As a longtime Saturday Night Live enthusiast and connoisseur of Dana Carvey’s iconic characters, I must say that it was a pure delight to witness the return of The Church Lady after all these years. It’s as if time has stood still when she graces our screens with her wig, glasses, and unyielding righteousness.
In a nod to Saturday Night Live’s 50th season, the latest episode started off with Dana Carvey reappearing as his classic character, The Church Lady. In her opening remarks, she labeled 2024 as the most satanic year ever, and then took aim at entities like Wicked and Sabrina Carpenter. True to form, several familiar faces joined in, with Sarah Sherman portraying Matt Gaetz, David Spade as Hunter Biden, and Marcello Hernandez as Juan Soto, all taking part in the skit alongside The Church Lady.
Some of The Church Lady’s best jokes in the segment include:
- On Wicked, “It’s just like The Wizard of Oz but instead of saying ‘Lions, Tigers, and Bear, Oh My!’ They say ‘Lions, Tigers, and Sluts, oh yes!’”
- On Sabrina Carpenter; “You know who was the best carpenter? Jesus,” and “He’s working late, cause he’s a Savior…”
- On Sherman’s Matt Gaetz, “It looks like your forehead is trying to go to heaven without you.”
- On Spade’s Hunter Biden, “Pardon you? Who do you think I am, your daddy?”
- On Hernandez’s Juan Soto, “I hear they’re going to pay you $700 million to smack some balls around with your big stick. We love to hit a baseball and make more money than Jesus.”

Initially appearing on the October 11, 1986 episode of Saturday Night Live, The Church Lady quickly won over audiences and was made a regular character soon afterward. In season 12 alone, Dana Carvey played The Church Lady in eight episodes. From 1987 to 1990, he donned the wig and glasses for just ten additional appearances before leaving Saturday Night Live in 1993. Interestingly, when Carvey returned as a host in 1996, 2000, and 2011, he brought back The Church Lady character in all three instances.
In tonight’s episode of Saturday Night Live, Dana Carvey is back as The Church Lady for the first time in a decade, with the last time he portrayed this iconic character being in a 2016 Weekend Update segment featuring Colin Jost. Interestingly, he also played The Church Lady six months prior to that in May of 2016. Therefore, tonight’s performance is only the third time Carvey has reprised his role as The Church Lady during the 2010s.
