Dana Carvey is back at work roughly two months after his son, Dex Carvey , died from an accidental overdose in November.
The comedian, in a return to his Fly on the Wall podcast with David Spade , spoke on his sons death at the start of this weeks episode and reflected on the incredible amount of support sent to him and his family.
I thought about this over the holidays, and I decided to come back to the podcast because I think, you know, its a long day when youre not working, and you get in your head. And I think its going to be a great break. And I think its really cool to laugh, he said.
Spade, who launched the podcast with Carvey in 2022, noted goodwill out there before acknowledging that the late Chris Farleys mother wrote a letter for Spade to give to his co-host.
Carvey said the support has been very sweet, telling Spade that the grieving process will be me and my wife and our sons private journey.

Carvey said, Were all together. We do a lot of fun things. We really hike, go to church, you just want to be sure that you keep moving.
He continued: You just want to make sure you keep moving and, like I said, doing this and riffing with you, I think, is going to be very healthy for me as I recover because Im kind of on the pain train with about millions of other people on this planet. And you dont know how long youre going to be on it or when it will stop or when it will get better. But in the meantime, all this kind of stuff is very healthy.
