Dana Carvey: Full Unedited Interview With Stephen Colbert

[@thepeacechannel7083]

Oh my God, I love Dana Carvey so much. I almost forgot about him! The fact that he is connected in such a significant way to Stephen Colbert is literally so amazing. Because oh my God, I love Stephen Colbert so much. A match made in heaven!

[@MsTuliplady]

I love stories like this. People starting out, saying they were unemployed, with babies and bills, and look at who they become. Its never overnight, you just have to keep working at it... You deserve every success you earned, Colbert

[@mathew3267]

[@jcayala4252]

I've always been a Dana fan. It's refreshing to see Stephen got his start there. It's also cool to see the respect and admiration he still has for him.

[@InnaVitamina777]

Totally. Lovin this

[@KimSearch865]

Someone give Dana a new show!! How it didn’t work with all those hilarious people is beyond me?! The world needs more Dana Carvey right now!

[@vro1899]

This is why everyone on these sort of shows complain about the network, it isn't because of the censors like people may think, even Chapelle has said they're not the issue. His show died the same death as firefly and Star Trek, the death of Lost and so many others: the wrong time-slot. Network broadcast TV becomes more of a distant memory every day, but this was perhaps it at hits highest, and if you weren't uber-profitable, you're out. The most surprising part to me isn't that it got cut, but that not even Dana Carvey could do something, anything, to prevent it, I always considered him up there like Seinfeld, but I suppose otherwise, it was a time.

[@KimSearch865]

@@vro1899 So true!!

[@klmoll]

Couldn’t agree more!

[@thedevilwithin3437]

The Dana Carvey Show was a brilliant comedy that was 10 years ahead of its time. Had it aired before the turn of the century on Comedy Central at 9 it would still be on. I remember being an early teen and watching every episode.

[@mohammedrahman3447]

This is why I love Stephen Colbert, so humble and never forgetting his roots. He deserves all the success.

[@DanHarkless_Halloween_YTPs_etc]

What a treat for fans of The Dana Carvey Show! Thanks, Late Show, for not pandering to the low-attention-span crowd like most talk shows do on KZbin with their tiny interview snippets, and instead going the other direction and giving us the unexpurgated footage! This was the most enjoyable Colbert interview I've ever watched.

[@te4186]

PLEASE DO MORE TOGETHER ! The chemistry and combination of Stephen and Dana is pure gold...

[@robin2012ism]

Too Funny to Fail is a hilarious peek behind the scenes of making a show go. Celebrity comedians explaining the sketches and the other situations surrounding the show. Really well done.

[@adamk5937]

Stephen just described the meaning of luck (when you have the outsized talent, that is): He can trace the trajectory from his job on Dana Carvey directly to this one. I'm happy for him!

[@shaunbrowne3963]

Adam K Seeing the Chicago audition tape, where his 3-month old daughter is the puppet, is brilliant. Both Stephen and his wife, unemployed at the time, must have been stressed out of their minds, and desperate. It demonstrates that, no matter your circumstances, no matter how bad things look at the time, the future is yet to be written.

[@m.c.5795]

Excellence all around. It isn’t seen or heard off often but I love when comedians and actors express authentic admiration and gratitude to other comedians and actors. Hollywood is so competitive and cutthroat that it warms my heart to see Stephen and Dana genuinely play off each other without oneupmanship. This interview was funny and irreverent. Warm hearts all around. 💙😊

[@velikovskysghost]

+ Madame Chairwoman I agree totally! These two could be president and vice president of the U.S. and the world would be a better place for sure perhaps we could actually learn to work together.

[@lesliewolfe7643]

You can tell these two are actually friends. They're just having a conversation and reminiscing almost like they forget the audience was even there.

+ KoRnKnoTTeR This was one of the best from these two. Dana is one of the funniest people on the Earth. He's also a buzzard eating chicken farmer who eats worms for breakfast. I had to say this because, not only is it true but its because he was born exactly 5 months, 3 days 11 hours and 55 seconds before me, the rotten egg omelette. Besides which I can do more impressions then him and I'd love to be on (Late Night) with Stephen Colbert who is so darn funny I lose it every time I get to hear him. These two need to be in a hospital and used as a medicine. If the old saying is true, and it is, that laughter is the best medicine then these two are Doctors. There are a few other reasons they should be in a hospital, not necessarily a regular hospital, if you get what I mean, but that's for another comment. All in all I love these two geniuses and the work they do. "Bolton Bolton, Bolton, keep those doggies movin rawhide" beautiful! and I still have a smile on my face with that one.
