Dana Carvey has admitted that he turned down Robin Williams’s request to appear in his Saturday Night Live “Church Lady” sketch, because he was nervous that the late comedian could outshine him.
The former SNL castmember recalled the “heartbreaking” moment on a recent episode of his co-hosted Fly on the Wall podcast with David Spade, explaining that his decision came out of fear that Williams’s “excited” energy would overshadow his signature segment.
