| Quote | |
|---|---|
| 1 | “Yes, I am complimented on my work in The Kids in the Hall (1988) once or twice a week. It’s a nice feeling” -talking about being confused as a member of “Kids in the Hall”, to which he is not at all related. |
| 2 | My muse is a tiny, fairy-like creature from Gnardgnanesh: a country that only exists if you wish it to. He’s about 4 inches tall, greenish, and resembles a little twig. |
| 3 | Kerri and I met at theater camp when were 16 years old, which is pretty lame. The rest of us met when we founded the State at New York University in 1988. Most of our adult lives have been spent bickering with these people. |
| 4 | I feel like I’m the most well-adjusted character on the show (Reno 911! (2003)), even though I’m sure the other actors would tell you the same thing about their characters. But I think mine is. I feel like I’ve dealt with my demons, and it’s all out there. |
| Fact | |
|---|---|
| 1 | His paternal grandparents, Michael Lennon (from Roscommon) and Mary T. Crowe (from County Mayo), were Irish. His mother has Irish, English, and German ancestry, with some Colonial American roots going back to the 1600s. |
| 2 | Writing partner of Robert Ben Garant and Kerri Kenney. |
| 3 | Has said that Brazil (1985) is his favorite film of all time. |
| 4 | Originally met Kerri Kenney, fellow member of The State (1993) and Reno 911! (2003), at age 16 in theater camp. |
| 5 | He loves Bob Dylan. In the episode of The State (1993) in which we meet the father of Doug (the recurrent character who says “I’m outta heeeere”), it turns out that discontented Doug’s dad is totally cool. When Doug mistakenly says that Bob Dylan died of drugs, Lennon’s character replies that Dylan is alive and well, “I produced his last five albums.” Lennon-as-Dad quietly offers to “sell my Hog and quit the Hell’s Angels” if that would make Doug happy. Later, he distributes beers to the teenagers. |
| 6 | Lives with his wife Jenny Robertson in Los Angeles [2002]. |
| 7 | He is a fan of Jackie Chan. He co-wrote The Pacifier (2005) with Chan in mind, but it had to be re-worked when it became a Vin Diesel vehicle instead. |
| 8 | Attended Oak Park River Forest High School, Oak Park, Illinois, and was a classmate of Michael Gerber, author of the “Barry Trotter” series. |
