The person behind the punchline
A little backstory.
Dana Carvey is a comedian, actor and impressionist whose Saturday Night Live characters include the Church Lady, Garth Algar, Hans of Hans and Franz, and the Grumpy Old Man. His political and celebrity impressions were another central part of his work in the show's late-1980s and early-1990s ensemble.
Carvey brought Garth to the Wayne's World films and led The Dana Carvey Show, a short-lived sketch series with an influential writing and performing team. He also works in stand-up and co-hosts Fly on the Wall with David Spade, discussing comedy with former SNL colleagues and guests.
