The Dana Carvey Show

The Dana Carvey Show was a half-hour sketch comedy television show on the U.S. television network ABC during the 1996 season. Dana Carvey was the host and principal player on the show as well as its head writer.

History

When The Dana Carvey Show first appeared, it was greeted with above average reviews and a lukewarm response from the audience. And despite the fact that ABC only aired 3 of the 11 shows produced, it has maintained a small but loyal following. The official reason for the cancellation of the show was poor ratings, but many of the sketches and Carvey's own monologues would regularly make fun of the show's sponsors, who gradually pulled their support of the show. This most likely made ABC's position as solicitors of the sponsors untenable.

Carvey, along with Mike Myers, in the Wayne's World movie, parodied the use of sponsor plugs by being excessively nice to the sponsors throughout the movie.
