Dana Carvey Announces Return to SNL in December

Dana Carvey will return to Saturday Night Live in December, following his recent impersonation of Elon Musk that drew criticism from the billionaire. Carvey admitted on his Superfly podcast that he struggles with Musk's accent, describing it as a mix of South African, Canadian, and British influences. Musk responded to Carvey's portrayal by stating that SNL has been 'dying slowly for years' and criticized the show's attempts to support Kamala Harris during the election. Despite the backlash, Carvey humorously reflected on the experience and shared a light-hearted anecdote about skipping off stage after his performances. His return comes after several appearances as President Biden, and he has not specified which character he will portray next. The episode where he played Musk was notable for airing right after Donald Trump's reelection announcement.
