Kevin Nealon's SNL Discipline: Ice-Cold & Enduring

0:00On March 28th, Kevin Neelan just dropped a gem on social media, claiming he never broke character during his nine years on Saturday Night Live. That pose racked up over 1.2 million views where he shouted out the writers' grind on those scripts. He said you can't be the one to derail it, and Lauren Michaels straight up hates when cast cracks up, even if the crowd loves it. Breaking character hits when you laugh or smile and pull everyone else off track. Neelan called the 1990 Chippendale sketch his ultimate test, judging Chris Farley and Patrick Swayze's wild strip tease dance off alongside. Mike Myers and Jan Hooks. If he held it together there, nothing else phased him. He anchored Weekend Update for three of those seasons, but backlash hit hard. Entertainment Weekly dragged him in a piece, questioning if SNL was dead, saying he stumbled on punchlines. NBC boss Don Olmeyer reportedly called him a mush mouth, hard to understand. Neelan confirmed Olmeyer pushed him off update, but he shrugged it off as no big deal.

1:00Juggle too much, writing late-night jokes, Friday and Saturday, plus sketches and characters. Left SNL in 1995 for roles in Weeds and Man with a Plan. Neelan's ice cold discipline and comeback vibe keep proving why pros endure in this game, staying locked in through the chaos. That's the story for today, Entertainment and Celebrity News.
