From Weekend Update to Weeds An Interview With Kevin Nealon

AS AFFABLE ACCOUNTANT-TURNED-POTHEAD- HEDONIST DOUG WILSON ® on the SHOWTIME hit show Weeds, comedian and Saturday Night Live alumnus Kevin Nealon plays a morally challenged, brain-addled loser with all the common sense of rolling papers. Fertile ground for comedy? You bet. Now in its sixth season, Weeds traces the downward spiral of one Nancy Botwin (Mary-Louise Parker), a suburban widow who sells dope to improve her precarious cash- ow situation. But what starts out as a lark rapidly descends into something considerably darker and edgier as Nancy gradually goes all gangsta and entwines her two sons – and friends and associates – in a dangerous dance with the proverbial devil. Aside from its provocative premise, Weeds also rocks thanks to a joint e ort between a talented cast and hip, whip-smart writing. Snappy repartee and boundary pushing never had it so good. Parker’s Nancy is a beguiling mixture of vulnerability and pluck whose criminal sojourn slowly reveals previ- ously untapped reservoirs of steely yet reckless nerve. She’s supported by standouts like Nealon, Hunter Parrish ACCESS: and Alexander Gould (who play Nancy’s con icted and  en where does the inspiration for Doug entrepreneurial sons, Silas and Shane, respectively), and come from?
