Saturday Night Live - The Best of Dana Carvey | Year: 1999 Classification: Television Portrait Of A Comedic Genius When Dana Carvey left "Saturday Night Live" in 1993, he left behind a legacy of zany characters and hilarious (and dead - on)impressions. Since his departure, he has hosted 3 more times (in 1994, 1996 and 2000) and has made numerous guest appearances. This dvd captures the genius that Carvey was (and still is). The opening sketch is a lively parody of Ross Perot's press conferences. When watching this sketch, it's hard to pinpoint whether you're watching Carvey or Perot of himself since he does him so exact. I loved him in "The McLaughlin Group", in which he portrays tv debate group moderator John McLaughlin as a egotistical maniac, further proof of how good "Saturday Night Live" at political satire. I loved the "Church Chat" montage, thogh I wish they had one complete sketch. The montage of his impressions is hilarious. It's amazing how well he did them, especially Robin Leach, James Stewart, George Michael and Paul McCartney, to name just a few. The Tom Brokaw sketch is better (I'm sure Crvey does him better than Chris Parnell). The Bush stuff is funny, but I wish they would ahve included the 1988 debate with the pu nny, and Caine plays his end so straight that, truly, the five minutes this stuff takes up in the movie may be the single essentially one-note, from Bill Pullman; I loved his touching scene with Ryan at the rooftop hotel restaurant late in the film. Also adding to the festivities are Rosie O'Donnell, David Hyde Pierce and Rob Reiner; each contributing his/her own unique brand of comedy.
