Dana Carvey’s son, Dex, recently passed away at age 32, leaving behind promising comedy work that boded well for his future. With a career rooted in the entertainment industry, Dex followed in the footsteps of his father Dana, and found his place in the world of comedy. Dana, renowned for his numerous accomplishments including five consecutive Primetime Emmy awards for Saturday Night Live, undoubtedly passed down his remarkable talent to his beloved son.

In 2016, Dex made his debut as an opener for his father during the filming of his widely acclaimed Netflix special, Straight White Male. He has also showcased his talent in various other projects, such as the 2016 short film Carpool Pandering. He also appeared in the 2015 movie Joe Dirt 2: Beautiful Loser alongside SNL alum David Spade.

According to IMDb, he also had roles in the 2014 miniseries Beyond the Comics and the 2013 miniseries The Funster. Additionally, he has showcased his talents on stage alongside his brother, Thomas, who is also involved in comedy.

On Thursday, Dana Carvey shared an image of himself working on comedy with Dex on Twitter. The pair are shown laughing together as Dex looks over Dana’s shoulder at an iPad. “Dex and me working together,” Carvey wrote alongside the snapshot. “What a joy.”
