## Resource

You ever notice in podcast interviews, everyone's all comfortable? There's soft chairs, bottled water. The lighting that says you are important. Everybody's relaxed. Everybody's polished, and everything's lying just a tad or even more than a tad about who they are. Then there's Kevin Nealon. Kevin Nealon has done more episodes of Hiking show than Jason and Peter have of Really? no, Really?. But it's always a great time when Kevin stops to tell us stories about hiking with folks like Matthew Modine, Weird Al Yankovich and Rob Lowe. Kevin will also fill us in on his stories about working on Saturday Night Live and remind us what happened with him being replaced by Norm Macdonald on Weekend Update. He also has a great story about running into Sir Paul McCartney at the SNL 50th Anniversary party with Conan O'Brien. While he's here, Kevin will also explain how he went from stand up to writing sketches to becoming an actor. Not just on SNL but also after the show when he would go on to star on Showtime's Weeds. Kevin will also talk about his relationship with the legendary Gary Shandling. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
