As it turns out, the old Dana Carvey Show had some pretty fantastic moments. Do NOT miss “Germans Who Say Nice Things” or “Skinheads from Maine” or, especially, “‘First Ladies as Dogs.”

Hold to the now, the here, through which all future plunges to the past.
Yeah, the worst thing about that show is Dana Carvey. I mean, consider the talent: Colbert, Carell, Charlie Kaufman, Louis C.K., Dino Stamatopoulos, Robert Smigel. It’s rather staggering.
Except Carvey can be funny, and has been. He’s just not always the best judge of which of his bits are funny.
In particular, he’s screamingly funny in both the Maine sketch and the Germans bit (opposite a Steve both times).
