guitar, voice
I haven't seen him since Wayne's World. The reason why I clicked on this video lol what a legend
Dana Carvey is comedic genius. I could listen to him do impressions all day. So underrated.
