Wayne's World
"Wayne's World" is a comedy franchise originally created by Mike Myers and developed with Dana Carvey. The sketches and films focus on Wayne Campbell (Myers) and Garth Algar (Carvey), co-hosts of a local public-access television program in Aurora, Illinois called Wayne's World.
The character of Wayne first appeared as an off-camera character on MuchMusic before evolving, in 1987, into an on-camera character in a segment titled "Wayne's Power Minute" on the CBC Television series It's Only Rock & Roll.
The segment further evolved into a recurring sketch on Saturday Night Live primarily from 1989 to 1994 (with additional segments in 2011 and 2015).
During their time on Saturday Night Live, Wayne's World spawned two films, Wayne's World (1992) and Wayne's World 2 (1993). The series also produced a VCR board game titled Wayne's World in 1992. Three video games (an adventure game and two platform games), all titled Wayne's World were released in 1993, variously for NES, Super NES, Sega Genesis, Game Boy and MS-DOS.
Several of the series' catchphrases have since entered the pop-culture lexicon.[citation needed]
The sketch centered on a local public-access television program in Aurora, Illinois, hosted by Wayne Campbell (Mike Myers, the same actor from "Wayne's Power Minute"), an enthusiastic long-haired metalhead. Wayne lives with his parents and broadcasts his show "live" from the basement of their house every Friday evening at 10:30. A prototype of the Wayne character had appeared several years prior on CITY-TV in Toronto's overnight show City Limits.
The show was co-hosted by Wayne's timid and sometimes high-strung, yet equally metal-loving sidekick and best friend, Garth Algar (Dana Carvey). Carvey developed this character based on his brother.
In the early sketches, Wayne and Garth are high school students, and their guests on the show included their teachers (including one played by Ed O'Neill, who would later play a very similar character in both films), and other students from school (such as Nancy, a "babe" played by Jan Hooks). Other frequent guests included Garth's father, "Beev" (played by Phil Hartman), so named because of his teeth. He was often ridiculed by Wayne despite the fact that he was married to Hillary Algar (Candice Bergen), whom Wayne considers a "babe".
