Dana Carvey with Jay Leno Tonight Show September 1992

[@suzannah5141]

How does this video not have millions of views!!!!! Dana Carvey is utterly BRILLIANT!!!!!!

[@kdrew-feed]

+Suzannah Lathrop Agreed. This is a treasure I am glad I found on my old VHS tapes long ago!

[@BoedCruiser3]

Because it's Jay Leno

[@SXI96]

he hosted the best MTV Music Awards ever imo, so many great bands and performances that year, Dana is always awesome !

[@veritas1007]

I agree with that

[@BradCrystal007]

Dana Carvey was at his peak of perfection here. Carvey's still fantastic to this day, but he was at his absolute best in 1992.

[@tommyriam8320]

Is that anything like his nadir of perfection?

[@eslomovits]

He's such a genius! Have always loved him!

[@anndelgado1521]

Yes, I just started watching Dana Carvey skits, now I'm OBSESSED

[@jermaineonealnumber7]

I love Dana's impressions, thx for posting, kdrew!

[@skilletman16]

He used the "cute top" thing with Johnny Carson too! Ha!

[@thinkingcapon64]

Dana is so ding dang cute, I love his adorable humor...💞😜💞

[@trublu71]

Dana is one of the best from SNL !

[@allans7281]

Dana Carvey is just such a talent lmao

[@SXI96]

R.I.P Kenny Kirkland on piano, i didn't know he was in the tonight show band

[@ollieroger3032]

You can tell that Leno is jealous of Dana getting such a great reaction from the crowd.

[@charlesdidonato5478]

Dana is one of my all time favorite comedians!

[@clue104]

6:34 that was perfect

[@judithzanzucchi5685]

Love this Dude!!

[@missyounorm33]

Absolutely KILLED!

[@dangerous8333]

Wow this is one of the earliest lenos I've ever seen.

[@tommyriam8320]

A mere 4 months since "Johnny" had stepped down after nearly 30 years at the helm.

[@scratchersandslots2094]

look up some OLD videos when jay was david lettermans fav guest. he always killed

[@felixthelmocevallosmorales41]

JAY LENO 28 DE ABRIL DE 1950 72 AÑOS

[@sbh1617]

He did the same cute top bit when he was on with Johnny

[@felixthelmocevallosmorales41]

Dana Thomas Carvey (2 de junio de 1955 en Missoula, Montana) es un actor estadounidense, conocido principalmente por su participación en Saturday Night Live,​ así como también por su rol de Garth en las películas de Wayne's World.

[@cindyhill4864]

Same joke about the cute top as he did on Carson a few years earlier

[@erinues7._-]

Yeah, i didn't like that. 5 years prior like he is in a constant role

[@davehoward22]

Always get the impression he should've been bigger now then he is.

[@user-uo6wj9ug6u]

Agree. Mike Myers’ Wayne character got all the attention and Dana Carvey couldn’t properly capitalize off of Wayne’s World. Such a shame.

[@raymondm.9954]

Plus, he disappeared for a couple of decades.

[@joe-vz6hx]

Hey look, Dana way back when he used to know how to shave!

[@asceses1]

hahaha!!! fibber Dana. Us Brits sooooo do/did get Waynes world :)

[@dianeamaral8151]

Dana Carey is great ❤

[@Erickchicas]

best ever dana :D

[@letsif]

Funnier than anyone including Robin Williams

[@denaredford6701]

Very nervous show , on Jay Leno part .

[@howiesiegel4995]

Jay was clearly jealous of Carveys talent.

[@christopherdennis4280]

My guess is Dana sided with Jay over Dave

[@ytugtbk]

The difference between entertainers espousing political beliefs before Jon Stewart and Donald Trump. How quaint.

[@zigzagz_8423]

His Top So cute ↩️⬅️

[@Mark-kq6ch]

They take a break after 2 minute? Haha

[@Jack-ms3so]

He is so funny. What happened to him?

[@MelanieAnn_64]

❤

[@maddymud]

He’s like a less obnoxious Robin Williams here

[@curtgottler9961]

Much funnier than Robin.

[@MagnificoGiganticus]

Jay did not seem to really much like the impression of him.

[@SingleTax]

He was actually a good sport about it.

[@nickfuller20]

Bradford made a joke. Amazing!!

[@tommyriam8320]

"Branford"

[@jongreen4893]

whats up with jay's hair!

[@coololds85]

Is this Dana Carvey's first tonight show appearance?

[@clue104]

no. he was on carson's tonight show before, but this is his first appearance on jay leno's tonight show.

[@themike97_58]

+clue104 His Johnny Carson appearance was hilarious

[@clue104]

Mike Lauderback the one with chris reeve?

[@themike97_58]

Yeah man.

[@clue104]

Mike Lauderback oh. haha. that was funny.

[@blairdelnero2762]

Yea,,

[@snorgisborg2]

hahaha

[@chrisspathelf2310]

Better trim down Leno or we will give the Tonight Show Letterman!

[@nancyjackson3909]

It's funny how he's talking about the exchange rate from UK to USA because I'm telling you now back then it was about 2 dollars to the pound so if he gave 600 would been alot more in dollars

[@jonmanpetruci3038]

CAN I FINISH can I finish ok it's like this Larry

[@bobrob8588]

Could it be SATAN😈

[@minkey2007]

lol SEVEN SEASONS? oh jay

[@kevinebarron]

Freakin' Carver. SF Peninsula.

[@zigzagz_8423]

Faster Faster Faster! ↪️⚖️☮️⚖️↩️™

[@Swizzenator]

Funny funny funny funny as phk.

[@SingleTax]

Dana seemed unusually hyper in this interview. Can't help but wonder if he was on something.

[@labanyadatta251]

no, he admits he always had ADHD, he was always hyper

[@paulsecon4889]

SingleTax Lack Of sleep. Dana’s pretty conservative on this one. I’ve seen him right off his head after being up all night once or twice. Pretty mellow on this one.

[@phil-ys3cf]

he's always like this in older interviews

[@justinbrockshus8483]

Prime example of how Jay absolutely sucks as an interviewer.

[@lastcommodore9651]

This had to be later than Sept 92 if he knew that Bill Clinton was elected.

[@BradCrystal007]

That's what I thought too, at first. But if you listen closely you'll hear that he references Ross Perot still being on the ballot. I think at this stage Carvey thought Clinton was going to win (and the polls concurred) so that's why he spoke about it that way. The 1992 MTV Video Music Awards aired live on September 9, 1992, just under two months before the election.

[@pokeyinla]

September 7th, 1992. Episode #1.76.

[@ckersh74]

By September 1992 everyone knew that Bill Clinton was going to win.

[@weilanddavis5256]

he was on speed forsure

[@bradgrauer9148]

They should reverse the seats Dana Carvey would host the show 10 times better than Jay Leno

[@tommyriam8320]

Love Carvey, but no, he would not have _'hosted the show 10 times better than Jay Leno'_ In fact, he'd have been fortunate to have lasted a year before being ousted. He's just not built for such a gig.
