Kenan Thompson: How an Atlanta Kid Manifested a Mighty Ducks Role, Starred at Nickelodeon, and Became SNLs Longest-Running Cast Member
Kenan Thompson (Saturday Night Live, Good Burger, Kenan & Kel, All That) is perhaps the most consistently funny TV performer of his generation. He\u2019s 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 \u2013 given the chance \u2013 he'd consider taking over for SNL creator Lorne Michaels.
