Description

30 years ago, Kevin Nealon was anchoring “Weekend Update” on ‘Saturday Night Live.’ Now he's walking the woods with his famous comedian friends on the YouTube series Hiking with Kevin. In this episode, Nealon talks about how that show got started and looks back at his ‘SNL’ days, including how he got hired, when he knew it was time to leave and shares some hilarious stories about Lorne Michaels, Dana Carvey, Chris Farley, Al Franken, and more. And ahead of the big ‘SNL50’ special this coming weekend, Nealon reflects on sharing the stage with fellow “Update” anchors Norm Macdonald, Colin Quinn, and Seth Meyers at the show’s 40th anniversary event in 2015.
