TELEVISION - April 24, 1993

Carvey Leaving ‘SNL’: Dana Carvey isn’t coming back to “Saturday Night Live” but will pursue feature film roles instead, according to the May 13 edition of Rolling Stone. “I’m not closing the door entirely--I may go back and do occasional sketches. But clearly I don’t see myself ever being a full-time cast member again. I had my run, and it’s time to move on,” Carvey said. Although he dashed NBC’s hope that he would replace David Letterman on late-night TV, Carvey left himself open to doing a TV talk show--”the only forum in show business where you’re allowed to improvise. That’s exhilarating to me.”
