Dana Carvey Finally Leans In To Being ‘SNL’ Alum
Carvey returned to SNL this season to play a number of characters including President Biden, Elon Musk and Church Lady.
Carvey had become aware that movie stars were suddenly starting to play political characters on the show from Jim Carrey as Biden, Alec Baldwin as Donald Trump, Matt Damon as Brett Kavanaugh and Melissa McCarthy as Sean Spicer. Having spoken to many of the current cast – including Ego Nwodim, Bowen Yang, Colin Jost, Michael Che and Chloe Fineman – on his Fly on the Wall podcast over the last couple of years helped. He had last played Church Lady, who he had developed with writer Rosie Shuster, ex-wife of Michael’s, in 2016, describing the 2016 Presidential Election as a choice between “a bitter, female android from the ’90s…or a riverboat gambler with a big tummy and an orange head”.
