Fred Armisen’s silly tone and his super soap operas depicting Californians are something that lives rent-free in my head, specifically his saying “What are you doing here?” Whenever guest of the week comes. It turns out that this strange dialect has surprising origins, with Armisen revealing that it was his inspiration SNL Son of alum Dana Carvey.
In the diagrams, Armisen leads a group of silly characters who talk almost exclusively about driving in Los Angeles (because Southern California is hard to drive). Stewart, Armisen’s character, mumbles at his words, speaks with a strange valley accent, and is generally a very goofy character. While chatting with Dana Carvey and David Spade on the podcast fly on the wall (Opens in a new tab) The comedian revealed who helped inspire the character, saying:
I saw Dana – I was with him and we did a stand up show in San Francisco – and Dana was telling me about his son. And he’s just saying, “It’s hard to get mad at him,” because I think he was pulled over or something. He makes that impression of his son and says, “No, but, no, dad, no, you don’t know,” you know? And from that, while we were trying to make a California accent, while writing the sketch, the genre emerged.
He went on to say that the way his character spoke was based on Carvey’s impression of his son. The comedian behind Our Lady’s Church has continued to impress his children with a funny Valley accent in his podcast, and it becomes clear how all of this helped inspire the iconic Californian sketch.
It’s funny that Carvey’s kid helped inspire this character for a number of reasons. The first: It’s fun to know that this goofy thing is based on a real person, and the second: This adds to the list of characters the Carvey family has inspired. It is known that the file Wayne’s world The actor based his character Garth on his older brother Brad. Also, Mike Myers has opened up about how to do it Karvi is indirectly inspired Austin powers. Therefore, Karvi is not only lovable Saturday Night Live alum, but he’s also inspired many classic characters over the years.

Big stars also played silly characters in this drawing, including Mick Jagger, Josh Brolin, and Justin Bieber. You can check out this funny classic drawing here:
Armisen and Carvey are among the best in their field in my opinion, and it’s fun to see how the young comedian from the ’90s drew inspiration. SNL alum.
