Dana Carvey Brings Back Wayne's World On Saturday Night Live

Dana Carvey performed a 'Wayne's World' sketch during his hosting of Saturday Night Live at the weekend (5th February 2011).

DANA CARVEY, the American actor and comedian, reprised his role 'Garth' from the hit movie 'Wayne's World' when he hosted SATURDAY NIGHT LIVE at the weekend. Mike Myers who played 'Wayne' in the original cult movies, also appeared in the skit. Carvey and Myers first made the characters famous during their 'SNL' tenure, and the much-loved sketch spawned the hit movies 'Wayne's World' in 1992 and the sequel 'Wayne's World 2' a year later. The theme behind Saturday's new sketch was the upcoming Academy Awards and 'Wayne' and 'Garth' mentioned the movie 'Winters Bone' several times, as well as making reference to Darren Aronofsky's psychological thriller 'Black Swan' and Facebook movie 'The Social Network'. The pair also reprised their famous catchphrase, 'No Way?' 'Way!'.

The biggest surprise of the night was reserved for the appearance of Justin Bieber, who was not listed in the opening credits, nor mentioned in the show's opening. However, the pop superstar appeared alongside Carvey in two sketches, including a return of the character 'Church Lady', a favourite of the comedians during his time as an SNL cast-member.

Sounds like the author is a bit too young to have known SNL when it was a great show to watch aka when Dana Carvey and Mike Myers where on it. Couldn't care less about most of the jokers on there now or that whathisface made some cameos. Bring some of the great former cast members on to host and I'll take the time to watch it.

So, Dana Carvey and Mike Myers bring back Wayne's World: a sketch that hadn't been on SNL in ages, and a property that Mike Myers himself is not that fond of, yet the shock of the night was the appearance of Justin Bieber: the 16 year old pop star whose being shoved down the throats of America?Pop journalism at it's finest.

Whomever wrote this doesn't know much about SNL. Those making cameo appearances are never in the opening credits, but the writing suggested shock that Justin Bieber wasn't mentioned.
