Dana Carveyhas the best memories of his time onSaturday Night Live.

The actor, 70, appeared on the latest installment ofThe Rundown, a new short-form series fromColin Jostlooking back at some of SNL's most unforgettable sketches, challenging alumni of the sketch comedy show to pick a favorite.

"With Garth, he didn't have a lot of lines, but Mike told me that Garth worshipped Wayne. So I started really enjoying his little jokes," he shared of the signature sketch, which led to the filmsWayne's World(1992) andWayne's World 2(1993).

"Mike MyersisWayne's World," Carvey declared onThe Rundown. "He built the house. He let me rent a room."

The particularWayne's Worldsketch Carvey picked came from an episode whereAerosmithwas the musical guest. "When we knew Aerosmith was going to be the musical guest, and they worshipped that era of rock and worshiped Aerosmith."

It was made even more special by the fact that Carvey got to perform theWayne's Worldtheme with the band. "I was allowed to play drums on the theme song. And the first time I rehearsed it, Steven Tyler looked around and he laughed so hard," theMaster of Disguiseactor said.

"They are party on," the Emmy winner said of the recurring characters. "They are just joy, fun. To me, the secret sauce was the so-called two losers in town, they live with their parents, they have no money, they have an AMC Pacer, and they're by far the happiest people in the town."

Carvey added, "You always want to get in a really big, funny sketch with your friends, where everything just flows and is landing."

Elsewhere in the appearance, Carvey talks about mastering his infamous impersonation ofSNLcreator Lorne Michaels.

"The way I learned to do Lorne would be after the read through on Wednesday, and we'd have a ton of sketches we just read, 50 of them," he explained. "And then Lorne would try to put them on the rundown for the show. Very frustrated, he said, 'Um... I still have no f---ing first act.' "

Composer behind 'The Lion King' opening vocals sues comedian for $27M over 'Circle of Life' joke

A South African comedian is being sued for $27 million over a viral joke that mistranslated the iconic "Circle of Life" chant in Disney's "The Lion King."

Lebohang Morake — the Grammy-winning South African composer behind the film's opening Zulu vocals — filed a federal civil complaint in California on March 16 against the comedian, Learnmore Jonasi, alleging that the translation is false and damaging to his life's work.

Jonasi, whose legal name is Learnmore Mwanyenyeka, could not immediately be reached for comment on Friday. No attorney information was listed for him.

In a GoFundMe campaign he launched to cover legal fees, Jonasi called the lawsuit "unjust." By Friday afternoon, the campaign had raised more than $16,000.

Disney did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

Last month, Jonasi appeared on theOne54 Africa podcast,where the host sang the chant and asked him what it meant. "You said nothing," Jonasi replied — then sang the chant himself and offered his own translation: "It means, 'Look, there's a lion. Oh, my god.'"

Morake, known professionally as Lebo M, contends in his lawsuit that the chant — "Nants'ingonyama bagithi Baba" — actually means "All hail the king, we all bow in the presence of the king." He filed the suit in the U.S. District Court for the Central District of California, where he maintains a residence.

The lawsuit describes the chant as "royal praise poetry" written in isiZulu and isiXhosa. Although it is featured in the "Circle of Life," the lawsuit says it "stands independently as an African vocal proclamation grounded in South African tradition."

The lawsuit acknowledges that "ngonyama" can translate to "lion" in Zulu, but contends in the tradition of Praise Imbongi and royal metaphor, "Ngonyama or Ingonyama" signifies kingship.

The suit calls Jonasi's mistranslation "a sick joke" that is destructive to Morake's artistic work. It also says that the podcast appearance wasn't framed as a stand-up set or comedy special.

"Defendant did not frame this as a joke in delivery," the lawsuit says. "Defendant presented it as factual knowledge with misguided authenticity to increase exposure and mockery of Lebo M's creative masterpiece."

The lawsuit goes on to cite social media comments where people said they believed Jonasi's translation, "with some describing it as having 'ruined their childhood.'"

One54 Africa and its hosts declined to comment on the lawsuit.

According to the suit, Morake messaged Jonasi on Instagram and told him that his comment about the chant "crossed a line" and was an insult to African culture. It says the comedian responded and said that it was "unfortunate that you see it this way," and that he has been performing the joke for eight years.

Jonasi acknowledged in aMarch 13 video statementthat he had a conversation with Morake about the chant.

"This was just a joke, and comedy always has a way of starting a conversation. I told him this. This is now your chance to actually educate people because now people are listening. I was even ready to create a video with him, to be honest," he said. "Personally, I had no idea it had a deeper meaning."

The suit notes that Jonasi recently performed the joke in Los Angeles to a standing ovation. In anInstagram videothe comedian posted on Tuesday, he was served with Morake's lawsuit while performing on stage.

Iran's response to US peace proposal expected Friday, source says

WASHINGTON, March 27 (Reuters) - Iran's response to a U.S. peace proposal aimed at ending the war in ‌the Middle East is expected on Friday, according to ‌a source briefed on the matter.

U.S. President Donald Trump and top White ​House officials have been told via interlocutors to expect Iran's counter-proposal then, the source said.

The war, which began when the U.S. and Israel attacked Iran on February 28, has spread across ‌the Middle East.

Iran ⁠had been reviewing a 15-point proposal, sent via Pakistan, that included demands ranging from dismantling Iran's ⁠nuclear program to curbing its missile development and effectively handing over control of the Strait of Hormuz, according to sources and ​reports.

Iran ​has expressed willingness to talk ​about certain things in an ‌exchange of messages, U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio told reporters after a G7 meeting in France on Friday.

"We're waiting for further clarification about who it is that we would be talking to, what we would be talking about, ‌and when will we be talking," ​Rubio said. "It could happen in any ​moment. It could happen ​today. Could happen tomorrow."

An Iranian official told ‌Reuters on Thursday that senior officials ​had reviewed ​the proposal and felt it served only U.S. and Israeli interests. But the official said diplomacy had not ended.

CBS ​News first reported ‌that the Iranian response was expected by Friday.

Colombia holds ceremony for 69 killed in military plane crash

BOGOTA, Colombia (AP) — The 69 members of the security forces who died in amilitary plane crash in Colombiawere honored Friday through their photographs, arranged before the altar of a church during a solemn ceremony held in the capital, Bogota.

APTOPIX Colombia Plane Crash

Gathered before the photos of the deceased, a group of crash survivors offered prayers. Some sat in wheelchairs attended by nurses, while others wore bandages on their arms or walked with difficulty.

The fatal accident occurred on Monday when a Colombian Aerospace Force C-130 Hercules aircraftcrashed shortly after taking offfrom Puerto Leguizamo, a town in the Colombian Amazon. Aboard the plane were 126 members of the security forces, 57 of whom survived.

"We are deeply pained by what has happened, because when a soldier or a police officer falls, a part of our military family is broken," said Gen. Hugo Alejandro López, commander of the Military Forces, during the religious ceremony.

A priest read aloud the names of the deceased one by one during the ceremony, affirming that they had "offered their lives in service to the homeland."

Defense Minister Pedro Sánchez offered his condolences to the families mourning their loved ones, assuring them that they would have the full support of the institution.

"For some, it would be the last flight they would ever take in this world — one that would carry them toward the eternal flight. For others — those who survived — it was, in a sense, being born again," said Sánchez.

The country observed three days of national mourning for one of the worst air disasters recorded in recent memory. Authorities arestill investigating the cause of the accident, but they have ruled out the possibility of an armed attack by illegal groups and are currently analyzing the condition of the aircraft, the runway and the crew.

The accident has reignited a national debate regarding the state of the country's aircraft fleet. Colombian President Gustavo Petro — the country's first leftist head of state —questioned why an aircraft described as "so old"was permitted to operate, noting that it was manufactured in 1983 and donated by the United States in 2020.

Petro has also emphasized the need to modernize the Hercules fleet — military tactical transport aircraft capable of operating from rough, unpaved runways.
