Dana Carvey Says He Knew Biden Was ‘Compromised Mentally’ While Playing Him on ‘SNL,’ but Mocking Decline Was ‘Delicate’

"If I can make Biden funny to everybody, then I am where I want to be," actor and comedian, Dana Carvey explained.

But it was a delicate thing in the comedy world,” Carvey shared on a recent episode of his “Fly on the Wall” podcast with David Spade and guest Julie Bowen. Most recently, CNN’s Jake Tapper and journalist Alex Thompson co-wrote the book “Original Sin,” which investigates an alleged White House cover-up scheme orchestrated to hide the realities of Biden’s health while he was in office. While Carvey acknowledged that the opportunity to play the president was “surreal, “bizarre,” and oftentimes “a lot of fun,” he also noted that he wanted to make sure his Biden jokes were funny without being mean, sharing that he pulled some punches that might have been too hefty a hit.
