Kevin Nealon Talks Al Franken, Chris Farley and Getting ‘Forced Out’ of SNL
When most comedy fans think of Kevin Nealon, they probably picture him seated behind the “Weekend Update” desk on Saturday Night Live, often using his signature subliminal messaging bit to skewer whoever happened to be making headlines that week in the early-’90s. “I’m Kevin Nealon and that’s news to me,” he would deadpan as his weekly sign-off.
Twenty-five years later, the Connecticut-raised stand-up comedian has crafted a very different image for himself in Hiking with Kevin, his weekly web series in which he goes on long hikes around Los Angeles with his famous friends.
His slim suits have been replaced with T-shirts, mirrored sunglasses and a bucket hat. An alternative title could be “Comedians on Hikes Getting Winded.”
Three seasons into the show, which returned this month on YouTube, Nealon says he’s exhausted his long list of comedian friends and has now had to start reaching out to publicists to book celebrity guests. Sometimes, publicists will even reach out to him.
This past week’s premiere had an unusually revealing conversation with Alec Baldwin, and upcoming episodes will feature hikes with Lisa Kudrow, Tiffany Haddish, and Christian Slater among other Hollywood stars.
Occasionally a guest will agree to go on the hike only if the trail is flat.
“I call those my flatliners,” Nealon jokes. For instance, he said his former SNL castmate David Spade would only go if the hike was “perfectly flat” and ended up complaining—comically—whenever there was a slight incline.
Before he started making the show, Nealon would mostly go on hikes alone. When he would pass people hiking together on the trail, he would notice that they were “always in these deep conversations.”
He thought to himself, “There’s something about hiking where you’re not having eye contact and you’re outdoors and I don’t know if it’s the endorphins or what but you’re much more revealing.”
He originally filmed the episodes with a selfie stick and his iPhone and has since upgraded to a more advanced GoPro with an external mic. When his guests arrive at the trailhead, they’ll often ask, “Where’s the crew?” He has to explain that it’s just the two of them alone in nature.

Kevin Nealon Weeds
Six years after suburban housewife-turned-widow-turned-pot dealer Nancy Botwin (Mary-Louise Parker) first surfaced on Showtime on the series Weeds, the Botwin family is finally breaking out of pay cable and moving to TV Guide Network. And star Kevin Nealon couldn’t be happier.
“It’s fantastic that more people will be able to see it because I know a lot of people have not seen it,” star Kevin Nealon tells TVGuide.com. “It’s going to be so much more accessible.”
“Weeds Awareness Week” welcomes Weeds to TV Guide NetworkSince debuting in 2004, Weeds
has garnered a Golden Globe award and an Emmy and has already been renewed by Showtime for next year. But Nealon almost wasn’t involved with the project, he says. ”
When I first heard about the script, I thought, ‘Oh I don’t know if I want to be involved in a stoner kind of a show.’ I had done that before,” he says. “But then I read the script and it had great writing and great characters.”

Beyond the show’s title and many references to marijuana, Nealon says the series is about family and survival. “The fans can relate to a lot of these characters,” he says.
“They know people like this and I think people wonder, ‘How would I survive if I lost my husband? What would I do or what wouldn’t I do?’ That draws people into watching it.”Luckily for Nancy, she has many friends to turn to in her time of desperation. And one of her best assets is Nealon’s Doug Wilson, a city councilman, accountant and, well, giant stoner.

“Doug Wilson is readily available for Nancy to help out. He becomes like a pawn for her,” he says. “The biggest surprise about Doug is how dense he is. He never learns. He tries to get what he wants and always chooses what’s best for him.”After six seasons, Nealon is still surprised about the fan recognition the series receives.
It’s even surpassed the attention he gets for his nine-year stint on Saturday Night Live, he says.”I always wondered if there would be a show that I would do that would take the place of Saturday Night Live and it’s become Weeds,” he says.
“It’s just been a really fun ride from the get-go and just so exciting that it’s been picked up every year and more and more people are watching it. … It’s a great escape.”TV Guide Network is launching Weeds Awareness Week to launch the series starting Sunday, Oct. 17. A six-day marathon of episodes will run Sunday through Friday from 9 p.m.-2 a.m.
