Comedian David Koechner will be performing during Veishea 2014 on April 12 at Stephens Auditorium. 

Best known for his roles in the film “Anchorman” and the television show “The Office,” Koechner has toured his stand-up comedy throughout the country. 

“He’s a great comedian,” said Mikayla O’Brien, Veishea entertainment co-chairwoman. “It’s a good opportunity for a larger name comedian to come, especially when his movie [“Anchorman 2″] will be out.” 

Koechner got his start on “Saturday Night Live” in 1995 and quickly began staring in other television shows like “The Naked Trucker and T-Bones Show.”

Since then, Koechner has landed roles in films like “Waiting…”, “Talladega Nights” and even appeared on the television show “Hannah Montana.”

“He’s a very recognizable name to students,” O’Brien said. 

Now, Koechner is returning to his former roles in “Anchorman 2” on Dec. 18. 

Koechner will perform at 10 p.m. April 12.
