   	The Onion AV Club interviews Dana Carvey and Rob Smigel about   
   the process of making _The Dana Carvey Show_ and on discussing the debut   
   sketch, Bill Clinton suckling puppies, Smigel says:   
      
   		RS: Louis C.K. had that notion. We had a simple sketch   
   	where Clinton was just.  I thought Dana did a great Clinton, and   
   	I wanted to get it out there.  Dana had a funny notion about   
   	Clinton trying hard not to laugh at the paltry competition that   
   	he faced in 1996.  And then Louis separately had this funny notion   
   	that led to the breast-feeding, but it came out of a more subtle   
   	observation about Clinton: that he saw himself as this nurturing   
   	president.  And at the time, Hillary was incredibly unpopular, so   
   	Louis had this idea that Clinton would, you know.  It was more of   
   	a play on the ``I feel your pain'' act that Clinton had perfected   
   	by 1996.  We weren't all about, ``Oh, this is gonna be gross,   
   	ha-ha, people are gonna be freaked out''.  I took it too far.  He   
   	had the breast-feeding idea, and then I came up with the multiple   
   	nipples and the puppies and kittens, because of my animal   
   	obsession that haunts me to this day.   
      
      
   	As I recall, this fits exactly along the lines of how Al Bell read   
   the sketch and what it was attempting to say.
