Kevin Nealon
|
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.
After several grueling years of slugging it out on the nightclub circuit, Kevin 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.
