This is the Saturday Night Live audition of legendary comic Dana Carvey. He performed with the cast of SNL back in the days when the show was actually good – yes, it’s true, it used to be an entertaining show! This audition became the basis of a hysterical skit he would do later in the show when actress Sigourney Weaver appeared as a record company agent, it was one of my all-time favorite skits the show ever did.
This audition of Carvey’s showcases the central joke of that skit, it’s great.
A little known fact: Sigourney Weaver is the daughter of NBC executive Pat Weaver. According to her bio at the Internet Movie Database, her birth name is Susan, and she reportedly took the stage name Sigourney after a character from the F. Scott Fitzgerald novel The Great Gatbsy.
