Kevin Nealon, born on November 18, 1953, is an American comedian and actor best known for his nine-year stint as a cast member on the popular television show Saturday Night Live (SNL) from 1986 to 1995. Born in St. Louis, Missouri, Nealon's initial dreams were not associated with comedy or acting. He graduated with a bachelor's degree in Marketing from Sacred Heart University in Fairfield, Connecticut. It wasn't until later that he discovered his knack for bringing humor into people's lives, which eventually led him to pursue a career in entertainment. Before stepping into the spotlight, Nealon honed his skills in stand-up comedy at various clubs in Los Angeles. His wry sense of humor and comedic timing caught the attention of fellow comedian Dana Carvey who recommended Nealon to SNL creator Lorne Michaels. This recommendation proved fruitful, and Nealon joined the SNL cast where he became renowned for his impressions and anchoring the Weekend Update segment. His nine years on SNL made him one of the longest-running cast members in the show's history. After departing from SNL, Nealon didn't fade from the public eye. Instead, he utilized his versatile acting skills and comedic prowess to secure roles in multiple sitcoms and films. He starred alongside Adam Sandler in several hit movies like Happy Gilmore and The Wedding Singer. On the small screen, he gained recognition for his role as Doug Wilson on the critically acclaimed Showtime series, Weeds, solidifying his position as a prominent figure in the world of comedy and acting.
