Before Dana Carvey made it big on Saturday Night Live — even before he co-starred with Mickey Rooney in the sitcom flop One of the Boys or as a helicopter cop in Blue Thunder — he filmed a pilot for a situation comedy that co-starred ultimate showbiz nepo baby Desi Arnaz Jr. The son of America’s favorite comedy couple, Lucille Ball and Desi Arnaz, never duplicated his parents’ success despite his mother’s best efforts.
The pilot was called Whacked Out, Carvey told fellow SNL alum Chris Kattan on his Idiotically Speaking podcast. What was the sitcom about? That’s hard to say. One of the show’s writers blogged about his experience filming the pilot but neglected to mention his creation’s premise or plot, fixating on how starstruck he was in the presence of Ball.
In Carvey’s conversation with Kattan, the plot of Whacked Out was also of little concern.
