Kevin Nealon is an actor and a comedian, born on 18th November 1953 in St.Louis, Missouri, USA. He is probably best known for his appearances in numerous “Happy Madison” movies, and his role in the dark comedy-drama series “Weeds” (2005-2012). Nealon was also a cast member on “Saturday Night Live” in the period from 1986 to 1995
Have you ever wondered how rich Kevin Nealon is? According to sources, it is estimated that Kevin Nealon’s net worth is almost $9 million, the biggest share of his wealth being thanks to his career as a talented comedian. Starring in many TV series and films, Nealon has gradually added to his net worth during a career now spanning over 30 years.
Kevin grew up in Connecticut, where he and his family moved soon after his birth. As he was raised Catholic, he attended St. Joseph High School and then enrolled in Sacred Heart University to study marketing. As he had no interest in pursuing a corporate career, Nealon worked all kinds of part-time jobs while schooling himself to be a stand-up comedian. In 1984, Kevin debuted in “The Tonight Show Starring Johnny Carson” on network television. Two years later, he was recommended by his friend Dana Carvey, to join the cast of “Saturday Night Live” as a supporting player. He eventually became a full-time performer in the 1987-1988 season and stayed in the show for nine more seasons. His involvement in this show not only brought Kevin an enormous experience, but also an Emmy Award Nomination as one of the show’s writing staff. The show also boosted his net worth.
At the beginning of the ‘90s, Nealon starred in the film called “All I Want for Christmas” (1991), an American romantic comedy film, which happened to be the first of numerous roles in upcoming films such as “Coneheads” (1993), “Felidae” (1994), “Jeffrey” (1995), “Happy Gilmore” (1996), “Principal Takes a Holiday” (1997), “Kill The Man” (1999) among others. His net worth increased accordingly.
Apart from having starred in numerous films, mostly of the comedy genre, Kevin appeared in many entertainment TV series and sitcoms as well. Among many others, he starred in “The Larry Sanders Show” (1993-1996), TV series “Champs” (1996), “Hiller and Diller” sitcom (1997-1998) and appeared in two episodes of “Dharma and Greg” in 1998 and in one episode of “3rd Rock From The Sun” in 1999. Nealon played himself in the fifth season of the TV series “Curb Your Enthusiasm” in 2005, and the same year he joined the cast of TV series “Weeds”, appearing in all 102 episodes. Overall his filmography stretches to well over 60 productions, and his wealth has increased steadily.
By publishing his first book in 2008, Kevin also revealed his writing talents. The book called “Yes, You’re Pregnant, but What About Me?” is about the actor’s experience in expecting the birth of his son with his second wife, Susan Yeagley.
Privately, Nealon i He was married to Linda Dupree for 13 years(1989-2002). Kevin married actress Susan Yeagley in 2005 and the couple have a son. The comedian is a passionate golfer and poker player, but also has musical talents and plays banjo and guitar. He is an ardent animal rights activist and has been a vegetarian for nearly two decades. Because of a 4-year stay in Germany, Nealon is fluent in German.

1 | (2007, on the fake pot used on Weeds) I gotta tell you, that stuff we use on the show is pretty relaxing. It's a honeyrose herb. They roll it into a reefer and we smoke it. I don't smoke pot or cigarettes, so inhaling smoke as a non-smoker-it doesn't matter what it is, it's going to make you lightheaded. It kind of makes you just crash on the couch, where it's difficult to get up. Some of the other characters have been addicted to honeyrose herb, so this show is perfect for them. |
2 | (2007, on Daddy Day Care) Of course, that was an Eddie Murphy film, so there was a whole different vibe, working on that film, as opposed to working on a Sandler film, which I'd done a few of. First of all, there were tons of kids running around. I'm surprised I ever had a kid after doing that film. When you put that many kids together, it just becomes a madhouse. I enjoyed working with Jeff Garlin on that movie, and Eddie Murphy was very nice and cordial. I didn't see him that much. He just basically showed up on the set and chatted a little bit and did a scene and then he was gone. |
3 | (2007, on addressing drugs with his kids because of his role on Weeds) I have one son who is seven months old, and we've actually been talking about that a lot lately. I've told him time and time again, "Just say no." So he can shake his head "no" now when I wave a doobie-a fake doobie-in front of him. We practice. I say, "Hey dude, you want some of this?" And he shakes his head "no." So I don't think we'll have to deal with that problem. |
4 | (2007, on Little Nicky) Well first of all, that was a great time. Any time you do an Adam Sandler film, it's kind of like a boys' club, because you're hanging out and there are guitars around, and basketballs and footballs and electric bikes and scooters and different people dropping by. I think Little Nicky was a divergence from the films he was used to doing, and he was taking a risk. I admire him for doing that. We had a great cast in there. I remember I had these breasts on my head, because I played "The Gatekeeper," a.k.a. "Tit-Head," and you know, I never knew the power of breasts before. Even with them on my head, the amount of attention they got on the set-everybody wanted to feel them, guys and girls. Breasts weigh a lot, too. They had a condom filled with water in each breast, and they must have weighed about 10 pounds. They jiggled and everything. And then at the end of the day when they removed them, once again I was nobody, and nobody cared about me. |
5 | (2007, on Grandma's Boy) I read the script and I thought it was kind of... Well, I wasn't sure it was the type of film that I wanted to do. There were scenes where they were, you know, masturbating on the grandmother and stuff. [Laughs.] I initially passed on it, and then (Adam) Sandler called me and said, "Nealon, you sure don't want to do this film? I just want to make sure that you really think hard about it, because if it's not a good film, no one's gonna see it, but if it is a good film, I'd hate for you to miss out." I figured he was right, so I did it. I don't think it did that well in the theaters, but since it went to video, I have more and more people coming up to me telling me how much they love Grandma's Boy. |
