Party on! Dana Carvey says he’s ready for Wayne’s World 3 with Mike Myers – 30 years after last movie: ‘I’m always game’

Dana Carvey said he’s ready to party on to a third Wayne’s World movie, if co-star Mike Myers is willing.

The duo, who reprised their roles as teenage access TV stars for a Super Bowl commercial in January 2021, have been tossing around the ideas for years.

At the Mark Twain Prize ceremony for American Humor event honoring Dana and Mike’s former SNL cast mate Adam Sandler Sunday, Dana, 67, told People we was ‘always game’ to star in another adventure. 

When asked if a Wayne’s World 3 was a possibility, the comedian was quick to answer, ‘Yes, it is.’

He hedged his answer just a bit, explaining ‘I don’t know. Maybe we’ll do it in puppets,’ he joked, before settling on, ‘I’m not sure.’

Cult classic: Wayne's World was released in 1992 and based on the popular SNL sketches about two teens hosting an community access TV show in Wayne's basement. The movie exceeded expectations and earned $183 million and has since become a cult classic

‘I’m always game,’ he said. ‘Love Mike Myers. Just a brilliant guy.’

The 1992 film which was based on the popular Saturday Night Live sketches performed by Mike, now 59, and Dana went on to earn $183 million, although expectations for the film’s success were quite low, based on the project’s $20 millon budget.

A 1993 sequel soon followed with new adventures for characters Wayne Campbell and his sidekick Garth Algar, but did not perform as well at the box office, pulling in some $72 million. 

A picture shared on Dana’s Instagram account February 21 of Garth painting a portrait of Wayne reclining on a basement sofa resulted in thousands of hopeful comments from fans.

Josh Gad wrote ‘Please let it be 3.’

‘Wayne and Garth had less than anybody in the town. They drove a horrible car.’ he explained.

‘They lived with their parents. They had no money, but they’re having more fun than anyone in the town.’ 

‘It’s a very light movie, ultimately,’ he concluded.
