As if I needed another sign that I'm not as young as I once was is that I can vividly remember EVERY cast of "Saturday Night Live."  Like, I can remember watching them, "LIVE" on SNL.  So when I mentioned the name of Dana Carvey to my 19-year-old son and he said, "Who?"  It was a major gut punch.  To me, Carvey is a MONSTER talent of comedy.  I mean, he's "The Church Lady," "Garth" on "Wayne's World," and on SNL his impersonation of the first President Bush is/was iconic.  In fact, I didn't think he could do much better on a political front until I saw this from Colbert's show.  Dana Carvey IS President Joe Biden.
