On television, Dana Carvey hosted the 1992 presentation of the MTV Music Awards, co-starred in two pilots and was a member of the Showtime special "Salute to the Improvisation," with Billy Crystal, Robin Williams and Robert Klein. In 1995, Dana performed stand-up in his own one-hour comedy special on HBO, aptly named "Critics' Choice."

During the 1992 campaign, he did a dead-on impression of independent candidate Ross Perot; in a prime-time special before the election, Carvey played both Bush and Perot in a three-way debate with Bill Clinton, who was played by Phil Hartman. As Perot, Carvey declined to say the show's signature "Live from New York" opening line because he was actually on tape.

Does anyone have a link or remember the Dana Carvey stand up comedy show where he came out and started screaming "Niners" over and over again. It was a national special filmed in SF during his prime. He is a local guy so it was awesome.
