Kevin Nealon Bio
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 PIPI.
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.

How do I hire Kevin Nealon for a private event, corporate event, nonprofit gala or convention?
To hire Kevin Nealon for a private or corporate performance, the event buyer must first determine whether the artist is available and interested in the proposed engagement and then submit an offer through the appropriate authorized representative. The offer typically includes the event date and location, type of event, proposed performance format and fee.
Celebrity Direct represents event buyers throughout this process, including availability inquiries, offer strategy, negotiation, contracting, rider review and production coordination.
How much does it cost to hire Kevin Nealon for a private or corporate event?
There is no single published fee to hire Kevin Nealon for a private or corporate event. The performance fee is negotiated for the specific engagement and can vary based on the date, location, event type, performance format, travel requirements, current touring activity and other circumstances surrounding the event.
Celebrity Direct can obtain current availability and pricing from the appropriate artist representative for a specific event.
What total budget should I expect when hiring Kevin Nealon?
The total cost of presenting Kevin Nealon can be higher than the negotiated artist performance fee. Depending on the engagement, additional expenses can include airfare or private aviation, hotels, local transportation, sound, lighting, staging, backline, labor, hospitality and other requirements contained in the artist’s rider.
For this reason, event buyers should evaluate the all-in cost of the performance, not simply the artist fee, before making an offer.
How can I find out if Kevin Nealon is available for my event date?
Kevin Nealon’s availability for a private or corporate event must be confirmed through the appropriate authorized representative. Availability can depend on touring and recording commitments, personal scheduling, event location, travel requirements and whether the artist is interested in the particular engagement.
Celebrity Direct can submit the event details, check availability and determine whether an offer is appropriate.
How do I contact Kevin Nealon’s booking agent about a private performance?
A corporate, nonprofit or private-event buyer generally does not need to locate Kevin Nealon’s booking agent personally. An experienced talent buyer can identify the appropriate authorized representative, present the event professionally and manage the inquiry and offer process on the buyer’s behalf.
Celebrity Direct handles this process for its clients and represents the event buyer rather than the artist.
How do I contact Kevin Nealon’s manager about hiring them for an event?
Artist management is not necessarily the appropriate first contact for negotiating a private performance. Celebrity engagements are generally handled through the artist’s authorized booking representation, management or another designated representative depending on the circumstances.
Celebrity Direct determines the appropriate contact for the proposed engagement and handles the communication and negotiation for the event buyer.
Will Kevin Nealon perform at a corporate event, convention, nonprofit gala or private party?
Whether Kevin Nealon will consider a particular private or corporate performance depends on their availability, the nature and location of the event, the proposed performance, the financial offer and artist approval. Celebrity artists are not simply available for every event at a published price.
A legitimate inquiry should therefore include enough information about the event for the artist’s representatives to evaluate the opportunity.
What information do I need before asking about hiring Kevin Nealon?
Before requesting availability or pricing for Kevin Nealon, an event buyer should ideally know the event date, city and venue, type of event, expected attendance, desired performance format and approximate entertainment budget.
Providing these details allows the artist’s representatives to evaluate the engagement and allows an experienced talent buyer to recommend the most effective offer strategy.
Does the quoted artist fee include travel and production?
Usually, the artist’s performance fee should not be assumed to represent the complete cost of the engagement. Travel, hotels, ground transportation, production, equipment, labor and hospitality requirements may be additional obligations of the buyer depending on the negotiated contract and rider.
The contract and rider should be reviewed before the event buyer determines the final entertainment budget.
Can Celebrity Direct handle the complete Kevin Nealon booking and production process?
Celebrity Direct can represent the event buyer throughout a celebrity entertainment engagement, including determining availability, developing the offer, negotiating with the artist’s authorized representative, reviewing contracts and riders, coordinating production requirements and assisting with the performance through event day.
Unlike an artist’s agent or manager, Celebrity Direct works on the buyer’s side of the transaction, helping the event planner understand the financial, contractual and production obligations involved in presenting celebrity talent.
