#SNL #KenanThompson - Zábava
I'm surprised Kenan doesn't have severe back problems from carrying the entire show for so long.
My point exactly. The funniest skits where the ones he was in and prob had a lead role
him and pete daivdson
@@Hungryhipptoes seriously? i don't know how Pete Davidson became a cast member, he's got no talent, can't do impressions, just reads lines w/ monotone and appears to give zero effort .
for his monologues, he just relies on being mean and talking about how he has mental health issues.
one of my least favorite SNL cast members
Ikr💯
@@skrewler ok... haters are just going to hate. He is very talented and funny. He talks about all of this because is one way he deals with his depression. The monologues in snl are always a small story about there life.
I grew up watching Kenan on Nickelodeon. I’m now bald with a greying beard, and Kenan looks the same.
Dude me too! I’m 39 and he looks the same!
He does not age 💯
*czcams.com/video/VZ8hJwhnskI/video.html*
Yeah he brings that Mickey mouse vibe to the cast hes not funny so he has to be loud and silly for laughs . He got outshined by kel back in the day and never evolved really
@@lopesben81 lol you commenting this on every comment. If you don’t like him you’re on the wrong video, waste your time in a way that will actually make you happy.
He does not get the credit he deserves!! This dude is a legit comedy legend!
He is ive been watching him as long as I can remember all that, Kenan and Kel, good burger, snl I still quote Pierre Escargot 🤣
He does. It's why he's been on the show longer than everyone, and why he's everyone's favorite cast member.
He gets WAY more credit than he deserves.
dude
HE GETS SO MUCH CREDIT ITS COMING OUT OF ALL THE EARS OF COMMENTS FOR YEARS OF VIDEOS
OVERRATED. (yes good thats true) BUT OVERRATED BY PEOPLE LIKE YOU
He’s been in the comedic game since childhood. I grew up with this man.
The "Come Back Barrack" gets me every time. ❤️
This is going to be 38 hrs long, dude has so many hits on the show for so long.
came here to leave this comment. the dude is a legend in the making.
Ikr
Yup
Facts
@Justin Y. greetings bruh
This better be 3 - 6 hours long. With a follow up 10 hour video of just Kenan singing "What's up with that".
i second this!
Sounds like legit Hell 😆🤘🖤
Absolutely AND we miss you Barack!! Legendary 🙏🏽💯🇺🇸♥️✊🏿
I would pay for this content
They better fit in that entire R Kelley skit or we riot
Tom Hanks was too funny in the black jeopardy skit😂😂👏🏽👏🏽.
Yea he was😂
"Let's get.eer done." 😅
Ooooweee they started with the best skit EVER!! 😂🤣🤣 That's my favourite!
Yess!! I wrote that too 😆
🤣🤣🤣 I had to watch it again it's that funny those people were just there to watch him perform pretty much
Same here 🤣 lmao especially the one with Samuel Jackson looking at Jason sudekus like he done lost his damn mind dancing like that 😂and the way Jason walked away.. I was in tears lmao 🤣

Looks like SNL is supporting Kenan on his new primetime series - but he's not leaving SNL either thankfully.
It’ll be a very sad day when he does 😔
Oh thank god he’s not leaving I got scared
I'm happy he will stay! He's the glue of this show.
@@sourcactus222 SAME !
Thank god I got scared 😱
There's a reason why he's longest running regular cast member. He's versatile, creative, hysterical. His timing is awesome.
Are you insane? He is the most un-funny SNL black guy ever... Being fat and black does not automatically make one funny.
@@cfx5000 does having an unmeasurable IQ run in your family or is it just you?
I have a 174 IQ. I am willing to bet you can count your IQ with all your fingers and toes.
And now he has a Prime Time Sitcom
@@cfx5000 I genuinely wonder what makes y’all so mad in your spirit. It’s quite scary. I hope you heal🥰
Jason Sudeikis flying out of nowhere always kills me.....
You could have 3 hours of Kenan footage and it STILL wouldn't come close to covering the highlights of this man's career. Best comedic actor of the 21st century. Period.
Wow.
I swear, he could do “What up with that” a million times and he still makes it hilarious!
I agree
It’s my most favourite sketch. It’s never not hilarious!
For real for real 🤣😂😂😂🤠😂🤣
I love those skits. Everyone on the panel is trying hard not to break every time. And Jason doin the running man in that track suit kills me
Literally never gets old 😂😂
We honestly just need to take a moment to really appreciate Kenan. He’s been a comedian for decades without any scandals, he still looks like hes in his 20s, hes carried SNL on his back for ages, and hes just genuinely hilarious in literally everything he does. This man gives off such good vibes and is always able to make me laugh and smile, no matter how shitty my day was.
he is comedy perfection.
That is So Real.. He's Awesome
He's a national treasure.
He is a national treasure
@@BrianSmith-gd5xw I have to agree with you there. I don't know how old he is, but he deserves a Lifetime Achievement Award at some point.
Keenan has been doing sketch comedy his whole life way before Saturday night live
I miss keenan and kel...
I've been a fan since All That and Kenan and Kel. Still so funny! One of the few people who have been a constant humor source in many ages of my life.
@@Phoenix197new good-burger movie on paramount +
I see why my sons used to laugh so hard watching Kenan&Kel growing up, He hasn't changed a bit LoL and life is doing him good, He looks great.
That's where I found out about him...Kenan and Kel.
Don’t forget all that 💯
You look good
The combination of Kenan singing, "What up with that?" while Jason does his running man dance in the red track suit is just priceless. ❤️
Ikr 😂
Hell yesss🤣🤣🤣
most underrated duo in snl history haha
Jason got moves!
Jason's crazy in that sketch. He could really teach a cardio class lol
Jason Sudekis dancing always gets me
Yes! I was like dang that man gotta be FIT !
Him doing the running man kills me
And Fred, who after all this time, doesn’t even know how to properly hold a saxophone.
Every single time.... he's doing the moves, but stays off beat the whole time. 🤣😭
Joggerman lol😅
Jason in the red suit slowing down to the music tempo is a mood fr
Everytime I see him I am laughing already before he talks!!! He's so funny!!! 😂
he has definitely surpassed the average hilarious comic
he’s a legend to me the funniest on earth
Yesss me too 😂
So true
You're adorable.
Jason Sudeikis in the red jumpsuit in the background always kills me.
The way he walks off when the music stops. Classic.
@@tonyk.1784 Right 😂
I thought I was the only one noticing
And you can see Armison trying hard not to laugh every time
Jason gets his exercise & workout in
A more fitting title for this video would be: *The Best of Kenan Thompson on SNL (Part 1 of 528)*
I know this is kind of a joke.
But I hate those videos that say 'Best of' and then proceed to show you every video
@@DonSultanable Sultan, your highness, we are lucky to have these treasures.
This
Only 528? Lol
@@DonSultanable I do wish this had more of his classic ones.
I've been loving the hell out of Keenan Thompson since I was a 90s Nick Kid. I could watch literally anything with him in it and love it. The dude could be making toast and I'd love it. He's a comedic genius.
Can't imagine the eventual moment when he will leave SNL. He has truly left such a lasting mark on the show, one of my all-time favorites!
I can’t imagine SNL without Kenan. He’s such an asset to the show. Equally amazing in lead roles and bit parts.
He’s so great at just appearing in a sketch or digital short, even if it’s just for a line or reaction. I want him to stay as long as he’s happy.
SAME :)
I just like him being there when crazy stuff is going on. Like that Christmas one about Santa. He only had a few lines. His facial expression be so funny.
I felt that way about so many people. Chris Farley, David Spade, Will Ferrell, Kristin Wiig, Fred Armisan, Rachel Dratch, Bill Hader! etc. 😮💨
He needed this, Kenan is officially the goat.
No. Think of all the legends that have come through the years. His tenure may have been the longest but definitely not the best.
*czcams.com/video/VZ8hJwhnskI/video.html*
@@AustinThinker79 Well, then it makes total sense that you are here watching a video dedicated to him... BRILLIANT!
Well most of the other legends from SNL had other things that they were famous for. Kenan is famous for SNL only, which makes him the king of the show. At least in the modern day.
Comedy is very subjective. What makes me laugh may not make you laugh .
So versatile! Top actor and comedian!
Kenan is an American Comedic Royalty. The whole SNL cast is so full of amazing talent.
I'm sure his mother is very proud of him. He's talked about how she sacrificed a lot to pay for & take him to acting classes in ATL as a kid. Its wonderful when a parent believes in you & helps you work towards your dreams. You're awesome Keenan!
A parent believing in you and being in your corner is the most priceless thing ever.
Now he can take care of his mom. It must be the one of the most rewarding aspects of becoming successful like him.
Why did they change the final black jeopardy category.
wish i could say the same thing about my family. when i get successful im not gonna owe nobody shit. thats the truth.
*Kenan
"And remember to subscribe!"
"Now it's laser time"
ikr 😆
*czcams.com/video/VZ8hJwhnskI/video.html*
Yeah they messed up by not bringing that ending back for this :D
I love Kenan. He's always funny, and 'What up with that?' is right up there with my favorite SNL sketches.
I love "What's up with that?". My favorite show.
"The Best of Kenan Thompson"...only 1 hour long.
What's up wit dat?
Love it
This is only volume 1 more coming I'm sure!
Ooohhh Weee!!!
This better be part one of a larger series!!! We could do two more hours of content 💯
Hahahaha , excellent :)
Kenan is the fucking best, and there is no way around that
a one
What’s Up With That! Is so hilarious😂😂😂😂😂
Kenan Thompson:
A Legend.
*Kenan
@@jamesanderson6373 thanks
Back in the old days, this would be a DVD.
It still could be. Lol
Oh my goodness! I have so many of those DVDs too!
Right?! 🤣
Facts, its only 1 hour, but it is free!
Get 500 hours free
Kenan Thompson is so clutch on SNL. He can do it all. He is the glue of that cast. Glad he got his own show but is still doing SNL. I give him and Chris Redd a lot of credit for doing "Kenan" in L.A. during the week and taking a flight back to NYC to do SNL on Saturday's.
*czcams.com/video/VZ8hJwhnskI/video.html*
I saw in an interview that when an SNL skit wasn't getting much laughs the director would zoom in on Kenan and just seeing him and the look on his face would make the audience laugh. They said they try not to rely on that. Their goal is for the writing to be funny on it's own. He is definitely the go to guy on the show.
@@rugr82day this just warms my heart. I've been watching him since his Kenan and Kel and All That days. I just adore him 😍 ❤
@@rugr82day Reminds me of Community. The creator, Dan Harmon, said sometimes they duno how to finish a scene so in the script they'd write "Donald will say something funny here"
@@DJLawrence , that's cool. I need to watch "Community". I hear great things about it and "Parks and Recs."
Keegan Thompson is so talented. It must be so nice to do something you really enjoy. You can tell he really lives his job.
😂😂 I am 70 and I love it love it
😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊
Kenan😂😂😂😂
Bro carries the show through the decades! We love you Keenan, been making us laugh since literal childhood on Nick. This man is a true legend and deserves all the best
Who remembers Kenan in “All That” and “Good Burger” ? So glad this guy is still working !!
Don't forget Mighty Ducks and Heavyweights
@@hustleman85 A
I remember him doing the French character in the bathtub on All That.
hell yeah
In the SIXTEEN YEARS that Kenan has been on SNL, how has there NEVER been an episode hosted by Kel Mitchell where Kenan interrupts the opening monologue with a list of ridiculous things for Kel to bring him/an obscure location to bring said items to??? UGH!!! #missedopportunity
I can’t imagine anyone disliking Kenan. He’s absolutely hysterical and so down to earth. Loved him on Kenan and Kel and All That.
I love him!!
Principle pimp pel🤣🤣🤣🤣
As a person? He's fine. As an actor on SNL? He's been coasting hard for the last decade. Dude needs to leave, just like Kate McKinnon.
He's a treasure so funny and talented
He did Kel dirty though. Basically turned his back on him even though they were supposed to be homies. That was cold...
Dude, He's is freaking amazing
I want to see you at the Kennedy awards next year receiving an award for one of the funniest people on the planet! You deserve it!
Donald Storm.....GREAT IDEA!!!! I sure hope whomever has the most input on selecting the recipients, I hope this suggestion of yours gets their attention somehow!! Omg.....what a HILARIOUS human being ❣😃😉 ❤
🎼 _Who am I!_
KENAN IS THE BEST SNL CAST MEMBER. HE CARRIES ALL THE SKETCHES HE’S IN, PERIODT !!!!
*czcams.com/video/VZ8hJwhnskI/video.html*
AMEN!!
Peridot just doesnt get SNL
While Kate McKinnon is still my favorite, Kenan is a close second!
Lol he’s the best now with the current cast but that doesn’t say a lot. Real low bar
Jason Sedaikis dancing in the background for ‘What’s up Wit That’ is everything 💯
He's the legend.
Kenan Thompson is 45 year old. I was shocked when I come to know that. 😂 He looks like he's just graduated from college.
I beg your pardon 😮😮😮 wow I’m getting old!!
You sound like you just graduated middle school.
@@WillConley You sound like a d*mb guy who thinks he's smart.
Jason in his Red track suit was killing all of his dance moves. Couldn't take my eyes of his skills🤣🤣🤣
Lol. Ridiculous dance move. And he's so serious with the moves
The level of commitment to his character 😂
Jason is damn funny.
Yes, he was a scene-stealer for sure😂👏🏽👏🏽.
Yes he's the best!
Kenan has been on SNL since I was a kid.
I’m 75 years old now.
🤣🤣
What up with dat?
that isn't even possible
he's 42
@@ITI-xi5zx Again I must ask, "What up with dat?"
"What is not a damn thing" I howled omg. This is a great sketch
“What Up With That” will be funny forever!!
Came to the comments to see if others were freaking out like me lool, thanks everyone who reassured us he's not leaving yet☺️ 🙌🏾
🙌🏻
Lol same
Please delete the yet. We're not ready for that in 2050.
Someone needs to make a supercut of Kenan's best sketch from every year of his career. Watch him grow up from All That to today.
Yeah. It’s not truly the best of Kenan without his Nickelodeon sketches. That’s why they had to put “on SNL” in the title.
Love you to bits Kenan
Not only does he have us in stitches, has no one even mentioned that he can sing too?! Honestly one of the best cast members of SNL. Much love from the UK
OMG!!! This episode of Black Jeopardy w/ Tom Hanks is my all time fave!!!
"Oh. Okay then. Doug."
ok y'all so kenan and chris redd have both said that they aren't leaving SNL, so i think we're good
I was jus goin to ask that too 😂
Nice
Yay
*czcams.com/video/VZ8hJwhnskI/video.html*
Phew 😅! They’re awesome 🤩
Keenan is definitely a national treasure all our lives are so much better for him being in it
I Stan for Kenan!!
Homeboy kills this
My favorite thing about "What's Up With That?" was always Jason Sedeikis dancing. He was so good.
Yeah. In Ted Lasso, it is the very dance that went viral.
Or soooo bad!!!😂
for sure! Very Ted Lasso energy from Sudeikis
you're so right ! Jason dances better than me & I can dance but I've never been able to do the "ROGER RABBIT" & he has it down pat !
watched it a million times. Never knew it was Jason. I always wondered every time and did not know until now. Thank you
He was huge in my childhood with All That, Kenan & Kel, Good Burger and I love that I still get to see him now on SNL!
The guy in the red tracksuit in the what’s up with that? Sketch, Move’s fantastically he is brilliant 😂
Kenan Thompson, one of the most funny comedians around. I love his mischievous grin he sports when doing a comedy skit on SNL. It really makes his comedy stand out. Some of his comedy looks extremely complicated too me, and he executes it like a real talented pro, no hesitations, no mistakes, just pure talent.
Kenan's positivity is just infectious and inspiring. The man is simultaneously down to Earth while being among the stars. He is definitely one of SNL's greatest comedians of all time and more importantly, the guy just radiates good vibes.
seems like a great guy, very good energy.. but just not funny? I see him as an entertainer NOT a comedian. SNL is sooo bad. can't believe people watch this show. every 5 years I'll check in and watch and regret doing so.
If there's one thing I find funny, it's positivity.
Well said!
Best CZcams comment I read today
This video does his career on snl no justice. We need at least 5 parts lol
I'm so happy for Keenan I'm glad he didn't stop working he is a funny talented dude I always look forward to seeing him on snl hopefully his show is a hit he deserves it

U sir are a scholar and a gentleman..
thank you!
The "Best of Keenan" on SNL should actually be 17 years long. Not just 1 hour
Please spend the next 17 years looking up Keenan clips so we don't have to deal with you.
The sound of the broom hitting ceiling 😂
This should’ve been 18 years long but an hour straight of Kenan is fine.
i mean one hour is just not enough keenan literally is the backbone of SNL
facts
what about them saying him yarding kel
He's not a literal backbone.
Let's all just appreciate Fred for playing all those notes/mimic on time. That is some talent man!
#respect
😂😂😂🎉Zach on the double flute 🪈 is always a yes for me 😂😂😂😂
Black Jeopardy with Tom Hanks was a moment
Git her done.
Kenan Thompson has carried SNL on his back alone, for many of his 18 seasons. He makes me smile as soon as I see him on screen. 90% of my favorite skits feature him .
I hope Kenan never leaves SNL. No one else has ever been as consistently funny as him.
From "All That" to "What's Up With That", I'm thankful to have had Kenan to keep me smiling all my life. Thanks buddy! Great work!
I just showed my daughters Good burger and they love it. They were like “ daddy is that’s the guy that sings ooowee, what’s up with that”. Been a fan for almost 30 years... that’s crazy.
My niece put that on the tv every day. My sister mad sometimes.
He was just as good as a little kid.
If anyone deserves a Netflix special it's this guy...
Kenan is not a stand-up, he is a great comedic actor. Would love to see him challenge himself though.
Love me some Keenan but I don’t think he could pull it off he don’t do stand up and is too used to other people writing for him. Not that there aren’t other writers helping out ppl Dave Chappell or Chris Rock but they do most of their own jokes and I think that’s what makes the difference.
Kenan is literally the King Of SNL, and probably the King Of New York
Kenan's 'Big Poppy' can come live on my shoulder forever.
I can't believe they didn't include the R. Kelly interview! One of his absolute greatest sketches ever!
Agreed
Just need this to be part 1..of at least 18.
Truuuuuuuu
Call me victim.... Comedy gold
@@davidbaillie2400 “Starts with a Q...” 🤣
Honestly we’re too lucky that Kenan is still on the cast he’s essential
Always got to have a over wieght guy
@@bradleymarianchuk2491 …….
Your post Likes should be in the thousands.
Only funny cast member left
@@bradleymarianchuk2491you’d know a thing or two about that wouldnt you 😉
FRIENDOS had me !!! lmao love it - Thats the crew right there
What's up with that is one of my faves. Makes me laugh and dance. Love every second. Hilarious.
it is criminal that his funeral service sketch with scarlett johansson isn't included in this
I had never seen that but you made me look it up that is hilarious
🎶 "Here is my butt as I lean against the wall..." 🎶
It is criminal that not ALL of his sketches are here.
I’m not far in but that is def criminal! It would be like leaving out Virginiaca. Which don’t tell me they left out. 😖
It's criminal that this is only an hour long.
18 years!!!! CONGRATULATIONS Keenan, the longest running member of the SNL crew
9 is not the same 8th 8th the next one i9
He is the reason I still watch SNL. He is a genius.
If you DIDN'T rewind it at least 10X to watch Zach Galifinakis prance around with that damn flute then we probably can't be friends.😆
Some people try to criticize K for being on SNL or so long, but he is legit super funny, born to perform this way. Keep funny people up front where they can make us really laugh.
Never heard anyone criticize him for being on SNL so long
And we don’t know the terms of his contract. Maybe the executives see his worth and kept him. Some actors leave after brief contracts.
Who?
Like others say: the man simply does not age. He is always fresh.
@Mitch Ddhfacetyy the thing is what they think doesn't matter. he still on the show doing his job or he would be gone
Neither Kenan nor Paul Rudd are capable of aging.
@Moon ZappaUnit2
Honey. Please.
Unplug, go outside and get some sunlight tomorrow. Even for fifteen minutes.
Adrenochrome is very easy to debunk, and the people who make up this junk drew it from very public fictional sources.
For the record: adrenochrome, if hypothetically taken regularly as some kind of treatment, would probably AGE you because of what it is and how it works in the body.
It's only real use is to encourage blood clotting. And it's not even much used for that.
Getting adrenochrome from blood or a human body would be preposterously hard, especially when humans have known how to make it synthetically for a long time by artificially producing adrenaline and then oxidizing it.
For example
patents.google.com/patent/US4501923A/en
Some beatniks appear to have given DMT the cooler name "adrenochrome" decades ago, and it made its way into fiction, and eventually became a cool fictional drug.
But they were repurposing a name-- adrenochrome is not really DMT, it is a real chemical compound with very few uses.
There was a theory that maybe it was part of what caused schizophrenia, but that now seems unlikely.
The actual drugs that appear to be able to slow aging are called senolytics, and scientists are hard at work at creating or re-applying them now.
You can look up everything about how and why they work and what they are, if you want to fall down a useful, factual rabbit hole.
Oh don’t forget Shakeira,JLo and Pharrell Williams
18 years wow....congratulations Kenan♥️
Jason busted out ,, everyone,,,, omg he did everything. Dancing genius!
Black Jeopardy with T'Challa. Keenan's reactions are genius.
The only black jeopardy better is the one with Tom Hanks
In my opinion, SNL's most versatile, naturally capable and eternal character ever.
WhatsUpWithThat... is one of the BEST bits of the last 20 years... Keenan... thankyou for this.... it gets me through the darker places.... and we laugh and laugh
The flute solo the singing and Jason killin them damn dance moves lol
