Like, has the Kenan & Kel guy only been on SNL for like 30 years because he's black or something? Why hasn't he done a movie like all the other dudes?
Don't get me wrong, it's not a bad career choice but he's basically like an Accountant or Lawyer or works at the same firm for 30+ years but then gets old and retires.

im honestly not sure why he's still working on SNL by this point
Sketch comedy is his whole life. He's been in the game since he was, what, 10?
You'd think he'd be better at it by now
He was more successful in his teens than any of the modern SNL cast have been their entire lives
That's all you need to just cash in the cheques and make millions I guess. Better than our lives.
Those young kids working on SNL like Pete probably looked up to Kenan growing up. The dudes a legit sketch comedy legend in comparison when you think about it
Im 90% sure Chris Farleys death scared these people straight
Maybe he's content making $40k/week to do like 15hrs of work.
He probably saw Kel's career and decided not to risk it.
>basically like an Accountant or Lawyer or works at the same firm for 30+ years
yeah except he makes way more money. good on him if he just loves doing SNL
Except a lot of Accountants and Lawyers make equivalent or greater wages if they've been specializing and doing it for a while.
Any idea what Kenan's SNL contract would be per annum? I'm going to be very conservative and say $3/4/500,000.00 USD per year but maybe it's more?
he's supposedly the highest paid cast member, at around 1.5mil a season
Good gig, indeed. Well, good Agent at least (who probably has to do jackshit at this point).
no way he's only paid 500k lol
It's getting pretty awkward. No one has the balls to fire him and he just keeps making easy money kek.
I wonder if he's like all the other SNL sleezebags the ones who quit always talk about. Like stealing scripts and jokes and doing shit behind everyone's backs. I know they stole the toilet paper bear skit but I don't know if he's the one who "wrote" it
ESG seniority
He already had a show and did movies when he was younger, probably didnt like it
why doesn't he answer kel's texts
He's not good enough to break out of SNL.
He's not bad enough to get fired.
It's embarassing, but on the other hand it's probably a good gig.
he has another sitcom he's the star of and he executive produces a couple other shows
I've never heard of it so obviously it doesn't count
He's already done all the shit that most people leave SNL to do.
The ultimate background player
The best of black people is ignored and mediocre blacks are uplifted and piled on by industry whites. Regular whites mistakenly think these are the most talented black people. Same for good film vs. popular film. Same for good music vs. popular music. Kenan is still on SNL for the same reason that Big Brother is still on CBS.
Keenan sells ad space to Midwest midwits?
He’s admitted he’s a lazy pothead
>As a child, he was a fan of The Price Is Right, which he has called "my first love" and "very joyful viewing" that shaped his acting style.
he is perfect to take over price is right when drew carey dies
Awful actor. He's been doing this since he's been 15 and he still fricking sucks.
He was in Snakes on a Plane
Oh, shit, you're right. He had to fly the plane at the end because he played PS2 flight sims. Gotta watch that flick again
He's one of the only funny people left on SNL.
>the Kenan & Kel guy
I don't know a ton about the guy but I'd probably do the same thing really. What's he going to do try some late night show that won't work out and then what, be in a worse position.
SNL sucks, but it seems like a comfy gig.
