Adam McKay (born April 17, 1968) is an American screenwriter, director, comedian, and actor. McKay served as head writer for the NBC sketch comedy series ''Saturday Night Live'' for two seasons. He has a comedy partnership with Will Ferrell, with whom he co-wrote the films ''Anchorman'', ''Talladega Nights'', and ''Step Brothers''; all of which he solely directed.

==Early life==
McKay was born in 1968 in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. He graduated from Great Valley High School in Malvern, Pennsylvania, and attended Penn State and Temple University, though he dropped out with one semester to go before earning a B.A.
He is one of the founding members of the Upright Citizens Brigade improv comedy group and a former performer at Chicago's Improv Olympic, where he was a member of the improv group, The Family, whose members included Matt Besser, Ian Roberts, Neil Flynn, Miles Stroth, and Ali Farahnakian, and Child's Play Touring Theatre. While a member of the mainstage cast at Second City, he wrote and performed in that company's landmark revue, ''Pinata Full of Bees''. In several politically charged sketches, McKay played characters like Noam Chomsky as a substitute kindergarten teacher, and a hapless personnel manager trying to inform a corporate vice president (Scott Adsit) of some disastrous IQ test results without losing his own job. The latter performance was excerpted in Second City's 40th anniversary compilation.
