![]() ![]() “I try to abstract to the point that it’s apolitical,” Carvey said of his work. While Carvey hasn’t started trying to pull off a DeSantis impression, he’s still standing by for any reaction from Biden on his imitation of the commander in chief. “I just try to abstract it, and make sure that everyone understands that everybody’s funny on some level, with enormous power.” Everyone’s waiting to see what team you’re on,” the “Saturday Night Live” alum said. “Anyone who’s pulling the strings, then it’s our job to kind of throw rocks at the king,” Carvey said.Īsked if there’s a pressure for comedians to go political with their humor, he said the opposite is often true. “Whoever’s in power is hilarious,” Carvey replied when ITK caught up with him in Washington at the Kennedy Center’s presentation of the Mark Twain Prize for American Humor to Adam Sandler. So who’s funnier: Democrats or Republicans? “But DeSantis, no, I haven’t studied it yet,” Carvey, 67, said. “A little squeaky.”Ĭarvey then briefly transformed into Biden and Trump, saying the 46 th president has “sort of a whispery” way of speaking, while his Oval Office predecessor speaks in a much lower register. “But he has a little bit of a different kind of voice,” Carvey said of DeSantis. “You keep your powder dry,” said the “Wayne’s World” star, who’s famed for his political impressions, including of President Biden and former Presidents Trump and George H.W. “You never want to spend a lot of time working on an impression and then they don’t run,” Carvey told ITK when asked this week whether he’d started trying to mimic the mannerisms of the Florida governor and expected 2024 Republican presidential candidate. Dana Carvey says it’s “too early” for him to start perfecting his Ron DeSantis impersonation.
