Dana Carvey has said that a viral rumour about his whereabouts on the day of 9/11 is, in fact, true.
The comedian was filming The Master of Disguise at the time of the terror attacks. In the film, he plays secret agent Pistachio Disguisey, who disguises himself as many characters throughout the film.
For years, it has been claimed that 11 September 2021 was the day that Carvey was filming scenes in one of the film’s most striking disguises – a bizarre-looking humanoid turtle – and that he “observed a moment of silence” while wearing it.
The rumour started after the piece of trivia was listed on the film’s IMDb page,
Wayne’s World star Carvey addressed this rumour during an episode of Fly on the Wall podcast on Wednesday (5 April).
“It’s kind of a sensitive topic, but after 9/11 I was shooting a movie called Master of Disguise,” he told his co-host, David Spade.

At it turns out the story is completely true, and even weirder than many would have expected, the actor revealed.
“I was in it [the Turtle Man costume] all of that day, and then they said we’re going to have a group prayer about 9/11,” Carvey said. “I would have held everyone up for a half hour, getting all that prosthetic makeup off. So as I remember it,...
