Credibility Gap
- Writer
Lew Irwin founded the Credibility Gap in 1968 with fellow journalists John Gilliland, Thom Beck, Richard Beebe, and folk singer Len Chandler. They satirized the news daily on KRLA-AM radio in Los Angeles County, California. Eventually the classic lineup was Richard Beebe, David L. Lander, Michael McKean, and Harry Shearer and they performed on KPPC-FM radio until 1971, and recorded until 1979. Lander and McKean went on to be regulars in Laverne & Shirley (1976), and McKean and Shearer starred in This Is Spinal Tap (1984).
