"Wayne's World" is a comedy franchise originally created by Mike Myers and developed with Dana Carvey. The sketches and films focus on Wayne Campbell (Myers) and Garth Algar (Carvey), co-hosts of a local public-access television program in Aurora, Illinois called Wayne's World. The character of Wayne first appeared as an off-camera character on MuchMusic before evolving, in 1987, into an on-camera character in a segment titled "Wayne's Power Minute" on the CBC Television series It's Only Rock & Roll. The segment further evolved into a recurring sketch on Saturday Night Live primarily from 1989 to 1994 (with additional segments in 2011 and 2015). During their time on Saturday Night Live, Wayne's World spawned two films, Wayne's World (1992) and Wayne's World 2 (1993).

From Wayne's basement, the pair broadcast a talk-show called "Wayne's World" on local public access television. The show comes to the attention of a sleazy network executive who wants to produce a big-budget version of "Wayne's World"—and he also wants Wayne's girlfriend, a rock singer named Cassandra. Wayne and Garth have to battle the executive not only to save their show, but also Cassandra.
