Almost The Sh– To The Sh–… The Dana Carvey Show Alumni

Posted on by sgottahurt

People barely remember Dana Carvey, let alone his attempt to break away from his Saturday Night Live shackles, The Dana Carvey Show.  Considered ahead of its time, here are the opening skits from the first episode:

Aside from the advertising sponsored episode titles (in this case, my favorite, Taco Bell), did anything else stand out?

Perhaps some the actors involved?

The 40-Year-Old Version, The Office, Little Miss Sunshine, Get Smart

Strangers with Candy, The Daily Show, The Colbert Report

Triumph the Insult Comic Dog, TV Funhouse

Notice any of the writers involved?

Being John Malkovich, Adaptation, Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind

Lucky Louie, Parks and Recreation, Louie

Late Night with Conan O'Brien, Delocated

Community, Moral Orel, Mary Shelley's Frankenhole

  • Spike Feresten?  (Pssst… He’s the one that’s not Jerry Seinfeld.)
