Description: Kenan Thompson (Saturday Night Live, Good Burger, Kenan & Kel, All That) is perhaps the most consistently funny TV performer of his generation. He’s the longest-running SNL cast member, and is beloved for early roles in Good Burger, D2: The Mighty Ducks, and the TV shows All That and Kenan & Kel. Kenan joins Guy to talk about his Nickelodeon days, why some of his big breaks have felt like kismet, his awkward SNL audition, impersonating celebrities, and whether – given the chance – he'd consider taking over for SNL creator Lorne Michaels.Links from the show:Kenan & Kel Youtube playlistAll That Funniest Moments compilationKenan's highlights from D2: The Mighty DucksGood Burger - Ed's SauceWhat Up with That? - SNLFamily Feud: Oscar Nominees - SNLKenan's Al Sharpton impressionDarrell Hammond's Bill Clinton impressionPhoto of Kenan's inspiration: headshots lining the SNL hallwaySee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
