yes, that’s dana carvey and stephen colbert, and yes, that show was on for seven episodes. the dana carvey show has been lost to the ravenous maw of history, but check out this roster, which i’ll put in bold so it can properly kick your ass:

your dana carvey show writing staff includes: dana carvey, steven colbert, steve carell, dave chappelle, louis c. k., robert smigel, and charlie “screenwriter superstar” kaufman!

there are more — i just don’t have the strength to type their names. if you put this group of people together again right now, present day, the television world would explode, then implode, then burst into flames, then crash onto your house and you’d lose everything, but you would be damn happy about it. they’d just have to call it the steven colbert, steve carell, dave chappelle, louis c. k., robert smigel, and charlie “screenwriter superstar” kaufman show! (with guest host, dana carvey).

poor dana. he really deserved better than… well, everything since wayne’s world.

trapped in paradise was okay though. so i guess that’s the happy ending.
