Dana Carvey Sketch from 1996 GOP Primary


Yesterday I was watching the Dana Carvey Show (1996) and there was a sketch about the 1996 Republican presidential primary that made me think of the 2020 Democratic primary due to the three candidates presented and their place in the race. It’s not a perfect parallel but is still a fun comparison. Featured in the video are: the moderate front runner seen as old and incoherent (Bob Dole), the ideological challenger that pulls the race in a rightward direction (Pat Buchanan, played by a young Steve Carell), and the wealthy businessman that spends millions but achieves little (Steve Forbes).
