Ridiculous cast, excellent McCartney imitation

I was discussing Paul McCartney with former roommate and maverick economist Ted Burke, and he reminded me of the following sketch from The Dana Carvey Show.

Check out the cast: That’s Robert Smigel (of Triumph the Insult Comic Dog/TV Funhouse/Just about everything funny that’s ever happened fame) as Ringo, and a certain future Comedy Central pundit as George Harrison.

Also, Carvey’s short-lived show (which switched presenting sponsors every week and was briefly The Taco Bell Dana Carvey Show) counted the following among its writers: Steve Carell, Stephen Colbert, Dave Chappelle, Louis C.K., Charlie Kaufman and Smigel. I should probably acquire the DVD.

Part 2 here. EASTER EGG: A sandwich.

    • Funny you should mention: The 8th grade history “documentary” project me and my friends did on the Beatles featured me as Paul, and midway through a lip-sync performance I realized I was doing exactly the same thing, so right in the middle of the song you see me look a bit confused then switch the guitar around.
