Featuring performances by
Saturday Night Live alumni
Dana Carvey
Emmy-award winning actor and comedian Dana Carvey is best known for his iconic and indelible SATURDAY NIGHT LIVE characters – most memorably Church Lady, Grumpy Old Man, Hans, of the Hans and Franz body building duo, and of course Garth – Mike Myers’ “excellent Co-Host” on the classic sketch turned feature film, WAYNE’S WORLD. He was most recently seen starring as Garth once again alongside Mike Myers in a massive Super Bowl commercial and campaign for Uber Eats. Carvey has received much praise for his uncanny comedic impersonations of American political figures (popular with both audiences and the subjects of his impersonation), including George HW Bush, Ross Perot, Jerry Brown, and Bob Dole.
David Spade
David Spade became a household favorite during his tenure as a cast member on NBC’s “Saturday Night Live”. Spade can next be seen hosting the new FOX game show, “Snake Oil”, debuting on September 27th. Spade has starred in film and television highlights such as JOE DIRT, GROWN UPS, THE WRONG MISSY, “Rules Of Engagement” and “8 Simples Rules”. For his memorable role as Dennis Finch on “Just Shoot Me”, Spade received nominations for a 1999 Emmy Award, Golden Globe, and American Comedy Award. Spade continues to be a box office draw, touring his stand-up shows nationwide. Currently, he can be heard co-hosting his podcast “Fly on the Wall”, alongside fellow SNL alumni Dana Carvey.
