Dex Carvey’s legacy
Dex Carvey came from comic royalty. His father, Dana Carvey, was a mainstay on “Saturday Night Live” and was one half of the “Wayne’s World” duo with Mike Myers. Both Dex and his younger brother, Thomas, followed in their father’s footsteps, pursuing their own brand of comedy, often on podcasts and YouTube.
Carvey appeared in “Joe Dirt 2: Beautiful Loser,” as well as on the TV miniseries “The Funster” and “Beyond the Comics,” the latter of which he also worked on as an editor. Outside of television and movies, he performed stand-up comedy, including a gig opening his father’s 2016 Netflix special, “Dana Carvey: Straight White Male, 60.”
