    I doubt he'll remember me but I met Kenan at a old Nickelodeon thing in Washington DC, in the 90s. He had his back turned and when he saw me he gave me a handshake and hug but I couldn't say ANYTHING to him, lol. My dad was like "Go ahead Joe, say something!". I wash speechless cuz i watched him and Kel on All That and their own show and to see this man face to face, i couldnt handle it.
    And now that i look at his age, he was only 8 years older than me. Crazy.
    Kel was cool too, playing with slime and jamming with the kids.
    Lori Beth Dinberg was there also, playing with the kids too and signing autographs. What a time to be a kid.

    What's surprised/interested me so much about Kenan after learning more about him is his balance.
    From what I can tell from his interviews and podcast spots is that he is introverted but connected to the outgoing/goofy part of him and you see it in his characters.
    Comedic acting requires so much intelligence and intuition that it's obvious he's got an ample supply of both of those traits.

    I love how I grew up with Kenan but only in the last couple years have I gotten a feel for who he is as a person. Never forget this is the man who went on Hotboxin with Mike Tyson, had a disagreement on a topic with Mike and didn't flinch or change his stance at all when Mike got riled up in that way he does. In contrast certain "gangstas" like Boosie went on there and absolutely crumbled under Mikes scrutiny.
