While opening up to the audience, Carvey revealed that he asked the prop master to provide him with an ice cream cone to use as a prop during the sketch. However, putting some of it on Rudolph’s face was not part of the plan.
He elaborated, "I asked the prop master to give me an ice cream just to hold for the dress show. And then the air show, she gave me much bigger [one], and I didn't ask her."
The actor further added, "I thought, 'Here's ice cream, big gob. Here's Maya's face.' And I didn't wanna hurt her, but I just — I thought of it, and did it within two seconds. So that's to put to rest all the rumors and all the talk."
