07/05/2008 | Another contibutor to great SNL characters but also alittle too rubber facey. Choppin brocolli is prob my fave because he was a normal guy but the church lady always cracked me up because there's real over zealous religious ladies like that

02/27/2008 | He is always funny and is so versitile. One of my favorites has to be when he is Ross Perot and is driving with the Admiral. I love Hans and Frans and Massive Head-Wound Harry. Choppin' Brocoli is great. I like Lyle, the affeminant heterosexual. Of course there is Garth and many many more.

06/02/2005 | Did he ever do a bad skit.
If he did I can't recall.
Probably hed the most air time of any cast member in history, and theres a reason.
Lorne Michaels said that of all the cast members who ever left, Dana Carvey would be the hardest to replace.
That says it all.

06/03/2004 | One of the funniest comedians of all time. I cannot say the word chickens without thinking of his ridiculously funny skit about his being a Chinese guy who wrote a Broadway play about chickens.

05/27/2004 | Probably my favorite cast member. Unfortunately, he hasn't had quite the success he had after leaving SNL. If he were to return I might watch again. He was awesome as so many characters: George H.W. Bush, Perot, Church Lady (his and Hartman's skit with Hartman as Jimmy Swaggart was hilarious), Hans, and of course, Garth.

06/21/2003 | Carvey was great! The cast of Hartman, Jackson, Carvey, Miller, Hooks, Nealon, and, of course, Myers, were a great team. Hans/Franz still cracks me up. His Carson meets Arsenio skit was hilarious. His Perot skit w/ the Vice Prez Admiral who was shell-shocked (Hartman) was great too. His McCartney was great too. Carvey started out hurtin' (remember 'chicken make great house pet'?), but he's the shizzat.

03/07/2003 | Probably one of the greatest SNL castmembers of all time. He truly was a Master of Disguise, and out of all the actors and skits, Dana Carvey's skits were my favorite. I loved his impressions of President Bush and Ross Perot, as well as his performance on the hilarious churchlady. My favorite scene of his, while not very memoriable, was his "Choppin' Broccoli" song. Dana Carvey redefined SNL and we need him back on the show now more than ever.

01/23/2003 | I looove Dana Carvey! Garth was one of the best characters, along with the church lady and G.W. Bush Sr. He seemed to be able to do any impression you could think of. One of my favorite Dana Carvey moments was when he did the brocoli song. Does anyone remember that? That was awesome!

12/25/2002 | Contrary to popular belief, his impression of George Bush Sr. was not that on-target. It was more annoying that funny. Carvey more than made up for that with his Church Lady character and his bit as Wayne's sidekick Garth. Wasn't he also the one who did the bit about chickens making lousy house pets? That was hilarious.

12/16/2002 | I don't know why so many people now are forgetting Dana's contribution to SNL. It may, I suspect, be related to his poor showing at the box office with movies such as 'Master of Disguise'. He's not a substantial actor, certainly, but that probably has more to do with his on screen presence than his actual abilities. Compared to Chevy Chase he has as good, if not better, comic timing, but he's also less commanding. Even for comedy, charisma and on screen presence make a difference (all of the well known comics have great presence, beyond talent itself). But for SNL I think he offered many amazingly on key performances that defined the SNL show and cast of the late 1980s and early 1990s. His Bush, Church Laty, Garth, and other performances are unforgettable.

07/07/2002 | Extremely versatile and always dead-on hilarious. His stand-up show is a real treat, too (just wish he did stand-up more often). Plus, his short-lived ABC series (1995-96) was one of the funniest things I've ever seen--its cancellation showed to me that the networks are just not ready to take a risk. His characters are classics--Church Lady, Jimmy Stewart, Ross Perot, George Bush, et al. Well, isn't that special??!!

07/10/2001 | Dana Carvey was by far the best thing to happen to Saterday Night Live, in fact you cannot even mention the show without someone mentioning his name. He completely revitalized SNL and brought it much-needed talent. Dana's perfected impressions of Perot, Bush, and Carson (To name a few). And also displayed his characters as The Church Lady, Garth, and Massive Headwound Harry. All these things make him the ideal castmember.

04/07/2001 | Dana Carvey is, in my opinion a comedic genius. His HBO stand-up in San Fransisco assured me of that. His contributions to SNL included characters such as The Church Lady, Garth of Waynes World, Ross Perot, Hans and Frans (with Kevin Nealon), George Bush. He does great impersonations, and has a real talent for writing comedy.

04/07/2001 | Dana Carvey started out on SNL excellent, with great characters and clever lines. But, when they stopped showing Church Lady, his career went down the tubes, and we notcied how annoying he was as George Bush, and that he didn't fit the cast anymore.

11/24/2000 | After Eddie Murphy, Dana Carvey is my next favorite SNL cast memeber. His political impersonations were amazing. He is a silly, silly man who could play all different kinds of people, from a politician, to a church lady, to dumb rock head Garth. He always jumps into the stereotypes of his characters, which plays out to be very funny.

02/15/2000 | Carvey was such a chameleon and had so many great original characters (Church Lady, Garth). If SNL was ever created for someone in particular, it was him. Other than the Wayne's World movies, he hasn't had much suceess elsewhere.
