More SNL alumni thoughts
Sometimes, you get to thinking about the strangest things:
- How did Dana Carvey NOT become a huge star when he left the show? I know, he had a botched surgery and all, but did he blow his entire comedic wad on SNL? He was definitely the top gun on the show during what was arguably the show's peak in terms of cast (him, Miller, Lovitz, Hartman, Myers, Sandler, Rock, Farley, Spade). So he finally makes a comeback and what does he get? A crappy movie that Rob Schneider probably turned down. Meanwhile, Mike Myers is raking in millions hand over fist. Life sucks sometime.
-I think that they should come out with a DVD solely of failed cast members sketches. Think of the star power: Ben Stiller, Damon Wayans, Robert Downey Jr., Janeane Garafolo, Michael McKean, Sarah Silverman, Randy Quaid, Anthony Michael Hall, Gilbert Gottfried, Chris Elliot, Charles Rocket, Rich Hall...it would rock purely on an ironic level.
-Speaking of Quaid and Garafolo, they are my official King and Queen of Unfunny Comedic Actors. Just compeletely wretched, should give up, take the gas line work from those two.
-Jason Lee is hosting SNL this week and this should be interesting to watch and see if he can draw some blood from the unfunny stone that is this show.
