Ex-‘SNL’ Writer-Comedian Kevin Brennan Mocks Matthew Perry’s Death

Kevin Brennan — a former ‘SNL’ author and comic — is making gentle of Matthew Perry‘s passing in an actual ugly method … which can communicate to why he is not extra profitable in showbiz.

Kevin — who had a 2-year stint writing for famed sketch comedy present method again when, and who was as soon as a rising comedian in NYC — took to Twitter this weekend after information of Perry’s dying broke … and posted an extremely insensitive message mocking the late ‘Mates’ actor.

He wrote, “DROWNED IN A HOT TUB. HAHAHAHA” … this whereas linking again to our story.

The tweet wasn’t seen by very many individuals — KB solely has about 5,900 followers or so anyway — but it surely actually left a nasty style within the mouths of oldsters who did see it … with many individuals calling him out within the feedback and bashing him for making a joke out of it.

Whereas Kevin is not practically as related as he was within the ’90s/early 2000s … he nonetheless has a well-known connection to mainstream Hollywood by way of his youthful brother Neal Brennan — from whom he is estranged. Neal, after all, is the co-creator/author of ‘Chappelle’s Present.’

Neal and Kevin had a falling out years in the past — and the youthful sibling went on to forge a stable path for himself. Neal’s written for tons of reveals, and even has his personal Netflix comedy particular now … whereas Kevin hosts a reasonably obscure podcast, and does gigs right here and there.

It bears repeating … Neal is NOT near Kevin — and primarily based on interviews NB has finished of late, the place he was requested about his relationship with Kevin … you possibly can inform it is a delicate matter. Based mostly on this response to Perry alone, you may see their personalities are very completely different.

So, after all, Kevin’s crude remarks listed here are under no circumstances a mirrored image of Neal — who, so far as we are able to inform, minds his enterprise and focuses on his work … and who does not appear to have talked about Perry or ‘Mates,’ for that matter, very a lot in any respect publicly.

Kevin seems to nonetheless fancy himself standup-adjacent — repeatedly commenting on mainstream comedians that Neal undoubtedly rubs shoulders with … though, what he pulled right here is much from a laughing matter. Neal does not appear to have reacted to his brother’s publish.
