What was it like, being involved with The Dana Carvey Show?
There was some amazing talent involved there. SC: I don’t think they realized what they had when they had it. People like Charlie Kaufman and Robert Smigel and Louis C.K. and Stephen Colbert. There were some very, very strong comedy talents involved with that show. And that was just fun every day. We could not believe we were so lucky. You laughed very hard every day you were in there, because something was so ridiculous and we couldn’t believe that ABC was gonna put it on the air. It seemed implausible. Ultimately, it was implausible. AVC: It seemed like it was too out-there for its time. SC: I suppose. Well, we polled the audience after the first sketch, which was Dana playing President Clinton and talking about himself as the nurturing president while he breastfed a group of golden retriever puppies. And people were so outraged. That was pre-Monica Lewinsky, that was before his public fall from grace, so people were so offended that we would be poking fun at the President that way.
