This man is absolutely brilliant. Anything he does is hysterical. His facial expressions alone are comedy gold! This man should have multiple Emmys at this point. Without a doubt a SNL legend. I love him so much. 🧡
@Phoenix I hope that he can save his own sitcom. I’m sorry but it’s BORING as 🤬! But I suspect that it’s not Kenan’s fault. It’s probably because of the executives and writers. They should’ve set it up like the old Martin sitcom so Kenan could play as some funny characters like he does in his SNL skits. Instead, they cast him like the straight man without much humor. It’s like Tyler Perry without the Mudear character…. BORING 🥱💤!! And except for his costar from SNL, most of the supporting cast is weak. Martin had a great supporting cast with good chemistry and comedy timing! The network just used Kenan’s name for ratings and wasted his talent! I’m hoping that he can get a better TV show in the future or a bigger break (than the Fat Albert movie), in Hollywood.⭐️🎬
@@I-speak-U-shut-it the Kenan show was a sitcom about a widowed father of 2 little girls. His character was the host of a show in Atlanta. NBC cancelled it in 2022 after 2 seasons.
I'm 51 and seen a lot of SNL but Kenan is my all time favorite. His facial expressions are the best. Especially when he makes that shocked look with his eyes.
I love Keenan and he's beeen my favorite since he debuted. He can carry any "role" while making me laugh myself sick. "What's up with that" is timeless.
The Al Sharpton clips are low key savage, because al sharpton has a show on MSNBC, which is also owned by NBC which airs SNL. So basically Al Sharpton’s employer is making fun of him on a regular basis
Resurgence? First off, SNL is not having a resurgence, and even if you COULD make the argument that SNL is having a resurgence how could you contribute it to Keenan? He’s the longest running cast member in the history of the show. He’s been on for 19yrs at this point, so if he’s so great and the reason for the resurgence why didn’t the resurgence happen sooner? SNL is at its worst in history, they’ve gone waaay too far in the left wing politically correct direction and that’s bad for comedy
I'm sure someone's already said this, but my goodness, an SNL Best of Kenan Thompson bluray compilation would be like nine volumes at this point. Both because of quality AND quantity.
Thank you, The People's Laxative - may I call you Lax? - thank you for this video. My dad was friends with an editor. Don't know his name. One of his first editing jobs was on the show, Lassie. The dog actor was a male, and my dad's friend's job was to make sure you never knew Lassie was played by a male. Tht you might enjoy that. Anyway, your editing of this video was really good. No 🍆 allowed on Lassie! LOL
The black boy hugging the white policeman was named Devonte Hart. Devonte's natural mother's name is Sherry Davis, but she lost custody of him and his two younger siblings. Devonte was likely forced to pose for that picture by his narcissistic, abusive adoptive parents. His adoptive parents forced him and his five siblings (two were his blood siblings) to pose for facebook pictures and present themselves at festivals as a blended multicultural, vegetarian, LGBT family (the adoptive parents were two white lesbian women). In reality, the children were beaten and starved to the point of stunted growth (a teenager would look like a preteen, a 6-year old would look like a toddler). Devonte tried to get his siblings help many times, including asking neighbors for food and trying to form an escape plan. When his adoptive parents could no longer cover up the abuse from authorities, the two women murdered the six children in a murder-suicide.
@@GrimyGrafhic sadly many over look the straight man in comedy. One of the things that makes Kenan so good is he's able to play both the straight man and the more off the wall comedic character.
Yes I believe so. Him and his siblings were killed by his adoptive parents. He should be 12 in that photo and in the middle of the abuse. Got nauseous when I saw that. Devonte Hart 💔
Keenan really is the only reason i still watch the show in 00s he never really had his time to shine being outshined by the other cast members Will farrel jimmy fallon Tina fey amy poler tracy Morgan .
So I saw this in my recommendation at like 2 o’clock in the morning and I legit thought it said “Karen Thompson” and I was like “who the hell is karen” and then I realized it said kenan.
WOW!~~ That's rarified air your talking --- I'll give you a A-M-E-h But he's great no matter what and was the only reason I would check in on SNL in recent times.
Bats For Bats🦇 I'm so weak love Keenan he is one of my favorite comedians ever he can do no wrong he knows when to steal the show and when to fall back never a show boater or show off always a team player.....
Keenan & Kel used to be my favorite show for a reason, Keenans just special. The same reason I was a huge WWF Rock fan growing up, some people you can just tell their gonna be Superstars.
Has been for a very long time. I've followed his career since Nickelodeon when my daughter was little..I'D be the one who wanted to watch "Kenan and Kel' whether baby girl did or not!
I remember when he was on “All That” and I would love if he did “Ishboo”, “Miss Piddlin’” the cafeteria lady, “LaNisha” from The Inconvenient Store, would love to see that
He’s great, but he is not carrying SNL. They have a few excellent cast members. Cecile Strong, Kate McKinnon, Chris Redd, Heidi Gardner, Chloe Fineman, Ego Nwodim, Mikey Day and Alex Moffat to name a few.
He'll do this tiny little smile instead of fully breaking and going on with the sketch and that makes me so happy
He's been doing this style of comedy since he was a kid. He's well seasoned!
Don't know if you have ever seen the shows kennan and kel or all that..but he literally has not changed in almost 30 years
@@terri3486 not sure what your point there was. Whether he's the same or not it's working for him. Not sure of the point you were trying to make

And Santa would not be able to get his sleigh cleared for takeoff from Hartsfield-Jackson, much less on Christmas Eve

His David Ortiz is my personal favorite 😂

Every bit of my feelings. I love him!
I try to wrap my mind around how brilliant he is I have no clue 😂💕
Kenan can make/save any sketch. It's been proven.

I've been a Keenan fan since the old Nickelodeon days. What an amazing talent!
I remenber learning French from Pierre Escargot... good times!
Keenan and kel hell yah
Yes!!!
He really has been doing this his whole life, an actual National Treasure 😭💜
can u believe we all survived the late 1900s? 🦁🐯🐻😝
First Date: “For some reason they gave me a plastic knife.” Priceless.
I'm 51 and seen a lot of SNL but Kenan is my all time favorite. His facial expressions are the best. Especially when he makes that shocked look with his eyes.
He is the LONGEST running cast member. His new sitcom, Kenan, is witty, funny, diverse, and all that
I am so happy for his continued success. He deserves it!🥰
I agree. He deserves it! I mean you can look at him and tell he's such a good individual also.....
*you suffer from deppresion? dOn’T*
this made me really laugh! and i’ve ‘got’ depression! probably that’s why it’s such a funny joke to me. LOL😛
Sounds like my therapist!
🤣
@@gabrielmaroto18 HA!!! U need a new therapist! 😂
@@AirForceFalcons_9922 IKR!
If Kenan is in a sketch, I'll watch it every time. I hope he never leaves.
The trump and Kenye is Gold!
The fact we got through this with no scared straight clips
Or What Up With That?!
CRIMINAL!
I don't recall seeing "I Will Beat Your Ass" at Barnes and Nobles 🤣
And they didn't even include What Up With That?! Comic genius!
It needs its own segment. Subsegment Lindsey Buckingham apologies
My dad would reference it all the time when I was a kid lol
Or “Black Jeopardy!”
The celebrity guests and the dancers 👌
WHATUPWITHTHAT!!!!
I don't know that I can live in the post-Keenan SNL world
*Kenan
WOW! KENAN LOOKS LIKE RERUN FROM "WHAT'S HAPPENING" WITH THAT BARET ON!
Not sure about that but hey you made me laugh!
He really has been doing this his whole life, an actual National Treasure 😭💜
You forgot his RKelly impression
It was INCROYABLE🤣
I love Keenan and he's beeen my favorite since he debuted. He can carry any "role" while making me laugh myself sick. "What's up with that" is timeless.

I love Keenan. He's great. The cast is also great.. the team is the cause of SNL resurgence
*Kenan
But it's not resurging. It's pretty much at an all time low.
Resurgence?
First off, SNL is not having a resurgence, and even if you COULD make the argument that SNL is having a resurgence how could you contribute it to Keenan? He’s the longest running cast member in the history of the show. He’s been on for 19yrs at this point, so if he’s so great and the reason for the resurgence why didn’t the resurgence happen sooner?
SNL is at its worst in history, they’ve gone waaay too far in the left wing politically correct direction and that’s bad for comedy
He is the main reason why I still watch snl on occasion. He is a hilarious man.
I love this. . . Takes me back to the Nickelodeon show days.
Kenan is a fine-looking woman.
Definitely
Ever since the Miss Piddlin days lol
What a jewel! So very, very, funny! Love him
I've always loved this guy ! He's one of the most talented ever ! Always look for his sketches. He's also so darn likable !
"For some reason they gave me a plastic knife". Hahaha!!!!!
Shoulda got the Emmy 🤐💀
he's terrific. still like most of update segment but whatever kenan does, and mckinnon too--- incredibly talented, do it all!
He definitely got better, in the mid 2000s he was hit or miss then early 2010s he finally hit his stride he’s been good ever since.
OMG he’s a beautiful and distinguished older lady! I never knew he could do so many impressions so well.
I’m really surprised they didn’t put in the Shawshank Redemption sketch cuz that never fails to make me 😂😂😂😂😂
I agree. Keenan is supreme. Watching this, I laughed so much at every sketch!
*Kenan
I still watch the Best of Eddie Murphy on SNL. They need to make one for Keenan. I love his sitcom too.
*Kenan
This video should’ve been about four hours long!
If you're suffering from depression... DON'T!!
No Charlie? "I did a little dance... told you not to hurt nobody with that thang!"

What have you done I've never laughed this hard in my entire life
Thank you 💓
Love Keenan. Hilarious.
Kenan is a legend
His steve harvey is so damn amazing. SNL is lucky to have kenan!
Omg... His Lavar Ball and OJ killed me! 🤣🤣🤣 Every single one of these was funny af!
NGL he really did carry SNL.😂😂
Thank You, Thank You, 😊 Keep it Coming. People Really Need A Show, Like S. N. L. More So Because This is The Best. @This Time!!!
Black Jeopardy
I have to agree, especially his "What's up with that," and "Family Feud" episodes

Love everything he does🥰
How are there no clips from Black Jeopardy in here?
I think it’s because he plays the straight man for the most part.
@@GrimyGrafhic sadly many over look the straight man in comedy. One of the things that makes Kenan so good is he's able to play both the straight man and the more off the wall comedic character.
That’s what I Said!
@@goldenbrowngod You have to admit. He was even funny as a Straight Man! Such is his genius.
Been a fan since All That days
"according to Pubis.. excuse me p.b.s" 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
3:35 wasn’t that kid killed by his adoptive parents?
Yes I believe so. Him and his siblings were killed by his adoptive parents. He should be 12 in that photo and in the middle of the abuse. Got nauseous when I saw that. Devonte Hart 💔

Yet remains very humble. Class act.
LOL i love Kenan!!! Loved him way back on Nickelodeon too!
"DO YOU SUFFER FROM DEPRESSION?............. DON'T!!"

Kenan is SNL, I reckon if they aint got em they aint got much of a show I tell ya what.
1:52 😂
Great video, if only it ended with the Reba quote "Hanging like my nutz"

Great compilation!
I knew he was gonna be a big from the days of "All That"
Jean k Jean reminds me of Pierre Escargot from All That. 🥰
Kenan is the man! He be having be rolling!
I swear Kenan doesn't seem to Age. How is that possible with a wife & Kids?? LOL!!
He is a treasure.
He’s great, but he is not carrying SNL. They have a few excellent cast members. Cecile Strong, Kate McKinnon, Chris Redd, Heidi Gardner, Chloe Fineman, Ego Nwodim, Mikey Day and Alex Moffat to name a few.
Who is 'excellent' out of the names you listed? SNL has a history of SOME excellent players but I cannot see one in this list.
