Very funny guy, Kevin Nealon, is set to appear in Lake Placid on May 4, 2024. An Emmy and SAG-nominated actor, comedian, and author, Nealon is best known for his nine-year stint as a cast member of NBC's Saturday Night Live and has received critical acclaim for his role in the Showtime series “Weeds.” Kevin recently starred for four seasons on the CBS-TV comedy series “Man With A Plan.” He produces and hosts the digital series “Hiking with Kevin,” and tours his stand-up globally.
Nealon's self-produced, edited, and hosted web series “Hiking with Kevin” is exclusively available on his YouTube channel of the same name. In the series, Kevin interviews his A-list celebrity friends on hikes throughout the country. Kevin's extensive television credits include Globen Globe and SAG-nominated “Weeds,” the titular voice role of “Glenn Martin, DDS,” two critically acclaimed stand-up specials for Showtime, and several appearances on “Monk,” “Curb Your Enthusiasm,” “Still Standing” and more.

As one of the longest-running cast members on NBC's Saturday Night Live (1986-1995), Nealon created some of the show's most memorable characters, including Hans and Franz, and his three seasons as an anchor on 'Weekend Update.'
As an anchor, Nealon welcomed characters such as Adam Sandler's Cajun Man and Chris Farley's Bennett Brauer. He was best known for his segments as Mr. Subliminal. In 1988, he earned an Emmy nomination as part of the SNL writing team.
Nealon released his latest book, I Exaggerate My Brushes with Fame (Abrams), in 2022. Part art book, part memoir is full of original full-color caricatures Kevin has created and funny, endearing personal essays about his famous friends.
In 2008, Nealon released his first book, Yes, You’re Pregnant, But What About Me? – a comical look at the male perspective of pregnancy.
