Dana Carvey Tackles Last-Minute Jennifer Coolidge Impression on SNL
The comedian portrayed a 100-year-old Coolidge in a whimsical sketch, highlighting his adaptability on the show's 50th season.
- Dana Carvey was asked to perform a Jennifer Coolidge impression just two days before the live Saturday Night Live show.
- The sketch, titled 'Maybelline,' featured Chloe Fineman and Ariana Grande alongside Carvey's portrayal of a Coolidge trapped in a mirror.
- Carvey described the sketch as 'acid-y' and 'esoteric,' admitting he didn't fully grasp its concept but enjoyed the experience.
- The final version of the sketch was trimmed for time, with several elements, including a humorous corn-eating segment, cut from the live show.
- Carvey's performance marked his first time in drag on SNL, differing from his previous iconic Church Lady character.
