About this episode

Kevin Nealon discusses his career in comedy, including his time on Saturday Night Live and his latest projects.

If you still associate Kevin Nealon with Saturday Night Live, it's no wonder: he was a vital cast member for nine years. But he's also an author, video producer, banjoist, savvy second banana (on such series as Weeds and Man With a Plan ), dedicated standup comic, and member of Adam Sandler's comedic stock company. And if you haven't seen his spectacular caricatures, you're missing out: his book is called I Exaggerate: My Brushes with Fame . He talks about the adventure of playing supporting roles in indie films of all kinds. His latest, Mermaid, drops on digital platforms May 26.
