Summary: Tom Brokaw and George Bush
Review: This is a great DVD! Carvey as Tom Brokaw going through all the possible ways former President Gerald Ford might perish (eaten by wolves, from an overdose of crack-cocaine, strangled by Nixon, etc) is by far the best skit on this DVD. Carvey as Bush was of course his signature, but I wish they would have included more Presidential scenes. There is only one Perot scene and two Bush scenes on this DVD - a few more of these (such as the Bush-Dole skit from Nov 96) would have made this a 5-star DVD. It still is a great buy and I highly recommend it.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: This is some wierd,wild stuff!!
Review: This is hysterically funny. It has Dana Carvey's best skits like Fresh-a pepper, the mclaclin group and the ever so lovable skit church chat. It also has another one of my favorites, the grumpy old man. This is truly Fresh-a video!!!!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: A GREAT BUY FOR CARVEY/SNL FANS !!!
Review: THIS MOVIE SHOWS MOSTLY DANA DOING WHAT HE DID BEST: IMPRESSIONS, BUT HE ALSO DID SOME PRETTY HILARIOUS SKETCHES. THE ONLY ONE I DID NOT ENJOY WAS CARSENIO. I THOUGHT THAT WAS BORING, BUT ALL THE OTEHR SKETCHES MAKE UP FOR IT. I LOVE WAYNES WORLD, ESPECIALLY THE ONE WITH MADONNA. I SAW THE WHOLE SKETCH ON T.V AND I WISH THEY WOULD HAVE SHOWN ALL OF IT, BUT IT WAS STILL EQUALLY FUNNY.

IF YOU LIKE SNL YOU'LL PROBABLY LIKE: SNL 25 YEARS OF LAUGHS (ANNIVERSARY DVD) I RENTED IT AND WATCHED IT 3 TIMES, AND YES IT DOES HAVE CARVEY IN IT!!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: What a show.
Review: What a show indeed. An awesome collection of Carvey at his best. Is there a better impressionist in world? I don't think so. He's brilliant as Perot, Bush, and Johnny Carson as well as some of his own created characters. A must SNL fans and a definite for any Carvey fan. Side splitting laughter that is as good as anything Eddie Murphy did and better than Chris Farley's (although I loved his also) stuff. Buy this!

Summary: Portrait Of A Comedic Genius
Review: When Dana Carvey left "Saturday Night Live" in 1993, he left behind a legacy of zany characters and hilarious (and dead - on)impressions. Since his departure, he has hosted 3 more times (in 1994, 1996 and 2000) and has made numerous guest appearances. This dvd captures the genius that Carvey was (and still is).

The opening sketch is a lively parody of Ross Perot's press conferences. When watching this sketch, it's hard to pinpoint whether you're watching Carvey or Perot of himself since he does him so exact. I loved him in "The McLaughlin Group", in which he portrays tv debate group moderator John McLaughlin as a egotistical maniac, further proof of how good "Saturday Night Live" at political satire. I loved the "Church Chat" montage, thogh I wish they had one complete sketch. The montage of his impressions is hilarious. It's amazing how well he did them, especially Robin Leach, James Stewart, George Michael and Paul McCartney, to name just a few. The Tom Brokaw sketch is better (I'm sure Crvey does him better than Chris Parnell). The Bush stuff is funny, but I wish they would ahve included the 1988 debate with the puRepublican nomiees for President, featuring one of Carvye's earliest Bush impressions.

There are many other great sketches, too many to name. I think this is a highly hilarious romp through over 10 years of classic humor.
