Partnership with David 'Gruber' Allen

On the set of the 1999 country music mockumentary, Dill Scallion, Koechner struck a partnership with SNL friend David 'Gruber' Allen, joining Allen's improvisational comedy act, The Naked Trucker Show.[3] The two bonded while filming on a tour bus, sharing similar political views and midwestern upbringings.[4] Koechner joined the act as Gerald "T-Bones" Tibbons, a character he had been playing on comedy stages for a few years, including a recurring character bit on SNL. Gerald Tibbons dates back to 1995, when he filmed a short television pilot based on the character's misadventures.[5] The "Gerald" character, based on a real drifter named Four-Way George, became so popular that Koechner would go to auditions, only to find that directors were always demanding his stage persona.[6][4] The stage act, a mix of stand-up comedy and off-color country songs, became a hit on the Hollywood improv circuit, ultimately landing television performances on Late Night with Conan O'Brien and Real Time with Bill Maher. The Naked Trucker and T-Bones Show would eventually tour with fellow comedic musical duo, Tenacious D. Their popularity also lead to several offers to bring their act to television, though many early deals never came to fruition.[7] {{Infobox Film | name = Dill Scallion | image = Dill Scallion. ...

Film and television success

In 2004, David Koechner landed his largest film role yet, as sports reporter Champ Kind in SNL-veteran Will Ferrell's Anchorman: The Legend of Ron Burgundy. As part of the Anchorman ensemble, Koechner shared two MTV Movie Award nominations for Best On-Screen Team and Best Musical Performance. MTV's initial press release accidentally listed Fred Armisen instead of David Koechner, but eventually corrected the error on their website, crediting Koechner during the broadcast.[8][9] Following this role, Koechner found himself landing small roles in high profile films such as The 40 Year-Old Virgin, Talladega Nights, The Dukes of Hazzard and Snakes on a Plane. In 2006, Koechner had a supporting role as gun-lobbyist in the critically-acclaimed satire, Thank You for Smoking, sharing several scenes with Aaron Eckhart and Maria Bello. The three actors portrayed lobbyists for the tobacco, alcohol, & gun industries, dubbed The M.O.D. (Merchants of Death) Squad. Thank You for Smoking was one of the best-reviewed films of Koechner's career, and he was included in Fox Searchlight's Oscar campaign, among the film's listings for Best Supporting Actor.[10] Image File history File links Anchormenweapons. ...

Packer is an obnoxious, alcoholic best friend of Carell's character. As of February 1, 2007, Koechner has guest-starred, both in person and by phone, on five episodes of the series. David Koechner's frequent work with actors Ferrell, Carell & Jack Black, have lead some critics and journalists to point out his association with the media-dubbed "Frat Pack".[12][13] Koechner has managed to become a very popular character actor, being hired for almost 20 supporting or cameo roles in movies since his role in Anchorman.

In 2007, Koechner will be seen in his first leading role in The Comebacks (opening August 24), the first comedy to be released under Fox Searchlight's Fox Atomic division[14] Koechner will play a college football coach with the worst record in the history of the sport vows to turn things around with his new team of ragtag recruits. He describes this career opportunity as the "first lead for the right hander."[3] Veteran actor Carl Weathers plays Koechner's rival coach. Though Koechner, whom usually writes and improvises his material, had no involvement with the screenplay, he compliments director Tom Brady for taking "great care to make it as smart as he could," adding that it's a sports comedy rather than a spoof.[3] The Comebacks is an upcoming comedy film expected to be released sometime in 2007. ... is the 236th day of the year (237th in leap years) in the Gregorian calendar. ...

On January 17, 2007, Comedy Central premiered The Naked Trucker and T-Bones Show, a sketch comedy series starring David Koechner (T-Bones) and longtime performing partner David 'Gruber' Allen (The Naked Trucker.) Koechner's T-Bones character is the wiley, scheming drifter to Allen's calm, straight man. The duo perform their unique brand of off-color songs and introduce pre-taped skits. Many of Koechner's past co-stars have filmed pre-taped cameos including Will Ferrell, Jack Black, Steve Carell, Andy Richter, Dax Shepard and Paul Rudd. The pre-taped skits give Koechner more screentime than Allen, often letting him showcase his comedic charisma alongside guest stars like Richter and Shepard. Currently, Comedy Central has ordered 8 episodes[15] In the eight years Koechner & Allen have been playing these characters, there have been several attempts to bring the act to television, but had trouble figuring how to translate it into a series.[4] March 20, 2007 will mark the release of Koechner & Allen's first album, Naked Trucker and T-Bones Live at the Troubador.[16] January 17 is the 17th day of the year in the Gregorian calendar. ...
