Dana Carvey Breaks Down ‘SNL’ Biden Impression: How Saying ‘Pirates of the Caribbean’ and Channeling His Dad Led Him to the Perfect Voice
Dana Carvey explains how he mastered his Joe Biden impression, which includes saying 'Pirates of the Caribbean' and switching between four 'rhythms.'
On the Season 50 premiere episode, he joined Jim Gaffigan as Tim Walz, Andy Samberg as Doug Emhoff, Maya Rudolph as Kamala Harris, Bowen Yang as JD Vance and James Austin Johnson as Donald Trump in a cold open parodying the 2024 election candidates’ rallies.
