As one of the longest running cast members on “SNL” (1986-1995), Nealon created some of the show’s most memorable characters, including “The Subliminal Man” and “Hans and Franz.  He was also well-known for his recurring role as an anchor on “Weekend Update.” In 1988, he earned an Emmy Award® nomination as part of the “SNL” writing team.
 
“Weeds,” currently in its eighth season, has been honored with multiple award nominations including Golden Globes® nominations for “Best Television Series Comedy or Musical” and nominations from the Screen Actors Guild for an “Outstanding Performance by an Ensemble in a Comedy Series.” On the show, Nealon portrays a stoned accountant and business advisor.
 
A sought-after guest star on television, Nealon has made a number of appearances on “Monk,” “Fat Actress,” “Curb Your Enthusiasm” and “Still Standing.” In late 2009, Nealon’s one hour stand-up special, “Kevin Nealon: Now Hear Me Out!” aired on Showtime.
 
On the big screen, Nealon has found great comedic success.
