McKean is of Irish, English, Scottish, and some German and Dutch, descent. He graduated from high school in 1965. Career McKean began his career ( as well as the characters of Lenny and Squiggy ) in Pittsburgh while a student at Carnegie Mellon ; David Lander was a fellow student at CMU. Their partnership grew after graduation as part of the comedy group The Credibility Gap with Harry Shearer in Los Angeles, but McKean 's breakthrough came in 1976 when he and Lander joined the cast of Laverne & Shirley portraying Lenny and Squiggy. McKean directed one episode, and the characters became something of a phenomenon, even releasing an album as Lenny and the Squigtones in 1979, which featured a young Christopher Guest on guitar ( credited as Nigel Tufnel -- the name Guest would use a few years later as part of the spoof rock band, Spinal Tap ). `` Foreign Legion of Love '' was a big hit for the Squigtones, with frequent play on the Dr. Demento Show. McKean also played his character in an episode of Happy Days. After leaving Laverne & Shirley in 1982, McKean played David St. Hubbins in the comedy This is Spinal Tap with both Guest and Shearer, and appeared in the soap opera spoof Young Doctors in Love. McKean quickly became a recognizable name in film and television, with appearances in films such as Used Cars ( 1980 ), Clue ( 1985 ), Planes, Trains and Automobiles ( 1987 ), Earth Girls Are Easy ( 1988 ), and taking a lead role in Short Circuit 2 ( 1988 ). 1990s In 1990, McKean landed a memorable role opposite Kiefer Sutherland and Dennis Hopper in the American adventure comedy movie, Flashback. That same year, McKean was part of an ensemble cast in the television series Grand on NBC which, however, only aired for a short time. In 1991 McKean co-wrote ( with Christopher Guest ) the second episode and later directed the final episode of the mock documentary series Morton & Hayes, created by Phil Mishkin and Rob Reiner. Having already appeared as a musical guest and then host of Saturday Night Live, McKean joined the cast from 1994 to 1995. At the age of 46, he was the oldest person ever to join the SNL cast at the time ( later surpassed by Leslie Jones, who joined in 2014 at age 47 ), one of a handful of SNL cast members to appear on the show before becoming a cast member ( joining the likes of Billy Crystal, Denny Dillon, Ann Risley, and Rob Riggle ), and the only one to be a musical guest and a host before becoming a cast member. During this time, he also released a video follow up to Spinal Tap, played the villainous Mr. Dittmeyer in The Brady Bunch Movie, and played the boss Gibby in the HBO series Dream On. After leaving Saturday Night Live, McKean spent a lot of time doing children 's fare, voicing various TV shows and movies. McKean then appeared in a number of movie roles, including the film adaptation of Memoirs of an Invisible Man ( 1992 ), Coneheads ( 1993 ), Airheads ( 1994 ), and Radioland Murders ( 1994 ).
