Comedian Dana Carvey is known for impersonating celebrities, but he's also mastered "micro impressions" of stars like John Travolta and Jerry Seinfeld.
Think I'd have to put him at #1. Though I have to credit Darrell Hammond for doing the far more difficult real John Travolta as opposed to Vinny Barbarino.
Dana has always been a master at picking up on small but defining quirks that make his impressions both spot-on and really funny. I've never seen anyone else do Trump's weird sideways shrugging gesture before - great stuff.
Patrick Fallon Yeah true, even in Wayne's world I feel like that, even though it might be his most popular movie, don't really show off all his acting chops.
I watched more than 300 comedians including the greatest of all time ( in america George Carlin ) France ( Coluche) and others DANA CARVEY IS ONE OF THE MOST UNDERESTIMATED COMEDIANS IN AMERICA. and I think the reason being is that he is not VULGAR. Vulgarity sells well now days. It goes hand in hand with the decline and fall of WESTERN CIVILIZATION. Just 20 years or 30 years back most ( and I said most ) comedians made you laugh hard without ever uttering the f word, for you see being funny does not necessitate debasement of the human character.
Hi Ellen! This is my story, how I became Girl of Steel. :) At 12 years old, January 2010, I thought my life was over. I had a massive spinal curvature which was so severe it was crushing my organs. In November 2010, I underwent two major and lengthy surgeries just a week apart. I was told I would be in the hospital for a month and got out at two weeks! My curvature went from 107 to 35 degrees!! I have two steel rods and fourteen screws in my spine. I'm girl of Steel (also known as Super Girl)! After being called hunchback I never wanted to speak about scoliosis again, until Shriners Hospitals for Children (who never charged my family any bills) asked me if I would like to speak about my experience at a fundraiser. Getting to share my story brought closure. When I was 17, I was living my best life. I played soccer and basketball for my high school. My public speaking was starting to sound professional. At 17 my mom and I got an idea! When I had the surgeries, my hair became extremely tangled. It took my mom at my bedside for hours brushing my hair even with conditioner to get all the tangles out. Once untangled, she styled my hair into two braids. Being 12, I rebelled. I didn't like it. So my favorite nurse said "every little girl needs braids!" Mine and my mom's big idea was to send some ponytail holders to the California Shriners Hospitals that saved my life, and call it Every Little Girl Needs Braids! Our mission became to help girls feel beautiful and confident while keeping their hair untangled in the hospital. We want to inspire them with the story behind ELGNB to show them that they are not their disabilities. ELGNB took off. We received thousands of all kinds of hair accessories! Now, after two and a half years, we are about to send our sixth box. We have already sent packages to hospitals across the U.S. It has always been my dream to be on your show! :) ❤ #ellenmeetgirlofsteel Kaitlyn Hawkins
Whenever someone does an impression of Travolta, they always do it in the voice of Vinnie Barbarino. No, he does NOT talk like that in real life. BUT... if they just did a straight Travolta, it wouldn't really be funny, now would it?
How refreshing to see this super talented human being. Still one of the best impressionists ever in comedy history.

He is great - entertaining, and funny! He is a talented, on-point impersonator.

Sometimes I forget that Dana Carvey isn’t Paul McCartney

Patrick Fallon Yeah true, even in Wayne's world I feel like that, even though it might be his most popular movie, don't really show off all his acting chops.
