KPCS: Dana Carvey #20

Dana Carvey on Kevin Pollak's Chat Show

[@thomasbriggs4718]

Carvey is surprisingly humble for a guy who absolutely killed at stand up. I saw him in the '80s before SNL and he was the best I ever saw.

[@solomonkendall8895]

a tip: watch series at flixzone. Me and my gf have been using it for watching all kinds of movies these days.

[@tysonneil6915]

@Solomon Kendall yea, I have been watching on Flixzone for since november myself =)

[@ashreddernamedcotton1693]

This is the best genuine interview that I have ever had the privilege of watching. Even though this comment will get lost in the gaping ass of the interweb.. I sincerely thank you. The real men behind the masks. Thank you.

[@groverw7507]

gaping ass of the interweb thanks you and Dave Mason, Van Morrison and Colombo Belushi

[@bobothree]

Spent a day with Dana years ago when he did a show at San Jose State. In private a wonderful, unassuming, charming guy. Then fifteen seconds before showtime he morphed into this comic dynamo and killed. After the show he quickly reverted to the shy unassuming earlier guy. A wonderful day.

[@annehajdu8654]

Lucky you!

Damn!!! This is what an interview SHOULD be! That's my evening's unwinding taken care of

2023. I still miss this show.

[@garymcaleer6112]

Dana's lessons apply to so many across the board. Great post, Kevin. You always strengthen my stomach!

[@gregorycarriker5587]

A gem. A big thank you to Kevin and Dana. A delight

[@dylanpiazza6358]

this is such a legendary interview. one of the great ones of entertainment industry. thank you Kevin for this. and dana you are a genuinely beautiful soul

[@Jackie371]

Ross Perot "a walking, talking cartoon"! lol Dana, love you & glad you're okay! What an honor to have Frank Sinatra's last moments be by you. Thanks, Kevin, for letting guests tell the whole story. We don't get that anywhere else. :)

[@armsitchy7623]

We ran into Kevin Pollak ( you) in San Francisco when you did a stand up show twenty years ago. You did a great show and really cool because you were so friendly and greeted everyone coming in. It is nice to see down to earth actors/comedians and thank you. Love both of you guys. Great stories.

[@MyBridgestone24]

These are amazing. Stumbled onto the Bill Hader interview, found the rest. This is amazing.

[@tactlesstruth]

OMG, you've GOTTA have Dana Carvey on again. Through this episode I found this great and brilliant comedian and I've gotta have more.

[@MizzBizz49]

One of my absolute favorite comedians of all time!! I wonder when this was aired and what he's working on currently...LOVE YOU, DANA!!!!!!!

[@capgingersnap]

OMG the Larry King bit right at the end... I'm dying! This was great, I love Dana, hope he comes back on!

[@TheKitchenerLeslie]

The Cornhole Stack

[@jasoncharles9481]

One of the best pure comics of all time. Just excellent. Great interview.

[@ModernNeandertal]

Years ago Dana did a show near Christmas for 1st Data Corporation that my wife and I were at. He cracked me up the entire show. You can tell how smart he is the way he can just go and go. Must be the 10,000 hour thing he talked about here. Carvey is just plain funny through and through.

[@vhhancock]

This is great. I really enjoyed the gentle pace and the sincerity of this. Thank you, Kevin.

[@pleaserewind295]

"Money kills comedy" Good shit.

[@alwas8916]

this is like radio, and i love it.... i dont' miss TV at all. I can paint and listen and laugh and be inspired all at the same time! Dana Carvey, the best comedian up there with George Carlin.

[@jjock3239]

A superb interview! It was nice getting a picture of the real Dana Carvey. So, only 10,000 hours to become a success, eh? Dana's explaining his plugged artery, was fascinating.

[@FH-ge3wr]

Oh Lord, what an interview. More like this please. Kevin you’re a true talent

[@Stonerandlush]

Dana is the greatest! I could talk to him for hours

[@dineratsixish]

LOve this show..big fan of Dana. Kevin is super... great show..

[@darkhorse2649]

You're one of the best interviewers there are! Keep it up!

[@Orionscollar]

My #1 comedian crush, Dana Carvey!! THE BEST

"Is this The Other Cafe?".....a cafe in San Francisco in the Haight Ashbury in the '80,s...

[@IvanBunny]

This was an excellent interview! Kevin is so relaxed and creates a atmosphere where incredible stars can be showcased for the everyday people that they are. Brilliant.

[@Davett53]

August 2022,..........Love these interviews,.....I didn't start listening to any of these until a few weeks ago. The pandemic of 2020 -2021, destroyed my world. Stores are still not fully open, the ones that are,....have shortened hours,....ones that were 24 hours open,.....do not exist. Even bars aren't fully open, as much as they used to be. I gave up drinking,...years ago, anyway. I'm an old fart and should probably be at home more than I used to be. All the coffee house/bistros I used to frequent are closed by 6pm. It feels like we went back to the 1950s,.....when stores closed at 5, and there wasn't anything to do but go to sleep. For the last 3 years, the Internet and You Tube, saved me from going completely insane.

[@jeffreygray4670]

Very funny Kevin, I like the format. I just found your channel and I'm impressed. Its like watching a bunch of friend in a bull session. I get to learn more about Dana than I ever would have on TV. Great show.

[@bobbyshroyer440]

Best ever ! I couldn't turn away. Was still ready for more

[@jamesbryan1644]

One of the best comedians ever ! Love this guy.

[@C-5Arts]

Dana was big on SNL when I was in my '20s. For my money - he's the best that SNL ever had. There are many other great ones, but he's at the tippy-top in my book. And now many unanswered questions I've had forever about Dana, have now been answered. So thanks so much for this Kevin! Love your chat show. In fact, as far as chat shows go, I choose yours over the rest on any given day of the week and twice on Sunday. ;-)

[@annehajdu8654]

He's at the tippy top in my book, too.

[@veritas6335]

Three cheers for the tippy top and twice on Sunday

[@Pun2404]

Love these stories!

[@stephengiese7549]

Talent,. Talent, Talent! Wonderful rememberences and insights! Fate said this guy is really needed! Keep on keeping on😀

[@dddebolt]

Dude the JFK and Elvis in a bunker thing is hilarious. For some reason I think Dana Carvey is one of the bests comedy actors of our time. Amazing impressionist as well.

[@wiredwebmaster]

Great podcast, keep it going. Thanks Kevin

[@rexcarloniusgobelinus4613]

Awesome interview. Thank you for this upload~

[@craigjgomez]

Wow! You guys brought back so many memories like The Old Waldorf which was a Bill Graham venue that famously became, The Punch Line. Holy City Zoo, Cobbs Comedy Club and The Hungry i were landmark venues for some of the greatest comedians. Amazing. Does anyone remember Alex Bennett?

Yuengling is from around my area, PA local brew and the oldest brewery in America. One of my favorite beers, more people should know about it.

Fascinating interview with Dana Carvey, loved all the insight on his #HEARTCONDITION

[@leewright2446]

Great Show 👌

[@jackbonobo]

This was great

[@gloriastrasburg8144]

Thank God, Dana went to the cardiologist and took care of the artery issue. Marin General Hospital is well rated but Cedar Sinai is stellar!. Unbelievable they missed his LAD during his surgery! I am a Sonoma County/Marin native and have encountered many physicians in the area. Thank goodness, his heart muscle was in great shape to begin!

[@jkjerome1]

This podcast f'ckin rules.

[@dr.pendyke4887]

It is also brewed in Tampa, FL, the brewery in Pottsville, PA is the oldest in the county.

[@cindybranley9135]

Thanks Dana I found your words very interesting. Kevin does the type of interview I think with the perspective that its real and the stories and guests seem unreserved.......cool

[@d.263]

LOVE the intro song!

[@alphadogstudio]

I always thought Dana would have been good to replace Leno as a host on the Tonight Show

[@leob4403]

You mean Kevin Pollak would have been good. He is a far better interviewer than Dana. Danas forte is impressions and accents and stuff not interviewing

[@kmcg6444]

Dana we do care! It's fun to hear!

[@apow3rs]

Was not expecting the theme song! Good work

[@tgirard123]

I spent a lot of time at the old Waldorf. I used to do lights with the girl that worked there Leslie. I remember those dressing rooms and a lot of famous people going in and out of them. It was one of the few clubs where you got to play and get a dinner ticket. Those were great times.

[@veritas6335]

Dana is fabulous. Let's get Billy Crystal next.

nice show and yes you can get yuengling on tap in NYC :)

He still love his Kirk Douglas. Great guy! :)

Weird to just watch Dana being Dana, for over an hour.

"Cornhole stack". LMFAO! Dana Carvey wins the Larry King game.

This was a treasure.

Dana! Sonny Sixkiller was at University of Washington, not Washington State! (They're arch-rivals.)

[@gregorycarriker5587]

Any chance Kevin will return to interviewing?

[@orangesharpy]

At first glance of the thumbnail I thought it was Dana Carvey doing a Han Solo spoof

[@joeabrams]

really, good.

I saw Dana and Jon Lovitz at SLS in Las Vegas...

[@dustydustydusty]

hey im so glad I found this podcast, norm macdolds is pretty edgy

Are Dana and Tig Nataro twins separated at birth?

[@DanLoFat]

Flowers in the dirt for me was like The comeback album so to speak not quite wings it was all McCartney much like when Aerosmith Toys in the Attic that was the only album for me, and then Aerosmith rocks come out and that first song with that build first track side a is like it just it was amazing f****** amazing the same thing with the first cut on my brave face, unbelievable.

[@bossfan49]

FITD is awesome..that was a great band and a huge tour

[@TrevorGspivey]

Has Dana Carvey ever come back and hosted SNL? That would be freakin awesom

[@RonJammin]

Last time I remember seeing him on SNL was probably back in.. 2002? I recall him & Will Ferrell and someone else doing some President sketch. Would be most excellent for him to host again, I wouldn't care if he has nothing to promote- just get 'em on!

[@gamesdonovan7666]

RonJammin carvey is too good for SNL.

[@Snev]

I believe he did at some point in 2011 or 2012.

​@@RonJamminhe hosted in 2011 he did church lady on update in 2016

The Knights that say "neat"? OhhhKaaay....Sure. LOL

[@brodemiah3689]

Looked at the thumbnail and thought is the algorithm broken, why is this interview with Tig Notaro being suggested to me?

[@painkiller1968]

Thumbnail looked like Dana was dressed as Han Solo.

[@bobbyhulll8737]

is that Han Solo ?

but when I see a bird I get turned on

[@nachoxsupreme1444]

Great interview, HUGE fan of Dana Carvey but for the longest time growing up I thought he was the same guy who played the judge on Night Court. I know, I know, white people don't all look alike but I swear I thought it was him.

[@YouzTube99]

I see what you mean. Carvey does look like Harry Anderson but if he stood behind him, no-one would know he was there. Night Court probably had the tallest cast in TV history. They had to modify the set to light Bull properly because he was 6' 8" and the rest of the guys were all about 6' 4". And Roz was almost 6'! Now you can win the next TV trivia contest. ;o)

[@Jackie371]

@@YouzTube99 Wow, they're tall! Thanks for the info. :) I like that show.

Is Dana ever coming back... ever... crickets.

+Hugh-John Fleming Doesn't mean he isn't still hilarious and amazingly talented. `i would rather see him any day over most of the so called trending "comedians" today.

[@hugh-johnfleming289]

I was referring to this show specifically which is kinda hard to take with KP's meandering style and endless intros. Carvey I have seen. Worth the ticket price when he is in your patch.

[@leob4403]

​@@hugh-johnfleming289KP is a better interviewer than Conan hands down. He is more relaxed and doesn't have to force jokes all the time
