Most people know that I am a huge fan of Dana Carvey<\/a>. Since 1996, I have been running his fan site including\u00a0accurate biographical info, pics, audio, and video clips.\u00a0I became a fan after seeing him on Saturday Night Live (SNL), The Dana Carvey Show, some movies and then later stand-up comedy. I have a draft of Opportunity Knocks from before it was released (OK, that’s a bit serious I understand, but I am known to take things too far).<\/p>\n

\"Dana<\/a><\/p>\n

Dana has not been in many movies recently, but he still performs stand-up comedy. His HBO special from 1995 called Critic’s Choice<\/em> was award winning and very funny. He recently followed up that performance on HBO with Squatting Monkeys Tell No Lies<\/em> (named after\u00a0a joke in the special) only 13 years after. Both\u00a0specials are really good and both are being released on DVD<\/a>\u00a0on August 19, 2008. I give my recommendation that you should check out this two-disc set of Dana Carvey’s HBO specials.<\/p>\n
