Calgary Mike Myers Tells How Dana Carvey Helped Him Through 'Very Sad' Moment On 'SNL' | HuffPost Entertainment - Action.News ABC Action News WestNet-HD Weather Traffic

Mike Myers gushed Thursday about his Waynes World pal Dana Carvey and their lasting connection. (Watch the video below.)

Their alter-egos Wayne and Garth became beloved characters on Saturday Night Live, and the comedians made two successful films in the 90s as the rockin slackers on public-access TV.

But on the 40th anniversary special for SNL in 2015, Myers got hit with a serious bout of melancholy, he told Stephen Colbert on The Late Show. Myers and Carvey were due to reprise their characters in a segment, but the in- memoriam section aired first. Myers said he got very very sad at the mention of fellow SNL alum Jan Hooks, who had died recently of throat cancer.

Myers recalled turning to Carvey and saying, Are we dead now that were going on after the whos-died thing?

And Dana went, No, fuck em, were gonna kick their ass, Myers remembered.

I was like, Dude thats exactly right and we went out there and boom just knocked em dead. Thats what I love about Dana.
