One of the reasons I think Dana Carvey is a freaking genius

[likethebeer]

I made mda watch this, and he ended up getting me The Best of Dana Carvey on SNL for x-mas. The man (Carvey) really does make me laugh every time I see him (well, except for the non-Wayne's World movies he's starred in - I really hope someone learns how to use his greatness).

Anyway, this is the thing. His piano work on YouTube:

He's really good at playing instruments, too!

This came up b/c mda was, yes, chopping broccoli.

I never get tired of that bit. It ALWAYS makes me laugh. :-D

I'm glad! The DVD that mda got me for x-mas has Carvey doing that twice, but I like the "extended" version much better.

Carvey was one of the (few) real talents of that show.

imo, Carvey, Phil Hartmann, and Jan Hooks were/are incredible. Too bad that one is dead, and the other two haven't been used to their potential since then. Mike Myers is the same way, if he would just stick w/a good agent.

I tell mda: comedic actors are so much different than comedians. Funnier for longer.

Glad you guys like it!

Hartman and Radner, two of the best (top two of the top ten, IMO), both gone.
