Kevin Nealon (born November 18, 1953) is an American comedian and actor best known as a cast member on Saturday Night Live from 1986 to 1995, and his role as Doug Wilson on the series Weeds.
Nealon was born in St. Louis, Missouri, the son of Kathleen, and Emmett Nealon, an aircraft company executive. A few months after he was born, the family moved to Bridgeport, Connecticut. He graduated from St. Joseph High School in 1971 and then graduated with a bachelor's degree in marketing from Sacred Heart University (where he played fullback on the soccer team), and worked in a variety of part-time jobs while doing stand-up comedy.
Nealon 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.
