Dana Carvey Turns 71!

**SPEAKER_1** (0:00)
How about a reason to drink tonight? A fun reason to drink. Happy 71st birthday to actor and comedian Dana Carvey. 71 years old, 71
I saw Dana Carvey do a stand-up set along with David Spade two years ago at the Daymar Services Fundraising Event, because they do that podcast together about, you know, like Saturday Night Live stuff and comedy as a whole.

**SPEAKER_2** (0:31)
Fly on the Wall or something like that, I think.

**SPEAKER_1** (0:33)
Yes. Yes.

**SPEAKER_2** (0:34)
And this was, I think you mentioned it, a private, was it a private thing?

**SPEAKER_1** (0:38)
Yeah, tickets were sold, but it was a big fundraiser for the Daymar Services Group, who help individuals with special needs. Carvey was great. His impressions were spot on.
Probably best known for Saturday Night Live. He was Garth in the Waynes World movies.

**Dana Carvey** (0:56)
If she were a president, she'd be Abraham Lincoln.

**SPEAKER_1** (1:00)
Loved Wayne and Garth. The church lady.

**Dana Carvey** (1:04)
Well, isn't that special?

**SPEAKER_2** (1:06)
Yes.

**SPEAKER_1** (1:08)
I mean, so many great characters, along with Kevin Nealon, they were Hans and Franz.

**Dana Carvey** (1:14)
Hello, let us begin by introducing ourselves. I'm Hans.

**SPEAKER_2** (1:17)
I'm Franz.

**Dana Carvey** (1:18)
And we want to pop.

**SPEAKER_2** (1:20)
You are.

**SPEAKER_1** (1:23)
But I will say, the best sketch Dana Carvey ever did on Saturday Night Live was massive head wound Harry. Do you remember massive head wound Harry?

**SPEAKER_2** (1:34)
I'm going to have to type that in. I'm not sure.

**SPEAKER_1** (1:37)
It's a guy with a massive head wound.

**SPEAKER_2** (1:40)
It's some surprise.

**SPEAKER_1** (1:41)
And he shows up to a cocktail party and grosses everybody out.

**Dana Carvey** (1:46)
Hey, great party. I'm sorry I'm late. I forgot where you lived.

**SPEAKER_2** (1:55)
I'm watching it right now.

**Dana Carvey** (1:57)
I feel dizzy. I just need some food to get my strength back.
I lost a lot of blood on the way over here.

**SPEAKER_2** (2:05)
Well, you got to try some of these shrimp, friend.

**SPEAKER_1** (2:11)
At one point, he lays down and the dog is chewing on the head wound and he's trying to keep the wig on at the same time.

**SPEAKER_2** (2:20)
I will say, can I put my vote in for his movie called Opportunity Knocks in 1990, where he played the con man who stayed at this fancy house, the owner that wasn't there and fell in love with the owner's daughter and stuff like that. Great movie, great movie.

**SPEAKER_1** (2:38)
Last couple of years, when he's been doing stand up shows and even the podcast, Dana Carvey has been doing his Joe Biden impression. I saw this two years ago at the charity show, but here's a little bit of Carvey as Biden.

**Dana Carvey** (2:54)
But Biden came out as a really sleepy, sweet grandpa. And he was like, he's always repeating the story. Yeah, I went to Scranton, Scranton, I grew up in Scranton, Pennsylvania. My dad, my dad lost his job. No joke. I'm not kidding around here.
No, no human being in the world thinks that's a joke. Nobody. It's anybody who lost his job.
And then, you know, my dad like, didn't even do the number thing. Number one, the one part. Number two, what the guy said. Number three, you know the drill. Come on. No, we don't. Now what he does is he kind of whispers and then he yells. If you know, I think it's a wonderful move. Don't you love it when he's like, we know how to get natural gas. Because we can get it. We know how to get it. That's what we do. We get the people of private, public, the private, the pirates of the Caribbean.

**SPEAKER_2** (3:55)
That's perfect. They just posted the massive head wound, hairy bit on our X account at Hammer and Nigel. If you'd like to look at that.

**SPEAKER_1** (4:04)
Watching him try to hold on to the wig that's holding on to the head wound while the dog is pulling at it. Oh, it doesn't get better than that.
