Although his delivery isn't as polished as it could be (his recent health issues and lack of time on the road might be all it is), Carvey showed he could be a possible successor to George Carlin's Angry Everyman. His description of getting older and getting injuries doing nothing was pretty damn funny. "I'll just answer the phone and aaauuuuggghhhhh!!! I just tore my deltoid!" He also rips on just about every politician equally (Yay!) and shows a sharp wit for catching the stuff in life a lot of us might miss, like the uh, bathroom habits of bears as interpreted by Andy Rooney. I don't think this guy ever got the credit he deserved in the creation of Wayne and Garth, because Mike Myers without Carvey just isn't funny. Carvey's sketch show was hilarious, but sadly short lived. Hopefully this will see him back as a top standup and maybe he'll catch the big break he really deserves. Genius. Do not miss.
