DANA CARVEY died after sabotaged heart surgery (disliked by Bush Senior, whom he satirized on SNL 1990-92)??
Replaced by imposter Fana Farvey? He's about appear in his first television/film role in SIX YEARS on a new HBO special "Squatting Monkeys (imitation of dead men) Tell No LIES." In it, Dana (Fana?) attacks the Democrats: Obama and Al Gore, and environmentalists, with cheap jokes. Also some token weak, watered down jokes about Bush Junior and Cheney.
Strangely little biographical information is available on Dana Carvey. I'm seeing different day/month dates for his birthday and
differing, contradictory information on his one or two marriages and children.

Is it just me, or does he look...bizarre in these pictures? I can't tell if it's intentional, or if he's sick, or if he got some botched plastic surgery.

He did have botched surgery, but not of the plastic variety.

It looks like a combo of bad PS and bad makeup.

Really, the only thing I want to see Dana Carvey do is another Wayne's World with Mike Myers.

From wikipedia:
After SNL
NBC executives hoped to get Carvey to take over the 12:30 a.m. (ET) weeknight spot in the network's lineup in 1993 when David Letterman left his show, Late Night with David Letterman, for an 11:30 p.m. (ET) show on CBS. A
big Letterman fan, Carvey rejected the offer, causing embarrassment for the network, which had publicly floated his name. The 12:30 spot eventually went to Conan O'Brien.In 1994, Carvey starred in the film Clean Slate.
He reprised many of his SNL characters in 1996 for The Dana Carvey Show, a critically acclaimed but short-lived prime-time variety show. The show was most notable for launching Robert Smigel's cartoon "The Ambiguously Gay Duo." In 1997, he underwent open-heart surgery for a blocked artery. Unfortunately, the doctors operated on the wrong artery. Carvey later sued for medical malpractice and was awarded $7.5 million. He has had to undergo a total of five medical procedures (four angioplasties and one surgery) to correct his heart problems. Carvey stated in an interview with Larry King that he donated all the money awarded to him from the lawsuit to charity. In 2002, he returned to the silver screen in the comedy
Master of Disguise, which was panned by critics but managed about $40 million at the North American box office.
He is number 90 on Comedy Central's list of the 100 Greatest Stand-ups of All Time.
A very private person, Carvey withdrew from the limelight to focus on his family. He later said in an interview that he doesn't want to be in a career in which his kids would already be grown with him having neglected time with them. Carvey may hold the distinction of being the only comedian ever to be imitated by a former President of the United States at the funeral of another former President of the United States. At
the January 2, 2007 funeral of Gerald Ford, George H. W. Bush reminisced in his eulogy about how Ford took it in stride when SNL's Chevy Chase made Ford the object of his own imitations. Bush cited this as a valuable lesson in learning to laugh at one's self as a part of public life. "I'd tell you more about that," Bush continued, "but as Dana Carvey would say, [imitating Carvey imitating him] 'Not gonna do it! Wouldn't be prudent!'".Recently, Carvey made a surprise appearance at the 2008 MTV Movie Awards, reprising his SNL character Garth Algar with host Mike Myers for a Wayne's World sketch.
