Kenan Thompson


SNL mastermind Lorne Michaels is an executive producer of Saving Kenan, along with Thompson, writer Jackie Clarke (Superstore) and Andrew Singer. Universal Television is producing along with Michaels' Broadway Video.

Like Magic also comes from Superstore writers, Bridget Kyle and Vicky Luu. The workplace comedy follows an optimistic young woman chasing her dream of becoming a headlining magician in the eccentric, ego-driven world of the Magic Palace.

Along with Kyle and Luu, Matt Hubbard (30 Rock) is executive producing and will supervise the writing. Julie Anne Robinson will direct and exec produce; Kelly Pancho is also an executive producer. The show is from Universal TV and CannyLads.

Ahhhh here it goes!

Imagine if his new show is a Keenan and Kel show that's more adult oriented

So a fat Key and Peele?

 

[A Useless Fish]

Wait, this fat fuck's still alive? I figured he died of a heart attack as soon as his shitty Nickelodeon show ended.

If only people were as delighted with Hollywood as Hollywood is with itself, I'm sure this would be a smash hit.

Kenan Thompson is probably the unfunniest, cringiest SNL cast member ever and he’s been on the show like 15 years.

Aside from the female ghost busters, id agree with that.

 

[Admiral Mantoid]

Meh. I always liked Kel better.

 

[whatever I feel like]

Kenan Thompson is probably the unfunniest, cringiest SNL cast member ever and he’s been on the show like 15 years.

If true thats a shame, there was a point in time way back in the day where he was the only part of the show that was still worth watching.

There's nothing funny about pausing, staring at the camera and waiting for people to stop laughing and clapping.

 

[MasterDisaster]

Alright calling it now; he get's the show, the pilot barely passes and the first season is cancelled halfway through.

There's nothing funny about pausing, staring at the camera and waiting for people to stop laughing and clapping.

The only cast that was actually funny and still holds up were the Phil Hartman/Jon Lovitz/Dana Carvey era players who actually tried to avoid cracking up on camera and created memorable, likable characters.

I know people fondly remember the 70s era but go back and watch, almost everything besides Dan Aykroyd is dated and weak. I’m sure those guys were a blast to get coked out of your mind with at parties back then but man is a lot of it bad.

 

[Johnny Bravo]

Run run as fast as you can, Kenan, you will never escape Good Burger.

 

[The Shadow]

If it's not a workcom about William Baines Pimpell I'm not for it.

 

[Pozzingmyfilthyneghole]

Alright calling it now; he get's the show, the pilot barely passes and the first season is cancelled halfway through.

Isn’t that what happened to Bobby Moynihan?

 

[frozenrunner]

Is there anybody funny working at SNL anymore?

I adore Maria Villaseñor, but I wouldn't wish SNL on anybody's career at this point.

The “S” in SNL these days stands for “soy” and good luck getting through even a YouTube clip without cringing so hard your central nervous system shuts down.

I guess Michael Che is kinda funny as “stoned nigger reading the news.” Other than that, it’s just fat cunts and lesbians.
