There was no Groundlings or Upright Citizens Brigade where I was from. I wasn't sure what he thought of me, but then later on he said he was already planning on what sketches I would be doing.īut that was a fluke - I'd never done sketch comedy. Yeah, he's very close-nested, sort of aloof. I did well enough that I met him outside on the sidewalk. Lorne walked in with Cher and Brandon Tartikoff, the head of (NBC) at the time. But then Lorne Michaels wanted to see me and I said, 'Oh, I got to be in a better environment.' Rosie O'Donnell was playing a club on the West Side called Igby's, so she let me come in and do 45 minutes instead of five minutes. One time I followed Sam Kinison at the Comedy Store at midnight with no introduction and I bombed, all the SNL people were there. I had auditioned for Saturday Night Live three times and I always bombed - not for Lorne, but for Al Franken and different people. What was your first meeting with Lorne Michaels like? But with me, it's more subterfuge, I don't think maybe people really notice.

I think the same kind of things I like to do, but I guess it's more pointed - a little darker, a little edgier. How do you think your stand-up's changed since Saturday Night Live and your other work in sketch and acting?

Our donation will cap at $2000.00.In an interview, Carvey discussed Saturday Night Live, The Dana Carvey Show and the Hans and Franz movie that never happened. ~Bob The fine print: Until October 31, 2012, Matchmaker will donate $2 to the National Breast Cancer Foundation for every “LIKE” on our company Facebook page. If you’d like to see me wearing pink, help make a $2 donation to a worthy cause, and restore my slighty bruised ego, please “Like” our Matchmaker Logistics page on Facebook by clicking here.

“Hear us now und believe us later…you won’t go viral like Arnold!” Well, “Pummela pummela pummela pummela pummela!” and color me pink. In true Hans and Franz fashion, they replied to my visions of grandeur. I’d love to donate as much as $2000 to the cause, but what if half a million people ‘liked’ my photo? Where would I come up with funds to honor my pledge to support breast cancer research? After all, more than 700,000 people had viewed this 13-second clip of Arnold Schwarzenegger with Hans and Franz…. “Should we put a limit on this?”, I asked our team, imagining the photo of me clad in pink creating a viral internet sensation. To prove my manhood, I accepted the challenge on one condition: for every person who likes our Facebook page between now and the end of October, we would donate $2 to the National Breast Cancer Foundation. If I didn’t accept her dare, I knew I risked a Hans and Franz-like officewide reputation of “girlie man”. Mary challenged me to change our Matchmaker Logistics Facebook profile to a photo of me, dressed in pink. Not only did she and our newest team member, Jennifer, send a photo from the Alabama office with the two of them both wearing pink hats, they also issued a challenge. But within minutes of posting my weekly email, our CIO (Chief Instigating Officer), Mary, had thrown down the gauntlet. They finally received their just deserts when Arnold Schwarzenegger himself made a guest appearance on the show, flexing his own steriod enhanced muscles and ridiculing “his cousins” for being girlie and weak.Īs the only male on the Matchmaker Logistics team, I didn’t expect my co-workers would challenge my admission in last week’s Thought for the Weekend: I don’t wear pink. To demonstrate their own incredible manhood, the pair would strike bodybuilder poses to show off their “muscled” bodies, complete with strained facial expressions. “Poor little girlie man alone in his girlie house!!” They referred to non-muscle-bound men as “girlie men”, a phrase that entered the pop culture lexicon thanks to the sketch: With padding for fake muscles, drab gray sweatsuits, weight belts, and hilariously bad Austrian accents, the two SNL comedians denigrated others for not being as strong and physically “fit” as they were. In these popular sketches which spoofed Arnold Schwarzenegger, Carvey and Nealon played a pair of muscle-bound Austrian jocks. “I am Hans.” “Und I am Franz.” “Und ve just vant to pump… (clap) …YOU UP!”

Do you remember that classic Saturday Night Live skit Pumping Up featuring Dana Carvey and Kevin Nealon as Hans and Franz?
