Hosting 'Saturday Night Live' this weekend, Dana Carvey embraced old-school comedy. And as the episode kicked off, viewers (of a certain age!) shared a powerful time-travel moment seeing that old favorite, 'Wayne's World,' reunite Carvey and Mike Myers.The topic up for discussion/ridicule: the 2011 Oscar nominees. And the boys seemed to pick up right where they left off. (A nerd says what?)
The original sketches began recurring on 'SNL' in the late '80s when Myers and Carvey were in the cast, before the duo made two 'Wayne's World' movies in the early '90s. Now, as if very little time had passed, Wayne and Garth look oddly the same as always -- that is, like two middle-aged guys in mullet wigs playing juvenile slackers by using, for the most part, that old magic trick: acting.
It wasn't their first 21st-century reunion; Wayne and Garth popped up on 2008's MTV Movie Awards. Still, the series has been loading up on cameos and surprise guests this season, and this opener was a nostalgic treat.

Not for a lot of us, Dorko. Why don't you go Tweet or Text something and don't concern yourself with late night humor, which you seem to know nothing about!!!
you can do better, clown?
Excellent bit. Just too short.
I thought Dana Carvey was awesome last night.I agree with KK1610, Dana hardly looked different from 20 years ago, and Mike Myers too! Best show in a long time.I love this , So does My boyfriend .he is almost 11year older than me .i met him via agegapsin gles.c'om a nice place for seeking age le ss love.which gives you a chance to make your life better and open opportunities for you to meet the attractive young girls and treat you like a king. Maybe you wanna check it out or tell your friends.. Just love it
Does that mean they are bringing back Kelly Ripa? Oh wait, she was the munchkin they found on the side of the yellow brick road. My Mistake

Those type of people wouldn't know what hummor was even if a monkey flew out of thier butt's.
Hummor? Thier butt's?
ILLITERACY isn't funny; I'll tell you THAT much!
Which was more sad? The fact they needed Meyers & Lovitz to shore up their weak host or the how flat Carvey's monologue fell? Sad...

I love it - the people that criticize and dismiss SNL but they're STILL watching!

Yeah, I watched for all of 10 minutes before I realized Dana Carvey STILL sucks.
I LOVED that skit! Brought back lots of good memories, including riding my bike with my best friend to the movie theater to see the Wayne's World and dressing up with the same friend as Wayne and Garth that Halloween. Mike Meyers and Dana Carvey hardly look different from 20 years ago-- good for them!

Anyone else find it creepy (and very sad) that the intro for the piece was Phil Hartman?
RIP Phil. You were the real king of SNL.

Nothing creepy about it at all. More like a heartfelt tribute to their friend.
I knew a guy that had a Wayne car and he totaled it.
That was when WW died for me, lol, poor car !!

Bring Wayne and Garth back and get rid of the current cast. Believe me, we've lost our loving feeling...
If you could have any 5 cast members for 1 new season, who would they be?

I can think of a lot of great cast members after the original Not Ready for Prime Time Players: Eddie Murphy, Joe Piscopo, Dana Carvey, Mike Myers, Jon Lovitz, David Spade, Dennis Miller, Billy Crystal, Martin Short...for the ladies: Jan Hooks, Pamela Stephenson, Victoria Jackson, Julia Sweeney, Tina Fey, Amy Poehler, there are lots more...narrowing it down to JUST five is a tough call. Of course, you'd have to call up some members of the Five Timers Club to host: Tom Hanks, Paul Simon, Steve Martin. And while he's still among us: let's not forget Don Pardo!
