Why would any interviewer in a light-hearted environment like that ask someone if being short bothered them? Why would she take a dig at him like that, asking if those other kids were his age? Then to follow-up and ask if it bothered him when he was little?? What did she hope to gain? This wasn't a sit-down tell-all interview. It just came out of nowhere and seemed insulting.
It's common tv interviewer. You will see the promos and it will ALWAYS be the great questions their people ask. They get so wrapped up in their questions they forget to let the Interviewee answer the question.😎
Probably because they usually have a limited amount of time per segment and she’s probably trying to get as much info into the segment as possible. To her credit, he is speaking pretty slowly 😊
@@nm0852- I hate that sometimes. Tamron Hall does it on her show too. I'm like, don't invite 20 guests on for one episode! Or shorten the lead up to your question!
He was talking over her as well. She couldn't finish asking him the question before he kept interrupting with the answer and downplaying the situation that he had written in the book.
👉🏾This WAS NOT a good interview and I was so bothered watching this. 😮It was so rude the way she would ask a question then step all over top of Kenan’s answers. She rushed every response Kenan gave. We spent more time listening to her thoughts than we did his responses. I have worked in tv/film for over 13 years professionally, with over 15 years semi professionally, in addition to majoring in journalism in college and can say this was one of the worst interviews I’ve seen from a tv show host. For fans of Kenan watching, this was such a disappointment for a subject we truly wanted to hear his uninterrupted words on. Smh
@@deangeloproductions8876I agree 💯%! It definitely felt like a gossip tabloid reporter looking for a juicy story and headline to me and less like her trying to unravel the untold story behind long time friends who reunited. Just not a fan of this interview!
@@willpower3317 Yes, if I were Kenan I would’ve definitely felt like the host was showing me that I wasn’t important and just wanted to rush through my time and get me off the set. And he’s such a humble quiet guy, that it seemed like she was just physically beating on him with her words the way she aggressively controlled the conversation, bulldozing over him every time he would reply to her questions.
Wow.. the way this man speaks… respect. He was my childhood at my grandmas house, and after watching this I love him even more. I’m def going to buy his book!
@@yacobz yeah, for me too. Specially how humble he is. I noticed that when he speaks i can feel that he truly speaks from the heart, even if it’s on TH-cam but made my day also when i saw this video. 💕 glad it helped you too
Thank you!!! I stopped watching because I was like, "This interview is bothering me." 😂 It's like she asking him questions but not interested in his reaponses! 🙄
I met him in person at a Celebrity Allstar Basketball game in Indianapolis probably 25 years ago. You guys….he is even nicer in person that what we see on screen. Very sweet man . Love you Keenan ❤
You're right. I met him this past summer when he was filming Goodburger 2 in my hometown in R.I. He is very pleasant... Kel as well. It was a pleasure meeting them.
He's truly an inspiration. Watching him on All That when I was a kid, he just had this natural flow with each skit that you can still see today on SNL. And like Hoda said, the fact that he went from child star to successful adult is amazing.
Yeah, everyone's had THAT rumor attached to their name at some point. Colin, Michael, Tina, etc. Honestly, the only way I see Lorne "retiring" is slumped in his chair dead, wine glass dangling from his fingers.
He taught me English. I loved his shows on Nickelodeon when I saw it in Spanish, and then loved it when I had learned English too. Sometimes the only parts of him of SNL. 🎉😂🎉
This guy is such a genuine nice man, I saw him in a museum and he literally offered to go outside with me to take a picture because museum security said no pics in the museum.
Yes, he is. I met him and Kel this past summer when they filmed Goodburger 2 in my hometown in R.I. They both were generous with their time after filming to take pics with everyone.
it's common these days, people are aging better. It seems like a lot of people age in subtle ways now, like they look like they did in their 20's/30's but tired. Kenan just has the bags under the eyes but otherwise basically the same.
probably won't. he's already expressed that he wanted to leave a few years ago. also, it is rumored that lourne will quit next year and that either seth myers, tina fey or kenan is up in the running to replace him
Why would any interviewer in a light-hearted environment like that ask someone if being short bothered them? Why would she take a dig at him like that, asking if those other kids were his age? Then to follow-up and ask if it bothered him when he was little?? What did she hope to gain? This wasn't a sit-down tell-all interview. It just came out of nowhere and seemed insulting.
God bless Kenan for sticking up with the interviewer after she keot interrupting answers to her questions. Takes a truly good soul to sit through that and lose a million and be so chill!
I always loved Keenan. He is such a genuine and funny soul. His SNL scared straight made me laugh soooo much when he grabs one of the guys and says,“Boy, you better shut your mouth.” 😂
It may be different for females because if I have a fallout with someone (I actually don't have any current fallouts) but when they have happened and time goes by, I still do remember why.
This needs to be an SNL skit of her running him over in this interview (freaking hilarious and funnier because it is unintentionally funny), asking a question, let's him answer for a second, then she speaks over him again with a ton of giggles, and asking over and over again "so you trust people?.... so you trust people?...So, you still trust people?"
This video is the perfect encapsulation of why TH-cam and podcasts are slowly destroying traditional TV. Everything on these shows has a very specific amount of time it needs to fill. You can't just have a natural, free-flowing conversation. In this case, I'm guessing the reason Hoda seemed especially rushed was that some other segment had gone over its time, and this already brief interview was forced to be hurried along even more to make up for it.
Kenan and Kel was my childhood so even it hurts to hear they had issues but I understand that things happen behind ghetto scenes that we don’t see. All in all, Kenan & Kel was one of my favorite shows growing up in the 2000s
Kenan is the heart and soul of SNL. He's the reason that I started watching it again years ago, and one of the reasons that I'm still hooked on it. When he leaves, I'm sure many of the cast members will comment on how great he was as a character/comedic actor. He will definitely get his flowers.
He’s just chill people. He’s not annoyed and she’s not talking over him, it’s a healthy dialogue. He’s relaxed and not defensive, maybe guarded but who isn’t?! He works SNL, maybe he isn’t a morning person.
I remembered when they announced he was gonna be on SNL, and I thought it wouldn't last. Boy was I wrong, and this man has been in some of the best sketches of all time. He is definitely in the SNL hall of fame.
When I first saw the title of the video, I thought it was literally saying that Kenan and Kel had a breakup, and ended their friendship which would have been really sad. Glad to see that they're cool and whatever issues they had were easy to get over.
Whats annoying is her constant talking WHILE he's talkinn as well. Those "yeah" "uh huh" "sure, sure" Lady....shut up. Just be patient and wait. We want to hear HIM not you.
For all of the comments saying she's rushing the interview by talking over him, they only have so much time and to get all the questions she wants in she has to keep the interview moving.
Happy Birthday Kenan Thompson. UR a legend, man. Me and my younger brother, we love Good Burger. Best american food... I go to Whataburger. Its great. The Smurfs 1 and 2 is great. Totally amazing... still, I watched Good Burger, when I was 10 or 12 years old... never in 1997. I love black people. Like Shaq, I love playing basketball. Love u Kenan. Full respect and support u dude!!! May the Peace be with u Bro. From Harlingen Texas. May 10, 1978 May 10, 2024 through May 10, 3024
I love the part when she asks him a question and immediately cuts him off, the greatest interviewer of our time!
😅😂😄
Exactly my thought.
My goodness! She was killin me 😂
I'm going to talk over you. Worse than Howard Stern.
She learned that from Kathy Lee! Same exact style.
I'm glad kennan and Kel are actually reconnected and living it up together again!
Hoda, let the man speak. You are usually a better interviewer. Why are you cutting off his every thought?
Exactly
She likes him
I know. I've never known her to do that in interviews. She seems so rushed.
I was looking for this comment. She was over the top in this interview.
maybe he got there late and she had to rush the interview
She is so negative. Talking over him. Putting her spin on his answers. Terrible interview
She learned how to interview from the Oprah school of learning 😂
So a normal Today Show interview for the last 30 years?
I generally love Hoda but she sucked at this interview. Let him talk. 😂 Love Kenan!
Exactly
They were both just talking over each other it was weird
Why would any interviewer in a light-hearted environment like that ask someone if being short bothered them?
Why would she take a dig at him like that, asking if those other kids were his age? Then to follow-up and ask if it bothered him when he was little?? What did she hope to gain? This wasn't a sit-down tell-all interview. It just came out of nowhere and seemed insulting.
They were probably like we got five minutes for the segment. We’re running behind. Put Hoda on it.
It's common tv interviewer. You will see the promos and it will ALWAYS be the great questions their people ask. They get so wrapped up in their questions they forget to let the Interviewee answer the question.😎
Dang why is she talking over him!? He cant even finish answering a question before she barges in!
REALLY !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! hush !!!!
Probably because they usually have a limited amount of time per segment and she’s probably trying to get as much info into the segment as possible. To her credit, he is speaking pretty slowly 😊
@@nm0852- I hate that sometimes. Tamron Hall does it on her show too. I'm like, don't invite 20 guests on for one episode! Or shorten the lead up to your question!
That's why I came to the comments. I hate when hosts do that. Please let your guests share.
He was talking over her as well. She couldn't finish asking him the question before he kept interrupting with the answer and downplaying the situation that he had written in the book.
I grew up watching Kenan and Kel. He’s such a wholesome guy and I always tried being the kind person he always was.
Yeah def wouldn't want to be like him he looks so angry
I wish she'd stop talking over him, like shut up already
Annoying

THANK YOU! Smh. He did a great job keeping up with the pace and not ignoring her... but not necessarily agreeing with her forcing the 'feud' either.
@@deangeloproductions8876I agree 💯%! It definitely felt like a gossip tabloid reporter looking for a juicy story and headline to me and less like her trying to unravel the untold story behind long time friends who reunited. Just not a fan of this interview!
I didn’t think anybody else would notice. It’s almost unbearable. It’s almost like they didn’t want to interview him at all.
@@willpower3317 Yes, if I were Kenan I would’ve definitely felt like the host was showing me that I wasn’t important and just wanted to rush through my time and get me off the set.

Can she STOP interrupting every sentence he tries to get out?
I can't WAIT to read this. I love Kenan, I grew up watching him and Kel! Always so happy for everything he's achieved.
Wow.. the way this man speaks… respect. He was my childhood at my grandmas house, and after watching this I love him even more. I’m def going to buy his book!
I struggle with my own trust issues, and when he said "Not everyone is a crook", that hit deep. Such simple words, and yet I needed to hear them.
@@yacobz yeah, for me too. Specially how humble he is. I noticed that when he speaks i can feel that he truly speaks from the heart, even if it’s on TH-cam but made my day also when i saw this video. 💕 glad it helped you too
I know time is limited, but the talking over him before he can finish is very difficult to listen to.
They can just make it a sketch, I’m sure it would be hilarious
If a skit goes bad on SNL, it will never be because of Keenan. He’s a dependable player.
He honestly plays the same character with the goofy grin in every single skit.
Facts
@@PapagenoMF Will Farrell did the same type of thing.
and it's gold everytime.@@PapagenoMF
Why is she talking over him??? Lolol
Interviewers tend to do that to speed things along in order to cover everything in short amount of time. Can be annoying though at times.
Thank you!!! I stopped watching because I was like, "This interview is bothering me." 😂 It's like she asking him questions but not interested in his reaponses! 🙄
i also hate that myself ,,, but its a part of the , way
I wonder is she on some type of medication! I don't believe that she's that nervous! She's done this too many times interviewing celebrities😮
I met him in person at a Celebrity Allstar Basketball game in Indianapolis probably 25 years ago. You guys….he is even nicer in person that what we see on screen. Very sweet man . Love you Keenan ❤
@monicasoto3481 Also he hasn't aged a day since 2004!👼♥🙏🕵
You're right. I met him this past summer when he was filming Goodburger 2 in my hometown in R.I. He is very pleasant... Kel as well. It was a pleasure meeting them.
@@SuperMarioBrosIII I know, the gall of other losers to age.
He's truly an inspiration. Watching him on All That when I was a kid, he just had this natural flow with each skit that you can still see today on SNL. And like Hoda said, the fact that he went from child star to successful adult is amazing.
The big rumor is that when Lorne retires from running SNL, he may get his job.
Yeah, everyone's had THAT rumor attached to their name at some point. Colin, Michael, Tina, etc. Honestly, the only way I see Lorne "retiring" is slumped in his chair dead, wine glass dangling from his fingers.
He taught me English. I loved his shows on Nickelodeon when I saw it in Spanish, and then loved it when I had learned English too. Sometimes the only parts of him of SNL.
🎉😂🎉
How can you not like this guy?! He's amazing!
Hoda trying to scoop the dirt. He is simply awesome and deserves respect.
Why won't she let him talk !!! 🙄 omfg
I said the same
She sure doesn’t like to let him talk. Good lord let him finish a sentence.
Let him speak!!!!
This guy is such a genuine nice man, I saw him in a museum and he literally offered to go outside with me to take a picture because museum security said no pics in the museum.
That's pretty crazy. I've been watching this guy my entire life and I looked up how old he is. He's only 5 years older than me.
Yes, he is. I met him and Kel this past summer when they filmed Goodburger 2 in my hometown in R.I. They both were generous with their time after filming to take pics with everyone.
@@rena9934There was a Good Burger 2?!
@@AnthonyErtl YES, it's currently on Paramount +
@@AnthonyErtl YES, it's currently on Paramount +
I grew up on All That, Kenan & Kel, and Good Burger.. They're a bondage to our childhood!
This man doesn’t age. I’ve grown up watching him and I swear since he hit SNL he just stopped aging!
Getting that adrelinchrome
@@lafondawilliams It is too bad we'll never really know what goes on with the "elites"
it's common these days, people are aging better. It seems like a lot of people age in subtle ways now, like they look like they did in their 20's/30's but tired. Kenan just has the bags under the eyes but otherwise basically the same.
She literally isn’t allowed to him to speak. Would love to see him on another platform being interviewed!
Keenan makes me laugh out loud every time he’s in a sketch. I hope he’s SNLs first octogenarian cast member. Love that dude!
probably won't. he's already expressed that he wanted to leave a few years ago. also, it is rumored that lourne will quit next year and that either seth myers, tina fey or kenan is up in the running to replace him
@@kidrobot. He won't leave. You notice most snl cast leaves the show to be independent. Kenan won't leave because snl is a security job
One of the greats to be on SNL
@@juanboss560The man is worth so much money. He doesn't need security.
@@MisterUrbanWorldif he doesn't need security, why won't he quit? He's been there for 20 years and is still just a cast member.
Can she let him talk?! Omg

she asked if being short bothered him when he was little. He said he grew taller and isn't short anymore.
This is definitely Kenan's year
Take a drink every time Hoda interrupts/cuts him off.
My liver couldn’t handle it.
Hoda would not let him speak. It was like she was rushing the interview.
3:11 you know Kenan was thinking “ Do you ever shut up?”
God bless Kenan for sticking up with the interviewer after she keot interrupting answers to her questions. Takes a truly good soul to sit through that and lose a million and be so chill!
Love Kenan. Always thought of him as a role model since Mighty Ducks. Guy is so humble and deserves the world.
I love when he says his kids are his daily focus, "outside of myself". That was pure SNL gold.
I just watched a video of a guest going off on Hoda for over talking them…I now see why he went off
link?
Link pls
Kenan is no drama just hugs and laughs. He still looks 20 years old
I wish she would stop cutting him off and let him finish
It's great to hear that he and Kel have made amends and are back making people laugh again 🙂
True gem of a human being, respect.
Being born mid 90s. I've been watching Kenan my whole life.
Kenan is so professional. It's so great to see him advance his career and be so successful!
Kenan literally looks the same when he was a teenager ❤❤❤ .love me sum Kenan
I always loved Keenan. He is such a genuine and funny soul. His SNL scared straight made me laugh soooo much when he grabs one of the guys and says,“Boy, you better shut your mouth.” 😂
Why did Hoda keep talking over him? Let the man talk!
she cuts him off and answers his question for him, shes gotta chill
Wow! Can't stand when interviewers interrupt the guest who is trying to answer a question. She was just annoying.
Ohhhhhhhhhhh my god !!! She asks the questions......Let him answer,,,,,shhhhhhhhhhh a bit !!!!
Every character Kenan does is smiling, even when he's not supposed to be.
It may be different for females because if I have a fallout with someone (I actually don't have any current fallouts) but when they have happened and time goes by, I still do remember why.
Ask one question and then listen Hoda.
Allow people to tell their story.
Hoda interrupting Kenan
Kenan has been doing sketch comedy all his life. He’s jus so good at it
There's no Kenan without kel, and there's no kel without Kenan. Glad they made it up! :))
Wow, I had no idea Keenan was 45. His skin looks at least 10 years younger than that
I worked with Kenan at Nickelodeon in the 90's. Great kid.
Did Kenan come on to talk, or did @TODAY have him come on to talk over him??
Can we get a redo on this interview that doesn’t involve Hoda talking over Kenan?
This is one of the coolest and most down to earth brothers in Hollywood!
RESPECT! ✊🏾
This is one of the greatest falling out reunions. They both came back and gave us Good Burger 2
I’ve loved him my whole life! I’m glad his success hasn’t wavered!
I’ll be looking for this book!
Never heard her do an interview like this. Definitely started off rough 😩

This lady is trying so hard to bait him in starting drama, but he stays super calm. Respect man

Pretty much all of my favorite SNL clips from the last several years all involve him ....he can just crack me right up.
Can she let him talk jesus
Sweet daughters! He seems so genuine-my children and I grew up watching him and the Kel-and the other funny cast members.
Salute To Kenan💯👍
very underrated comedian
What a gracious person! I look forward to seeing him on SNL for years to come!
I always make Kenan Thompson laugh!
He’s just chill people. He’s not annoyed and she’s not talking over him, it’s a healthy dialogue. He’s relaxed and not defensive, maybe guarded but who isn’t?! He works SNL, maybe he isn’t a morning person.
i love kenan thompson

Honestly he seems either kind of shy in this interview or tired lol but his energy was low
I like how she said that they were fighting. He never said that. 😑
Hey Hoda, you think maybe you can shutdaduckup and let the man finish what he's saying before you constantly interrupt him!!!! Get off the coke, Hoda

soon as I seeeen fall out I CLICKED LOL.. I think we alll wanted to know what happened :')
