Too Funny to Fail (2017)

The Life and Death of the Dana Carvey Show

A documentary about the short lived Dana Carvey Show. It ran for 8 episodes in March and April 1996. The last episode never aired. There are a number of people who are well known today who worked on the show, most notably Steve Carell and Stephen Colbert.

I enjoyed this movie quite a bit. It was interesting to hear the story of what went right and what went wrong from the people who were there working on the show, a tv critic, and a network executive. There are lots of clips from the show.

I didn't like the way they used music to try and tell the viewer what the tone of the scene was but other than that I thought this movie was fun, funny, and informative.

As of right now this movie is only available on Hulu.
