Comedian Dana Carvey, known for his presidential impersonations on "Saturday Night Live," recently turned his comedic talents towards Dr. Anthony Fauci, former director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases. During a podcast appearance with fellow "SNL" alum David Spade, Carvey delivered a satirical impression of Fauci's evolving COVID-19 guidance, generating laughter from Spade and the production crew.
The comedic exchange began with Carvey and Spade reflecting on the COVID-19 pandemic. Carvey's sarcastic remark, "I miss COVID," prompted Spade to share his observations on perceived inconsistencies in pandemic protocols, questioning why international arrivals were seemingly exempt from vaccine mandates while domestic workers faced restrictions.
Carvey then launched into his Fauci impression, mimicking the doctor's voice and mannerisms while satirizing the evolving recommendations on vaccines and boosters. He portrayed Fauci explaining the supposed ineffectiveness of multiple vaccines and boosters, culminating in a recommendation for a daily COVID shot that provides only 39 seconds of immunity. Carvey's performance, complete with a comedic facial expression and lowered sunglasses, sent Spade into fits of laughter.
