Emmy-nominated Actor and Comedian
Friday, June 25
Kevin Nealon—best known for his nine-year stint as a cast member of NBC’s Saturday Night Live—has set himself apart from other comedic performers with his unique sense of humor, dry wit, and likeable demeanor. As one of the longest-running cast members on the show (1986-1995), Kevin has created some of the most memorable characters, such as “The Subliminal Man” and “Hans and Franz.” His reoccurring role as an anchor on “Weekend Update” made the sketch a show staple.
He is a familiar figure on other television programs including guest appearances on Monk, Fat Actress, Curb Your Enthusiasm, and Still Standing. More recently, Kevin has received critical acclaim for his role in the Golden Globe-nominated Showtime series Weeds. His first one-hour stand-up special called, Kevin Nealon: Now Hear Me Out! aired on Showtime to rave reviews. And last year he hosted TBS’ Funniest Commercials of the Year for the fourth time. The special highlighted the most outrageous commercials from around the world and is a continued success for the network.
His talents also extend to writing comedy. In 1988, Kevin was nominated for an Emmy Award as part of the SNL writing team. And his book, entitled, Yes, You’re Pregnant But What About Me?, a comical look at the male perspective of pregnancy, was released in May of 2008.
Kevin was last seen on the big screen in Aliens in the Attic opposite Tim Meadows and Ashley Tisdale. His other film credits include Remarkable Power with Tom Arnold, Anger Management opposite Jack Nicholson and Adam Sandler, Joe Dirt with David Spade, Daddy Day Care with Eddie Murphy, Good Boy with Molly Shannon, Roxanne with Steve Martin, and the cult hit, Grandma’s Boy with Jonah and Nick Swardson. He has also starred with Adam Sandler in You Don’t Mess with the Zohan, Eight Crazy Nights, The Wedding Singer, and Happy Gilmore.
