Dana treats David like a little brother, which is very sweet.

Dennis is my favorite of Carvey’s impressions. Can’t get enough!

[@davidalexander3320]

He did it on snl too right next to dennis

[@jmnyc212]

That 2 second Fallon impression is the most accurate I've ever seen. Carvey will forever be one of the masters at impersonations. He focuses on the subtle things other people may miss.

[@gsofficial]

remember after that where he made fun of people who laugh at his 2-second impressions

[@benjaminknotts745]

He invented Dr Evil It’s based off of Lorn

[@DissociatedWomenIncorporated]

@@gsofficial Andy Samberg does a pretty great Fallon, too. "Jimmy Fallon at a funeral".

[@josephthomas2226]

he doesn't really do impressions, he does caricatures, but what makes them great is they are FUNNY. Lots of impressionists nail the voice and mannerisms, but they can't write funny material. Dana picks out parts of their voice or mannerisms, exaggerates it, and writes killer stuff. That is what makes him so great.

[@JustWasted3HoursHere]

Dana and Bill Hader should do something together because they're both excellent impressionists.

[@PureGreggy]

Spade was saying how crushed he was and Dana re-enacted it for him and then did the bit to remind him how much better he was at it. Still burning him after 30 years, lol.

[@Spirosaur]

I feel like Dana didnt even realize he was doing it, he strikes me as one of those guys who are so brilliantly talented they take their own talent for granted. He just heard “impression of Ross Perot” and felt the need tk bring it to life

[@koolkat781]

The laughs these two have given me over the years. I could never ever thank them enough.

[@loribadgero1035]

This show was awesome for a variety of reasons. David Spade could take both the front stage and the front row seat. He introduced comedians that people hadn't heard of. He could hang out with top comedians in the business, take a little ribbing and make a show of it. He made light of daily issues that stress everyone out. He would sometimes bring his mother onboard who had a comedic vibe of her own. He was 'the little guy', or underdog, which makes people cheer for him to independently succeed. Who wouldn't tune in to current events, through a comedic perspective, a comedy variety show that stands alone and a cheering section for the underdog, all at the same time??! I LOVED his show! Bring back David Spade, comedy host extraordinaire!!!

[@quattrobajeena135]

Who wouldn’t tune in to current events thought comedy? Have you watched the massive propoganda machine that is late nite

[@staciawaraska7175]

I absolutely loved Lights Out and was surprised it didn't make its way back. I guess he's an acquired taste, I just thought enough people appreciated him the way I do to warrant his talk show. Bring back Lights Out!

[@RobHollanderMusic]

There is nothing like when Carvey gets on a roll!

[@Thulgore]

It's one of those weird things. He and Robin Williams came up at the same time.......one exploded, the other didn't. They were always so similar though. Oddly, I think a lot of people think Dana came onto the scene after Robin. Robin did bring in the coked up 90's in a way Dana never could. (this is not a message of hate by any stretch) Edit: I absolutely adored Robin. Dana is the only comedian I know of with an exact same ability. (likeability, impressions, ability to ramp up when encouraged, nice, etc etc)

[@ShiningEyeBrigade]

Love how Dana is so friendly/kind to Spade. Feels good to watch folks who like each other.

[@jmg6012]

Dana is another guy who is so massively Talented but they never could Figure out what to do with it. He’s amazing really. His career should’ve been blockbuster huge.

He has that dry humor that can pull it off.

[@Cicadareal]

Him and Chris Farley were an epic duo

Sure David.....

something that someone who is david spade would say

[@britturk123]

I actually love that you can slot him into any sitcom and somehow make it better, even if Spade is just Spading it up and doing the same shtick he has done for over 35 years.

[@waynekennoff2741]

Yeah this is a better format.

[@ejoshcoron]

for sure

[@al3xx3991]

Definitely

[@brownie_shenandoah]

What shows are you referring to 'comedians trying to out joke each other? Most talk shows are one on one, like, all of them. Conan, seth Meyers,Colbert, Kimmel, etc. Going back to Carson and before

[@JeffRebornNow]

These two could talk to one another all night and entertain us.

Hans Grueber I agree ! Pretty much would have done exactly what Mr. Trump is doing only 20 yrs earlier ? But the media stamped him crazy !

[@EmpyreanLightASMR]

He kind of does! Kevin Nealon has (had? I haven't checked in in a while) a KZbin channel called Hiking with Kevin, and he hikes around the Santa Monica mountains. One episode he ran into Dana, who was dressed to stay out of the sun and was probably just trying to keep a low profile and get some exercise. So when Kevin recognizes him with his camera, Dana is in a very mellow and relaxed state.
