Dana Carvey and the Fountain of Photoshop Youth
OK. First. Whoever did this:
... needs to be shot. Dana Carvey is not 25. He's 53. Contrary to popular opinion, there's nothing wrong with being older than 30.
But I wouldn't recommend having standup material that feels that old. Oh, yeah; Carvey has an HBO special. It's not very funny. Well, at least the bit I was able to sit through isn't. The title alone - "Squatting Monkeys Tell No Lies" - gives you an idea of just how too hard he's trying.
On the other hand, it's no worse than his last two starring vehicles - the 2002 bomb "The Master of Disguise" and ABC's short-lived "Dana Carvey Show" - but, then, if it were, he might be looking at some serious prison time.
- "Dana Carvey: Squatting Monkeys Tell No Lies:" 10 p.m. Saturday, HBO.

About this blog
David Kronke was appointed Mayor of Television after a bloodless coup in 2000. Since then, he has improved infrastructure, championed greater educational opportunities and fought for reforms that have utterly erased corruption and incompetence from the television industry. Since Mr. Kronke has ascended to power, Television is a far better place.
MUST BE SAD NOT TO HAVE A SENSE OF HUMOR. MAYBE YOU SHOULD SIT THROUGH THE WHOLE SHOW, IT JUST GETS BETTER. I AGREE HIS FILMS DIDN'T MAKE IT, BUT IN MY OPINION HE IS THE BEST STAND UP COMIC AROUND.
