Fly on the Wall with Dana Carvey and David Spade

Love Fly on the Wall. I laughed so much listening to the “mustard” episode. But had to do some research after listening. I didn’t think burgers came with mustard at McDonalds and found out it’s a Regional thing. Downstate NY where I live only has ketchup. Internet says we consider mustard for hot dogs.

Just started listening. Fun to listen. Dana is awesome. David is great but he always sounds somewhat disgusted with everything. But the Mike Meyers episode was truly moving. He is incredible in so many ways. His story of George Harrison touched me deeply. I was a huge fan. Lots of other good episodes. I love to laugh so this is my favorite podcast.

Literally makes my week to listen to these guys each week. Laugh out loud in public while listening and always look forward to the hilarious banter. Two comedic Gods, please never stop this podcast!

I love you guys, the shows but PLEASE, PLEASE stop eating while recording! It makes my skin crawl and I want to throw my phone. You have the ability to pause or edit. Many people suffer from misophonia and it is our responsibility to deal with it but I’m begging you to just pause the recording while you need to eat or drink.

Love podcast but you constantly interrupt the guests. You ask questions and then Dana constantly talks over them. I was looking forward to Brendan Fraser talking about The Mummy and he barely got a sentence out without being interrupted. Not really a fly on the wall if you’re talking over people.

I like the idea of this pod better than its actual execution. I realize the premise is two SNL alums from a long time ago jawing with others about the joys and perils of being on SNL. Immediately, its appeal is limited. It’s obviously not relatable to most people. It still COULD feasibly be funny, since most of the audience found SNL funny, at least at some point in time. And, they’re comedians. BUT, Dana Carvey just comes off as super needy, which is kind of sad. He interrupts guests constantly and talks over the guest about himself and his experiences as Church Lady, or whatever. We’ve heard this all before. A lot. Like, in almost every episode. Honestly, not that interesting (nor was it back in its heyday, I’m afraid). We tune in largely to hear the guest, who is often silent in the background listening to Dana bring the conversation back to himself and his impressions which, of course, results in the guest feeling obligated to compliment him on his impressions. David must go home at the end of the day totally exhausted by this. Enough already. Seriously. Also, I’ve read some reviews by listeners getting frustrated with Dana and David’s more conservative political leanings being sometimes on display in their podcast. I don’t really care one way or the other who they support politically. And, to be fair, the great majority of podcasters out there are clearly left-leaning, so I don’t see why there can’t be right-leaning podcasters, as well. (We are a democracy, right? Maybe?) However, I wouldn’t mind if every podcaster would simply keep their political views to themself. The biggest cringe is the “Dana factor”, I’m sorry to say. It kind of blows the whole show. Many people say that Dana is narcissistic, but it actually comes off as his having a very low self-esteem. I know you’ve met people like this. You come away from the pod actually feeling sorry for him. Bummer.
