YMMV / The Dana Carvey Show

Go To

  • Retroactive Recognition: The show is notable for the unusually large number of cast and staff who went onto become respected figures in their own right, including Steve Carell and Stephen Colbert.
  • Signature Scene: The opening Bill Clinton sketch really colored the audience's impression of the program, for better and for worse.
  • Vindicated by History: The show was highly controversial during its original run and was swiftly cancelled when critics panned it and audiences and sponsors pulled out. Nowadays, it's considered to be a genuinely creative show whose absurdist and racy content was ahead of its time. It helps that the show launched the careers of Steve Carell and Stephen Colbert.
