If Carvey were actually funny and not just dead-on, I guess this would be brilliant.

The hit-and-miss Carvey maintained a pretty impressive batting average for its first two weeks, thanks in part to a hopped-up pace that didn't allow the stinkier bits to linger too long. But under pressure from sponsors (to tone down the gross humor) and ABC (to keep up the ratings between Home Improvement and NYPD Blue), Carvey has fallen back into old SNL habits. Which means protracted one-joke talk-show-host parodies.
