Dana Carvey

Dana Carvey threw Wayne's World fans a bone with his "Schwing" moment in his promos for this weekend's SNL, but he did us one better for the actual show. Mike Myers made a guest appearance and the guys dusted off their ripped jeans to bring us a very special installment of Wayne's World. You can hardly tell the guys have aged as they pick up right where they left off without missing a beat. They discuss their picks for this year's Oscars, giving special love to Winter's Bone (some things will never change). I guarantee this will bring a smile to your face and make you nostalgic for the old days of SNL.

Party on: Dana Carvey is hosting Saturday Night Live this week! To promote the gig, he recently filmed a spot with Andy Samberg where the guys touch on one of Carvey's most famous sketches (Wayne's World), along with some of his lesser-known characters (um, Potato Boy?). If you feel like watching Samberg and Carvey say "schwing" on loop, then this one's for you. Hilarious.

Now, isn't this special? Maybe I'm just a Dana Carvey nerd at heart, but I'm feeling a little giddy over today's news that he's working on a sketch comedy show for Fox. Carvey is developing the series with Spike Feresten, the former Seinfeld writer whom he also partnered with on the failed The Dana Carvey Show.

I'm crossing my fingers that this second try fares better. Ever since MADtv got pulled from the airwaves (and Saturday Night Live is hit or miss), we could use some fresh, funny skits on television. Carvey gave SNL some of its most memorable characters, so I feel like this new program is in trusted hands. Maybe he could even try that hair-band wig back on as Garth. Party on.
