Kevin Nealon is among the few people to sit in the "Weekend Update" news anchor chair on Saturday Night Live. During his nine-year tenure on the show, Kevin played in memorable pieces including "Hans and Franz" and his "Update" character Mr. Subliminal. After Saturday Night Live, Kevin joined the cast of the long-running Showtime series Weeds. Aside from being an actor, Kevin is an accomplished comedian, and continues to tour the U.S. and Canada. This Comedian's Life talked to Kevin about stage fright, Saturday Night Live, and the best TV appearance he ever had.
