The Credibility Gap was a satirical comedy team active from 1968 through 1979. They emerged in the late 1960s doing comedic commentary on the news for the Los Angeles AM rock radio station KRLA 1110, and proceeded to develop more elaborate and ambitious satirical routines on the "underground" station KPPC-FM, Pasadena, California. Founded as loose collective centered on KRLA staff members Lew Irwin, John Gilliland, Thom Beck, Richard Beebe, and folk singer Len Chandler, the group is chiefly remembered today for its 1971-1979 line-up, comprising Beebe, Harry Shearer, David L. Lander and Michael McKean.
