Hilariously, Carvey says that he imagines the president addressing the nation like the peaceful alien emerging from the spaceship at the end of Close Encounters of the Third Kind. But Carvey explains that he prefers honing in on the “gentle father” tone of Biden during a CNN town hall. As Stephen Colbert admits, capturing Biden is tough. Immediately following Dana Carvey’s appearance on The Late Show, his impression of President Joe Biden (which begins at 6:35) was trending on social media. But on his new podcast, the audio medium requires Carvey to rely solely on sound. The classic example? Lucy and Ethel shoving chocolates into their blouses off the conveyor belt in I Love Lucy. (Little known fact: he actually crafted his iconic Garth Algar character off of his own brother, a real-life awkward tech savant.) And with Colbert, he discussed certain aspects of his technique including “funny with the sound off,” a concept that garners laughs without waiting for a punchline. Fantastic! provides a fresh opportunity for Carvey to flex that unique and culturally attune skill.Ĭarvey finds inspiration all around. It’s an ambitious set-up that seems like no challenge for Carvey, the longtime impressionist who’s starred in Wayne’s World, The Master of Disguise, The Dana Carvey Show, and as an SNL cast member for seven years. The format allows for unrelated celebs - like Prince Harry, Anthony Fauci, Jeff Bridges, Donald Trump, and Johnny Carson, to name a few - to interact in random, imagined conversations. Dana Carvey appeared on CBS’ The Late Show to promote his new Spotify podcast, Fantastic!, which has an awesome premise: just Carvey doing impersonations.
