Dana Carvey Weighs In On His Impromptu Ice Cream Act With Maya Rudolph During SNL Appearance; Details Inside

As a die-hard Saturday Night Live fan with a soft spot for Dana Carvey’s hilarious antics, I simply can’t contain my delight over his recent ice cream escapade with the brilliant Maya Rudolph! The man never fails to make me laugh, and this spontaneous skit was no exception.


More recently, Dana Carvey reminisced about his impromptu ice cream-throwing sketch alongside Maya Rudolph during a recent Saturday Night Live broadcast. The actor, making a comeback on the show as Joe Biden, and Rudolph, portraying Kamala Harris, brought laughter to viewers’ homes with their unruly yet side-splitting performance on television screens. In his Fly on the Wall podcast, Carvey declared that this particular incident was among the most memorable highlights of the episode for him.

During his performance, Carvey admitted to the crowd that he secretly requested an ice cream cone from the props team for use in the sketch. But unexpectedly, some of it ended up on Rudolph’s face – something that wasn’t part of the original scheme.

He explained, “I requested the props department to hand me a small ice cream prop for the fashion show, but they gave me a larger one instead, which I hadn’t asked for.

The actor explained, “In my mind, I had the thought, ‘Ice cream, large mouth. Maya’s face.’ I didn’t want to cause her harm, but the idea just popped up and I acted on it in a matter of seconds. This should clear up all the speculation and gossip.

While Maya Rudolph appeared taken aback and even attempted to hide a smirk towards Dana, it’s worth noting that the actor defended himself on his podcast, stating emphatically that his portrayal of the president was not meant as an insult or degradation during the show.

Carvey stated that he thinks it’s more palatable for the audience to grasp humor related to Biden, given that he is no longer in the running for the presidency.

The actor clarified, “The oven was quite warm since the individual is a president, who’s competing for another term against Trump. There was a lot more political excitement surrounding it. Now that it’s over, I find it amusing and entertaining.

In addition to Biden, Carvey also impersonated several politicians on the show between 1986-1993, with George W. Bush being one of them. Other SNL cast members who took on the role of Joe Biden include Jason Sudeikis, Woody Harrelson, John Mulaney, Jim Carrey, Alex Moffat, James Austin Johnson, and Mikey Day.
