Dana Carvey returns to ‘SNL’ in December and responds to Elon Musk

Dana Carvey isn’t done with his return to Saturday evening livealthough he’s probably wrapping up the Elon Musk impression for now.

While she shared an anecdote about recent host John Mulaney, the SNL alum revealed he’s returning to the NBC sketch comedy show next month amid his guest appearances as Joe Biden and Musk.

“When you leave the good nights behind SNLsometimes you do it with the host. You go under the stands and come out. So I think it was John Mulaney. He just went right in front of me, and I think he went too, and then he started jumping,” he recalled on his Super fly podcast. “And I also started jumping, and jumping feels really good compared to walking or even running. It’s a bit gentle.”

Carvey continued, “So now, if you ever run into me SNL — I’m going back in December — you’ll see me come off stage, remember, in a few seconds I’ll be skipping a long time. That’s part of baseball.”

The Emmy winner also responded to Musk’s outrage over his recent impression of the X and Tesla mogul, admitting he had misunderstood it.

“I can’t play Elon Musk very well,” Carvey admitted. “But I can do something that doesn’t look like anything. He has an incredible accent: South Africa via Canada, via Pennsylvania. It almost seems like it’s a bit Australian, a bit British, but it’s not quite that.”

Musk previously stated that the show has been “slowly dying for years” after Carvey impersonated him during a post-election cold open. “Dana Carvey just sounds like Dana Carvey,” he wrote on his own platform.

After his seven seasons from 1986 to 1993, Carvey returned to the club SNL this season, he plays President Joe Biden in the lead-up to Election Day, alongside Maya Rudolph as Vice President Kamala Harris, Andy Samberg as Doug Emhoff and Jim Gaffigan as Tim Walz.
