Jay Pharoah is getting his talents kind of stomped by writers who are just expecting his impersonation to carry the whole sketch.
Like that's a YouTube guys, not a skit.

quite literally, because you can find jay pharaoh doing denzel on youtube -- it's sort of cynical that they're just p much having him do his act on the show -- no real situations or new characters -- like, the guy is good, but black comics doing denzel & will smith are really dime a dozen, i'm afraid

When you think about Carvey's level of career success is compared to Mike Myers, it's pretty crazy. Thinking about back then, it seemed that Carvey was the real break-out star, especially before Wayne's World. Yet today it's Myers sitting at home fat on Shrek and Austin Powers royalties, and who knows what Carvey's doing nowadays.
― Nhex, Tuesday, 12 October 2010 07:00 (thirteen years ago) link
Dana Carvey has struggled with some very serious health problems for years. He had a heart defect which was operated on, the operation was botched badly, and he was caught up in major medical and legal issues for years. Just sayin' - him vanishing from showbiz wasn't entirely his fault.

I thought this episode was on average much better than the previous week's (though I will love "What Up with That" for all time). I groaned when I heard that Kristin Wiig was all over the episode, but thankfully she didn't dominate. In the Password sketch, she was overshadowed by Lynch's Phyllis Diller impression. (Speaking of which, any theories on why they used the name Peggy Zellers instead of Phyllis Diller?) And the Gilly sketch was really a Glee send-up in which Gilly just made a brief appearance.

because it was loads funnier to make a character loosely based on Phyllis Diller but had her own unique set of character traits. it's why the Simpsons create the Happy Little Elves instead of just calling them the Smurfs. Also it's why movies like Scary Movie 3 are for retards

She did? Seems like p. much the entire character was based on Diller, from the outfit (cigarette holder, feathery neckpiece, big teased hair) to the screechy voice to the jokes about her flat chest and poor cooking.

Probably my favorite SNL impression is Armisen as David Paterson (although that's starting to wear thin), and it bears very little resemblance to the actual dude, i.e. he doesn't talk like that, he doesn't have a vendetta against NEW JERSEY. It's basically a character named "David Paterson," loosely based on the real-life person.― jaymc, Wednesday, April 21, 2010 10:45 AM (5 months ago) Bookmark Suggest Ban Permalink

this is true, but those health issues started in '97, after the failure of The Dana Carvey Show and Clean Slate, and he's always said that he wanted to focus more on raising his kids than on his career, so I don't think he'd be a ubiquitous star if not for that. that said Dana totally WAS as huge draw during his time on SNL, if we're talking about popularity of cast members as cast members and not their movie careers after SNL.

I think it was in that oral history, but i read somewhere that another castmember asked Hartman why he broke up as Frankenstein, and he told them that he recovered from his initial break quickly (pro that he is) but then he thought about the absurdity of Frankenstein cracking up, and THAT is what made him totally lose it.

dana carvey show was pretty great but not as great as you might think considering that writing staff. i know bill hader has wanted to stay away from being an 'impressions' guy (even though he's ridiculously good at it) cuz of carvey's post snl career. how far along are they w/ complete seasons? did they just do the original not ready for prime time players? that original cast's shows were incredible and i know everyone thinks whichever snl they watched when they were 14 is the best era but that late 80s/early 90s snl really does seem like the best era to me.

I saw it a few times during the Eddie Murphy/Joe Piscopo era when I was really young (8 or 9), but yeah. By the time Hartman, Lovitz, Jan Hooks, Dana Carvey, Nora Dunn, et al were on the show, I was about 14 and it really does seem like the show's golden era.

miller on the desk, hartman/dunn/hooks/lovitz/carvey in the front...myers/rock/sandler/farley/spade actually trying to prove themselves, definitely my favorite time. When I was 14-15 I thought the show on-air was total shit, struggled to get through sketches while excitedly waiting for REM to perform 3 songs from Monster, I think that was the same year Mark McKinney, Janeane Garofalo and Chris Elliott were all just kinda wasted while the fratties ran amok waiting for their next movie deal.

Ironically I wonder if the current cast would benefit from a little ambition, seems like they all would be happy making youtubes and getting supporting roles in films, real pragmatic folks never really trying to knock us on our ass.
