Tia Carrere

Wayne Campbell and Garth Algar, the fictional characters from Wayne’s World, became cultural icons in the early 1990s. Originally part of a recurring sketch on Saturday Night Live, they were portrayed by Mike Myers and Dana Carvey as two rock-loving slackers hosting a public-access TV show from Wayne’s basement. Their love for heavy metal, catchphrases like Party on, Wayne! Party on, Garth!, and their goofy charm made them beloved figures in pop culture.

The success of Wayne’s World (1992) and its sequel introduced classic rock to a new generation, with Queen’s Bohemian Rhapsody experiencing a resurgence thanks to the film’s memorable car scene. The characters embodied the carefree spirit of rock fandom, and their legacy continues to endure as a celebration of music, comedy, and the 1990s alternative culture.
