    I love how he did all these impressions of black celebrities, and then threw the whitest man in existence John Mulaney in there.

      I disagree. I don't think he's very good at all. Not one of those were spot-on. I guess they're all OKAY (and obviously better than I can do) but they're all just kind of.... close.

    if SNL did a better job at writing sketches based on the talent they had... he wouldve been my favourite cast member.. but his talents were wasted over there.. while they give people who are less talented to impeesonate celebirties and they are never right on like jay is.

    • @tubakenn
      @tubakenn Před 6 lety +11

      Vino sitas it's because SNL hates black people. I'm surprised Kenan has lasted this long.

    • @MisterFoxx
      @MisterFoxx Před 6 lety +10

      If Jay was actually funnier and a better actor I’m sure he’d last longer, but his stand up is terrible and his acting in his own canceled show was weak and outshined by his supporting cast.

    • @bayfire7320
      @bayfire7320 Před 6 lety +7

      Jay is a great actor, in order to do celebrity impressions like Jay you have to be a good actor. It's not easy to mirror celebrities even down to there body movements. SNL wasn't a good platform for Jay. SNL is corny, any show that kept david spade on its show you know its sucks.

    • @ghostfvce2151
