As a longtime fan of Saturday Night Live (SNL), I find myself intrigued by the ongoing saga between Dana Carvey and Elon Musk. Having grown up watching SNL during its golden years, I can appreciate the talent and versatility that Dana Carvey brings to the table. His ability to seamlessly slip into various characters has always been a joy to watch.
Dana Carvey admitted that he hasn’t quite nailed his Elon Musk impersonation yet. He explained that Musk’s accent is a mix of influences from South Africa, Canada, Pennsylvania, and even hints of England and Australia.
Carvey recently hosted an episode of his Superfly podcast with fellow Saturday Night Live alum David Spade, to discuss their thoughts on the recent SNL Musk impression. In his words, “I don’t portray Elon Musk convincingly, but I can create something that doesn’t resemble anything familiar.
He possesses an extraordinary accent, a blend of South Africa, Canada, and Pennsylvania. There’s a hint of Australian and British influences, but he’s not entirely like either. This was explained by the actor known as The Master of Disguise in more detail. His remarks followed Musk’s criticism of a sketch on the November 9th edition of Saturday Night Live featuring Carvey, which made light of Donald Trump potentially winning the 2024 election.
Earlier, Elon Musk, CEO of Tesla, expressed his disapproval of Carvey’s portrayal on November 10 in a post that read: “Saturday Night Live has been gradually losing its relevance as it strays further from reality.
In his words, Musk stated, “Their desperate attempt to violate fair airtime regulations and boost Kamala prior to the election ultimately led to her campaign’s downfall instead.
As a lifestyle expert, I’d rephrase it this way: In the depicted scene, Carvey takes on the role of Musk, adopting a controversial “dark MAGA” persona. However, Musk swiftly refuted this portrayal, stating that Carvey merely sounded like himself, not the billionaire he was attempting to emulate. Musk voiced his thoughts on Twitter, simply saying, “Dana Carvey is just being Dana Carvey.
Despite admitting that his Elon Musk impersonation needed refinement, Carvey – who once again took on the role of President Joe Biden in SNL – declared he would be back for the December 7th episode, with Paul Mescal as host and Shaboozey as the musical guest. A regular cast member at the live sketch comedy show from 1986 to 1993, Carvey has recently resurfaced for the cold open following the elections.
