Prince is a douchbag

I get as much enjoyment from Dana Carvey outside of Wayne's World as Tom Petty gets out of Michael Jackson.

 

The Church Lady was funny.

 

And me, too. So Carvey doing McCartney really hurts to watch.

 

They do nothing for me. I've seen plenty of Saturday Night Live from those days and always thought of Carvey as the weakest link, at least of the major players.

 

Worse than Nora Dunn? Or Victoria Jackson?

I thought Carvey was pretty funny. Not as funny as Phil Hartman, but funny nonetheless.

 

Saturday Night Live has a long history of writing poorly for women and minorities. Give me Phil Hartman, Jon Lovitz, Kevin Nealon, Mike Myers, Chris Rock and Chris Farley over Dana Carvey.

 

Lost track of Prince's career over the last number of years, but was a big fan back in the day an the version of "I Could Never Take The Place Of Your Man" from the Sign O' The Times movie - with the horns and full band - kicks all sorts of fucking ass.

 

I'm one of three people who liked "The Dana Carvey Show"

Colbert, Robert Smigel, Louis CK, Steve Carell, Charlie Kauffman all involved. i liked it and thought if given enough time it would've been great.

 

Lovitz and Myers were both really uneven. Both had some great characters. Both had some forgettable ones that haven't stood the test of time and weren't that funny even at the time.

Rock was SNL's great whiff. Didn't use him right at all. Nealon? Funny, but almost always in a supporting role to Carvey/Hartman/Myers, etc.

Farley is just different from all of the above even though he was in the same cast for a while. Funny, but in a totally different way.

 

agreed. i hope he meets michael soon.

 

I would argue that "in those days" for McCartney pretty well covers 1971 to the present. I'd be tempted to put his solo career fourth among the Beatles.
