I weirdly find him cute and adorable in this interview 😂 For all the goofy and crazy characters he plays such as on SNL and Austin Powers, he is quite a shy and quiet person irl

@burteriksson they should make a movie with both Wayne's World & Bill & Ted in it like they did with Freddy vs Jason. Speakin of Bill & Ted I heard they're comin out with a new movie this summer if I'm not mistakin & Alex Winter & Keanu Reeves are still gonna play the roles of the characters in it.

@burteriksson Dana Carvey who played Garth is real good at doing celebrity impressions like on the Conan Obrien Show he did one of Bernie Sanders & he sounded exactly like him too. I've also liked him in The Master of Disguise.

@burteriksson you know that one cartoon Beavis & Butt-head? Back in the day when I first saw it I thought it was the retarded & gross version of Wayne's World & Bill & Ted. 😂😂😂

Kevin Richards that’s actually a great idea. They should call it Bill and Ted meet Wayne and Garth, and it could have Wild Stallions on the Wayne’s World Public Access show and then some shenanigans takes place and they have to work together on a road trip to do something or other in order to do something or other to save the world.

A Canadian interview about the origins of Wayne Cambpell, and there's no mention of "Wayne's Power Minute" on "It's Only Rock & Roll"? Clearly, the interviewer wasn't doing his homework.

Ironically, this interview probably could have been a scene in Wayne’s World without skipping a beat.

I just wish Wayne would confess his true Canadian roots. Not Stan's, but Tim's! Yeah, maybe Queen, but Max Webster, too! 'Bonjour, mes amis de malheur - nous sommes fous!'
