Kevin
Nealon
clearly set himself apart from other
performers with his unique sense of
humor, profound dry wit and likeable
demeanor. As the longest running cast
member in the history of Saturday Night
Live (nine seasons, 1986-1995), Kevin is
remembered for such well known
characters as The Subliminal Man, Hans
and Franz, as well as his stint as the
Weekend Update anchor. Some of Kevin's
other favorite SNL characters and skits
were: Larry King, Sam Donaldson, Mr. No
Depth Perception and Ganon P.I.,P.I.
In 1988 Kevin Nealon was nominated for
an Emmy Award as part of the SNL writing
team. Kevin's film credits include:
Happy Gilmore, The Wedding Singer,
Little Nicky, John Waters' Cecil B.
Demented and Roxanne. His television
career has encompassed the series
Conspiracy Zone, Hiller and Diller and
Champs. Kevin has made guest appearances
on Heartbreakers, Dharma and Greg, Third
Rock From the Sun, Three Sisters and The
Outer Limits. Kevin has also been
featured in specials on every major
cable network and is a regular guest on
talk shows, including The Tonight Show
with Jay Leno and Late Show with David
Letterman.
Born and raised in Bridgeport,
Connecticut, Kevin Nealon devoted
himself to art and sports and got his
first taste of performing as a teenager
in various garage bands. After
graduating from Sacred Heart University
with a degree in marketing, Kevin spent
his time traveling throughout the United
States and Europe. Eventually, he
settled in Los Angeles to what he refers
to as "a career in part-time jobs."
After several grueling years of slugging
it out on the nightclub circuit, Kevin
Nealon finally made it to the Tonight
Show with Johnny Carson in 1984. Simply
put, his standup killed that night.
After a commercial break, Carson passed
over his final guest to have Kevin come
back out and sit on the panel--a true
benchmark in any comedian's career.
In the summer of 1986, Kevin's friend
Dana Carvey was contacted by Saturday
Night Live and eventually recruited as a
cast member. He recommended Kevin, who
was hired that same year as a writer and
featured performer, making the move to
full time cast member in the 1987-88
season. The rest, as they say, is
history. |
