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

Kevin Brennan — a former ‘SNL’ writer and comedian — is making light of Matthew Perry‘s passing in a real ugly way … which may speak to why he isn’t more successful in showbiz.

Kevin — who had a 2-year stint writing for famed sketch comedy show way back when, and who was once a rising comic in NYC — took to Twitter this weekend after news of Perry’s death broke … and posted an incredibly insensitive message mocking the late ‘Friends’ actor.

DROWNED IN A HOT TUB. HAHAHAHA

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

The tweet wasn’t viewed by very many people — KB only has about 5,900 followers or so anyway — but it certainly left a bad taste in the mouths of folks who did see it … with many people calling him out in the comments and bashing him for making a joke out of it.

While Kevin isn’t nearly as relevant as he was in the ’90s/early 2000s … he still has a famous connection to mainstream Hollywood through his younger brother Neal Brennan — from whom he’s estranged. Neal, of course, is the co-creator/writer of ‘Chappelle’s Show.’

Neal and Kevin had a falling out years ago — and the younger sibling went on to forge a solid path for himself. Neal’s written for tons of shows, and even has his own Netflix comedy special now … whereas Kevin hosts a pretty obscure podcast, and does gigs here and there.

It bears repeating … Neal is NOT close to Kevin — and based on interviews NB has done of late, where he was asked about his relationship with Kevin … you can tell it’s a sensitive topic. Based on this reaction to Perry alone, you’ll see their personalities are very different.

So, of course, Kevin’s crude remarks here are in no way a reflection of Neal — who, as far as we can tell, minds his business and focuses on his work … and who doesn’t seem to have talked about Perry or ‘Friends,’ for that matter, very much at all publicly.

Kevin appears to still fancy himself standup-adjacent — regularly commenting on mainstream comedians that Neal undoubtedly rubs shoulders with … although, what he pulled here is far from a laughing matter. Neal doesn’t seem to have reacted to his brother’s post.

We’ve reached out to him for comment, nonetheless … so far, no word back.
