Early Life & Family of Dana Carvey

Carvey was born in Missoula, Montana, to Billie Dahl, a teacher, & Bud Carvey, a high school business teacher, as the fourth of five children (three elder brothers and one younger sister). Carvey is the brother of Brad Carvey, the Video Toaster’s engineer and designer. Brad is loosely based on the character Garth Algar. Carvey was raised Lutheran and has English, German, Irish, Norwegian, as well as Swedish ancestry. His family relocated to San Carlos, California, in the San Francisco Bay Area, when he was three years old. He went to Tierra Linda Junior High in San Carlos, Carlmont High School in Belmont, California (where he was a part of the Central Coast Section champion cross country team), and College of San Mateo in San Mateo, California, before graduating from San Francisco State University with a bachelor’s degree in broadcast communications. He won the Stand-Up Comedy Competition in San Francisco in 1977.

Personal Life of Dana Carvey (Girlfriend, Wife & Kids)

Childhood sweethearts Leah & Dana Carvey married in 1979. Carvey met and fell in love with Paula Zwagerman while appearing at The Other Cafe in San Francisco during his marriage. Leah and Dana eventually divorced in 1980. Dana and Paula married in 1983 after becoming engaged in 1981. Dex, born in 1992, & Thomas, born in 1994, are the couple’s two children. Carvey had cardiac bypass surgery in 1997 for an obstructed coronary artery, but the surgeon performed the procedure on the wrong artery. The blocked artery was hidden deep within the muscle, making it difficult to locate; however, another, the unblocked artery was easily accessible. The bypass was performed on an unobstructed artery by mistake. As a result, Carvey had angina pectoris and successfully sued for $7.5 million in damages. He gave the money to a good cause. He needed more surgery to address his heart issues. He told Newsday that Frank Sinatra died in the room next to his while he was in the hospital for his final angioplasty. Carvey and his family live in Mill Valley, California, in Marin County.

Dana Carvey’s Career

Dana Carvey had established himself as a stand-up comedian by 1977. That year, he won the San Francisco Stand-Up Comedy Competition, which was his first major accomplishment. Dana made the switch to cinema work in the early 1980s, with a small appearance in “Halloween II.” The next year, he appeared opposite Mickey Rooney, Nathan Lane, & Meg Ryan in the tv series “One of the Boys.” He got another little part in the 1984 film “This Is Spinal Tap.” Following that, he participated in another TV show called “Blue Thunder,” which, like his prior TV appearance, was short-lived. Dana got his big break in 1986. He starred alongside Kirk Douglas & Burt Lancaster in the film “Tough Guys,” and his performance cemented his place in the entertainment world. Dana was offered hosting gigs on TV game programs, but she ultimately decided to join “Saturday Night Live.” This elevated him even further in the world of entertainment, and he’s one of the key figures in saving the show from rating decline. Dana became known for a variety of characters in numerous skits during his stint on “Saturday Night Live,” including the “Church Lady” and “Garth Algar,” who could really later make appearances “Wayne’s World.” Carvey played George H. W. Bush during this time period. He appeared in “Wayne’s World” with Mike Myers in 1992. He appeared in “Wayne’s World 2” a year later, reprising his role as Garth. Carvey opted to spend the next several years as a new parent focusing on his family. He turned down hosting jobs and a feature in the film “Bad Boys” as a result of this. He starred in “Clean Slate” in 1994. He hosted the short-lived “Dana Carvey Show” in 1996, which helped Steve Carell and Stephen Colbert establish their careers. He acted in the film “Little Nicky” during this time period. His career took a fall in 2002 after he featured in “Master of Disguise,” largely regarded as one of the worst films of all time. Critics panned it so brutally that Carvey stepped away from the spotlight until 2011. In the same year, he starred in another disaster, “Jack and Jill.” Carvey withdrew from public life entirely after his second setback. He focused on stand-up comedy for the next few years, with occasional performances on comedy sketch shows.
