Kevin Nealon (SNL, Weeds, Hiking with Kevin) joins us this week for a quietly honest conversation that goes a lot deeper than you would expect. Kevin tells the story of an active shooter scare at his Bridgeport stand up show that ended with him hiding behind a dumpster, the audiences who keep dropping mid set as his fans get older, and why the Tonight Show with Johnny Carson, not SNL, was the real dream he was chasing the whole time. We also get into Garry Shandling as his mentor and dearn late friend, the Sandler private jet tour where he only did ten minutes a night, and the surprises that came with walking into Carrie Fisher's house. Thank you to our sponsors:

Hour - 3 (5.25.26) Tim Conway Jr. and the crew close out the show with a hilarious and surprisingly important hour about trade jobs, LA bars, Tonight Show legends, and yes… poop talk.Mike Rowe breaks down why skilled trades are more important than ever, warning that for every five tradespeople retiring, only two are entering the workforce. With millions of AI-proof, six-figure jobs open across America, he makes the case for the Toolbelt Generation and why vocational training may beat crushing college debt.Then the crew shifts gears Conway-style, talking about some of the best bars in Los Angeles, the many famous faces who’ve been on The Tonight Show, and the very real, very ridiculous conversation about the different ways people poop.It’s a wild mix of Mike Rowe, skilled trades, LA nightlife, comedy nostalgia, blue-collar jobs, and classic Conway crew chaos.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Happy Memorial Day! First off, we apologize for the sound quality on this episode — it sounds like our Podtrak may finally be on its last legs, so bear with us while we work through some technical issues. The boys are pregaming after taking on the Soldier Field 10-Mile race… well, at least two of the four hosts did. One host may have accidentally slept through it. With a Cubs game on deck and an absolutely beautiful Chicago day ahead, the crew recaps last week's fun and Peter's first full weekend back after Greece. From there, the guys jump into last week's news to kick off the new week, discussing Trump's alleged slush fund, growing concerns surrounding Ebola, the final episode of The Tonight Show, Shakira's ongoing tax saga, and an expensive heat wave hitting parts of the country. As always, the episode wraps up on a positive note with some feel good stories. Grab a drink and get ready — it's another classic episode of the Saturday Night Pregame!

On the 34tn anniversary of the final Tonight Show with Johnny Carson, and the morning after the final Colbert broadcast, Mark and Mike discuss the history of late-night shows.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Laughing in the Dark: Suicide Prevention, Comedy, and Hope with Frank King In this episode, Kevin sits down with Frank King, a suicide prevention speaker, comedian, and former writer for The Tonight Show. Frank spent 20 years writing for late night television and has been a full time speaker and comedian for more than 40 years. Frank's work is deeply personal. His speaking is shaped by his lifelong experience with Major Depressive Disorder and Chronic Suicidal Ideation, including moments where he came close enough to ending his life that he can speak honestly and powerfully about what that darkness feels like. Instead of hiding that story, Frank has turned his long, dark journey of the soul into lifesaving work. He has delivered 13 TEDx Talks and shares his insights with corporations, associations, and audiences across the country to help people understand suicide prevention, mental health, and the power of honest conversation. Over the course of his career, Frank has shared the stage with legendary comedians and entertainers including Jeff Foxworthy, Adam Sandler, Jerry Seinfeld, Dr. Ken Jeong, Ellen DeGeneres, Dennis Miller, Lou Rawls, The Beach Boys, and Randy Travis. And somehow, on top of all that, Frank has survived two aortic valve replacements, a double bypass, a heart attack, and losing to a puppet on the original Star Search. And yes, he's lived to joke about it all. This conversation is honest, meaningful, surprisingly funny, and deeply human. Frank brings a rare mix of comedy, courage, and lived experience to one of the most important conversations we can have. In This Episode Kevin and Frank talk about: • Suicide prevention and mental health • Living with Major Depressive Disorder • Chronic Suicidal Ideation • Why humor can help open hard conversations • Turning pain into purpose • Frank's journey as a comedian, speaker, and TEDx presenter • What people often misunderstand about suicidal thoughts • How honest conversations can save lives About Frank King Frank King is a suicide prevention speaker, comedian, and former writer for The Tonight Show. He has been a full time speaker and comedian for 40 years and has delivered 13 TEDx Talks. His work is informed by his lived experience with Major Depressive Disorder and Chronic Suicidal Ideation, and he now uses comedy and storytelling to help organizations have lifesaving conversations around mental health and suicide prevention.

Writer, Michael Elias, talks about growing up in the Catskills, where you had to make your money in the summer to survive the winter, and how that created a lot of tension. He also talks about taking acting classes, dealing with being an actor, and how acting helped him build scenes and characters. He talks about working for Glen Campbell without realizing how talented he was. He discusses his book Benders, L.A. and talks about going to Plato's Retreat and not scoring. He talks about Steve Martin and how The Frisco Kid was not what he originally thought it would be. It was originally supposed to be directed by Mike Nichols and star John Wayne. Carl Reiner may have made The Jerk better. Garry Marshall made Young Doctors in Love better, but some movies simply don't turn out the way you want them to. Michael wants people to know that Jews were all over the West and that minorities helped build this country. He says there was always a hangout somewhere. Mel Brooks was an egalitarian. Michael talks about having many writing partners, including Arnie Kogen, Rich Eustis, and Frank Shaw. He talks about getting kicked off The Ed Sullivan Show, writing for The Tonight Show, and learning from Neil Simon and Ed Weinberger.  He wishes he could tell his mother what's going on in his life now and imagines writing letters to her today. He also talks about giving yourself permission to stop reading books halfway through. He remembers me playing with the microphone at my bar mitzvah. He talks about paying rent at forty-two dollars a month while working as a substitute teacher. His father, a doctor, never really understood what he did until he saw the pilot of Head of the Class. Howard Hesseman had demands even though he was about to be fired. Bio: Michael Elias grew up in the Catskill Mountains, a Red Diaper Borscht Belt Baby in a world of artists, intellectuals, tumlers, folk singers, boxers, and Jewish gangsters, some of whom sleep at the bottom of Loch Sheldrake. His childhood heroes were Jerry Lewis, Harry Belafonte, Rocky Marciano, and Abe ‘Kid Twist' Reles. Educated in the classics at St. John's College, Elias took his knowledge of ancient Greek and philosophy to New York, trained at the Actors Studio, acted in The Living Theatre, La MaMa and the Judson Poets Theatre. From there Elias and Frank Shaw dove into the world of stand-up comedy, playing coffee shops, night clubs, with five stints on The Tonight Show. Fired from Ed Sullivan they abandoned the act and came to Hollywood where he and Shaw wrote sit-coms, variety shows, and The Frisco Kid. After parting ways, Elias participated in the anti-Vietnam War movement, earned a subpoena from a Nixon grand jury, and teamed up with Rich Eustis and created Head of the Class. Elias continues to write novels and screenplays in Los Angeles, where he lives with his wife Bianca Roberts and their dachshund Mabel. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

What if the problem isn't your creativity…it's that no one taught you how to turn it into a business?In this episode of the Walk In Victory Podcast, NaRon Tillman sits down with Paul Pape to break down one of the biggest gaps in the creative economy: Artists know how to create—but not how to monetize. From theater design to working with brands like Disney, Nickelodeon, and The Tonight Show, Paul shares how he transitioned from building sets and custom collectibles to helping creatives understand the business side of their work. Known as “Santa for Nerds,” Paul built a career around bringing ideas to life—but realized the real challenge wasn't making things… It was helping others understand how to position, price, and sustain what they create. Together, they unpack:• Why most creatives struggle financially despite their talent• The difference between branding and marketing—and why it matters• How to avoid costly mistakes early in business• Why learning on the fly often leads to losing money• How gamifying your business can simplify complex strategies• Why clarity in your role and structure is critical for growth• The importance of creativity in solving business problems• How to move from “starving artist” to sustainable creatorThis is not just a conversation about creativity.It's about ownership.Because creativity without structure…will always struggle to scale.

Bio:  Al Madrigal broke out of San Francisco's vibrant comedy scene with a sharp wit and an even sharper sense of timing — talents that would take him from stand-up stages to television screens and writers' rooms. Al Madrigal cut his teeth in San Francisco's stand-up scene, drawing on his Mexican and Italian roots to shape a comedic voice that's sharp, self-aware, and distinctly his own. Madrigal's star began to rise when he won a Jury Award for Best Stand-Up Comedian at the U.S. Comedy Arts Festival, leading to multiple appearances on The Tonight Show, Jimmy Kimmel Live, and Conan O'Brien.

Comedian Dusty Slay pulls up a chair in the basement to talk Bigfoot, shadow people, and what it looks like to follow Jesus when you used to pray drunk. From his days selling pesticides and working at Office Depot to headlining theaters and doing the Tonight Show, Dusty opens up about how quitting drinking, leaning into faith, and questioning everything changed the trajectory of his life and his comedy. The guys get into ghost stories, haunted rental houses, the plagues of Egypt as divine trolling, and why Jesus quoting Psalm 22 on the cross might be the greatest callback in history. Dusty also talks about the craft of standup, why comedians became the truth tellers of our generation, why AI can't write jokes, and what it means to be funny in a world that forgot how to laugh.
