The Time I Met Kenan Thompson
Hey! Finally getting around to it!
So the other week, Kenan came to my school for an interview, so ofc i flipped tf out and was overly excited and went.
Here are some of the best things that happened:
--I got to ask Kenan a question! I asked what the weirdest thing to happen late night at SNL has been, and he said it was when they came up with the idea for Reba! It was originally supposed to be a PSA by Reba for bald eagle awareness where she’d just be bringing up her love for bald eagles in random situations, but then “Samberg and those guys” came up with this other idea that played a lot better and was just off the walls. Then he added, “bless Samberg and those dudes”
--THE INTERVIEWER WAS A SECOND COUSIN OF KELLYANNE CONWAY AND WAS SUPER EMBARRASSED IT WAS GREAT
--Apparently, when Trump hosted, Kenan said he would go around to all the female cast members and ask if they liked shoes because he’d hook them up with his daughter Ivanka’s shoe line “She has great shoes”
--He said Phil Hartman and Will Ferrell were probably the best cast members of all time.
--Someone asked if he’s ever want to guest-star on B99 and he said he’d love to! The schedules are just hard to sync up (but I’m keeping my fingers crossed!)
--Lorne once gave a $100 bill to a homeless person on the street without even a blink. Kenan added, “mind you, that’s all he had” lolol
After the interview, I stayed out back to meet him (which weirdly no one else did) and I briefly got to talk to him and tell him I loved “What Up With That”. He was so freaking incredibly sweet!!
