Mad lib theater should be done at least once a month , we want more ! It’s too funny

[@MrTStat]

the idea is good but without someone like Kenan it would not work as well

[@dashpaz]

@@MrTStat for me it was the last minute acting and break of character that made this. Loved it, different celebs would make for different humor.

[@Mohammad-ep1je]

Star he did pretty alright

[@cai0409]

Star In my opinion, Kenan is FAR from the best guest on this. John Cena was my favorite.

[@JayneAngelinaSkye]

exactlyyy idk why it isnt done often its literally hilariousssssss. i need at least once a week

A lot of guys got that punishment. Conan O’Brian and a guy he knows. Most of the impractical jokers also. They’ve all spoken on it randomly like just came up. For some of them that was a lesser punishment. All of them had either a grandmother, mother, or like nanny that was pretty brutal. For some reason if the person beating you isn’t drunk it’s called discipline regardless of severity.

[@ShaDHP23]

Fun fact, when Kenan was on SNL, the writers often wrote "Kenan reacts" for a lot of his scenes because they knew anything he would improvise would be funnier than anything they came up with. The man is a legend.
