David Michael Koechner ( /ˈkɛknər/; born August 24, 1962) is an American character actor, comedian, writer, and musician. Koechner first became involved in performing when he began studying improvisational comedy in Chicago at the ImprovOlympic, under the teachings of Del Close, before joining the Second City Northwest. After one-year stints of doing sketch comedy on Saturday Night Live and Late Night with Conan O'Brien, he began taking small parts in films such as Man on the Moon and Wag the Dog. While filming the country mockumentary Dill Scallion, Koechner befriended Dave 'Gruber' Allen, forming The Naked Trucker & T-Bones Show. The act became a hit at Hollywood clubs such as Largo, and the duo were invited to open for Tenacious D.
Koechner appeared frequently with larger supporting roles in many high profile comedic films including Anchorman, Talladega Nights, The Goods: Live Hard, Sell Hard, and Extract. On January 17, 2007, Koechner's Naked Trucker & T-Bones Show premiered on Comedy Central, giving him a starring role and full creative control. His first leading role, as Coach Lambeau Fields in Fox Atomic's sports comedy, The Comebacks opened on October 19, 2007.
This is the beginning of the end
I'm stepping out of line and starting over again
Days spent making things worse are no more
I'm dropping out of this fucked up world
Can't you see the difference between me and you?
I've got everything to gain, and nothing to lose
I've given up on this world, but not on myself
Will I live like you? No way in hell
I'm casting myself aside from this society
I am dropping our, and not taking part in this atrocity
Now is the time to set your past ablaze and leave it behind
I've got one shot, and wasting time is not what I have in mind
I don't want to be included or accepted
I'll survive on my own, alone and rejected
Maybe things will never change
