This Valentine’s Day marks the 30th anniversary of the release of “Wayne’s World,” one of the defining comedies of the 1990s and the film that launched Mike Myers’ film career.

“Wayne’s World” spun off from a series of sketches on “Saturday Night Live,” the first of which debuted in February of 1989. Myers had been developing the character of Wayne for several years. Early versions had appearances on CITY-TV in Toronto’s “City Limits” and the CBC Television series “It’s Only Rock & Roll.”
