Dana Carvey acknowledges that he isn’t very good at impersonating Elon Musk.
Dana Carvey’s “Saturday Night Live” impression of Elon Musk upset the tech mogul … and, even the comedian has to admit he doesn’t really sounds like the guy.
Here’s the deal … Dana and David Spade were chatting about an old ‘SNL’ memory on a recent episode of their “Superfly” podcast —
with Dana telling a story about how a hair dryer basically turned into a blowtorch and burned his locks.
Spade cracks a joke about Elon thinking a blow dryer turned flamethrower is a good idea … and, DC does his impression —
immediately followed by saying he “can’t do Elon Musk very well, but I can do something that sounds not like anything.”
Basically … fans looking for an authentic accent should look elsewhere —
but, no one will ever confuse what Dana’s doing with another famous figure.
DC explains it’s a hard accent to capture … partly ’cause it’s a mix of so many different places — from South Africa to Canada to Pennsylvania and more.
As we told you … Dana took the stage as Elon for the first time after Donald Trump won the presidential election during a cold open all about how the ‘SNL’ cast had always been on DJT’s side.
In the immediate aftermath, Elon posted on X … writing the whole cast was so mad Trump won. He also added, “Dana Carvey just sounds like Dana Carvey.”
We’re not sure Dana would go that for … but, he agrees that he doesn’t sound like Elon Musk.
