The Master of Disguise aside (look, we all make mistakes), Dana Carvey remains one of our most underrated national treasures. Sure, impressions may often be considered one of the lower comedic rungs, but when you do them as well as he does—coupled with the fact that he genuinely satirizes his subjects rather than purely mimicking them—then it’s proper to give credit where credit’s due.
Carvey tele-stopped by The Late Show with Stephen Colbert while promoting his new podcast, Fantastic!, which inevitably took a brief backseat to the comedian’s chops as an impressionist. Between discussing the ins and outs of parenting, comedic timing, and building a new impression, Carvey first tried out his “Wise Guy” Dr. Fauci before slipping into what we must admit is a damn good President Biden.
