Full Kevin Nealon Biography
Kevin Nealon (born November 18, 1953 in Bridgeport, Connecticut) is an American comedian and actor best known for the characters he played on Saturday Night Live from 1986 to 1995, and his role on the series Weeds.
Nealon graduated from Notre Dame High School in 1971 and then graduated with a bachelor's degree in marketing from Sacred Heart University, and worked in a variety of part-time jobs while doing stand-up comedy. He debuted on network television doing a stand-up routine for The Tonight Show with Johnny Carson in 1984. In 1986, Saturday Night Live recruited his friend Dana Carvey, and Carvey in turn recommended Nealon. Both joined the cast that year, and Nealon became a full-time performer in the 1987-1988 season, and remained for nine seasons.
Nealon's SNL characters include Mr. Subliminal (or Subliminal Message Man), "Franz" (of Hans and Franz) along with Dana Carvey, Mr. No Depth Perception, the anchor of Weekend Update (where his catchphrase was "That's news to me"), and many others. Nealon imbued all these characters with a characteristic deadpan delivery.
In 1991, he starred in the holiday movie, All I Want for Christmas. More recently Nealon has appeared in the movies Happy Gilmore, Anger Management, Little Nicky, Daddy Day Care, Good Boy! and Grandma's Boy.
In Fall 2005 he appeared in an episode of Curb Your Enthusiasm, where he played himself (Season 5, Episode 4).

It was also revealed in a separate court case on February 27, 2006, that investigators working for the Ringling Brothers and Barnum & Bailey Circus may also have targeted Nealon for wiretapping .
Nealon is married to actress Susan Yeagley. Yeagley gave birth to their first child, son Gable Ness Nealon, on Monday, January 29, 2007 in Santa Monica, California.
Nealon and his ex-wife Linda Dupree (who played one of the mud wrestlers fighting John Candy in Stripes), had been active in the animal rights movement, supporting fund-raising events for the Amanda Foundation, the Washington Wildlife Protection Association, The Ark Trust's Genesis Awards and also Meat Out. |
