Dana Carvey knows his SNL bit Joker didn’t land and he wishes he’d made a big change now

It’s an election year, so that can only mean one thing: Saturday evening live crushes it with his political sketches. If you haven’t paid close attention to TV schedule 2024legendary SNL alum Dana Carvey returned to 30 Rock with his hilarious take on the sitting president. While the comedian crushes it like Joe Biden to the point that a clip of Carvey explaining how he impersonates has gone viral, even comedy veterans sometimes miss the mark. THE Wayne’s World The star recently reflected on one of those moments during an episode of her podcast, co-hosted with another SNL veteran David Spade. The famous impressionist says he knows his Joker kinda “didn’t land,” and he wishes he’d made a big change now that he thinks about it.

In a recent episode of his Flying on the Wall Podcast, THE Master of Disguise the star spoke about a recent SNL cold open where he reprized his impression of Biden alongside Maya RudolphIt’s Kamala Harris. The sketch, which also featured the return of Alec Baldwin but this time, as Fox News reporter Bret Baier, parodied a pre-election interview between Baier and Harris.

But the comment could be misinterpreted as talking about Harris. After some thought, Dana had this to say about this piece:

So I’m doing the Biden bit as part of Brett Baier’s interrogation with Maya (as) Kamala. And he’s a little confused. He starts talking about the Joker movie, but they don’t know it. So, I thought later, I asked myself, “Who is the Lady Ga Ga Ga?” You know, whatever. That’s what I did. I didn’t land. I thought later that I should have said, “And who is Whackin Phoenix?” Who the hell is he? Whackin Phoenix would have laughed.
