SNL Stories with Seth Meyers, Fred Armisen & Kenan Thompson

[@tidypeaches]

I like that Neil basically interrupts Seth to then tell a story about Seth, as Seth, to Seth.

[@TheKrazysexykool]

Exactly like that. Like Seth was going to get a story about Seth wrong

[@commaJim]

Seth and Neal being such good friends makes me oddly comforted.

[@Amy-kr4tc]

Kenan makes sketches hilarious with just a small smirk or smile… it’s a type of comedy genius that’s so rare. I’ve been following him since Nickelodeon. He’s had it from the beginning - a natural.

[@DM0407]

He taught me French.

[@jkap34]

Kenan is the GOAT when it comes to SNL. He's the longest running cast member, he always delivers, and his ability to lift everyone else around him in sketches is ridiculously good. Yes, there have been greats, John Belushi, Chris Farley, Eddie Murphy, will Ferrell, but out of all of them, who has the most sketches, the most characters, and the only person I see replacing Lorne when he eventually dies at his desk after the 86th snl season IS Kenan Thompson.

[@DFedak]

I was at the filming of the Kenan and Kel bagging competition episode - easily one of the best episodes of that show. Kenan going from that to the longest tenured SNL cast member of all time (nobody touches his ongoing record since he just wants to do sketch comedy, it's not a stepping stone for him) has been a trip

[@bertrach]

Neil and Seth seem to be having two slightly different conversations at each other.

[@edwardboyd3660]

I thought you'd never let Seth finish his dance sketch story.

[@porcelina_zero]

I for real got stressed out at that part

[@LisaLisa001]

I'm over here having multiple eargasms. How in the world did I not know about this? This is the best hidden treasure I've ever found!

[@NappiMusicVideos]

This felt like a free master class. I appreciate both of you guys so much. I enjoyed this so much.

[@DNTXPCTMCH]

I love how Seth looks at his phone 😂❤ so comfortable with each other. Thank you for these conversations.

"Have a cop show up, everyone laughs, freeze frame." The Monty Python approach to ending a sketch.

[@sampicano]

Kids in the Hall it...abruptly end mid sketch. I still prefer KITH over SNL...maybe they are overthinking it.

[@cc1k435]

​@@sampicanoI have always seen them as very different things, even with the same producer. Just was a different vibe. ❤

[@jkap34]

​​​ snl is more political given the current environment. I've never seen kids in the hall, but your description reminds me of old lonely island videos or bo Burnham vines. For example: Hot Rod. Produced and directed by the lonely island, starring most of the lonely island. They have a lot of those random cuts and completely impromptu lines, such as "I GO TO CHURCH EVERY GOD DAMN SUNDAY, YOU GONNA BRING THE DEMONS OUT OF ME?!" "I'VE BEEN DRINKING GREEN TEA ALL GOD DAMN DAY" and my personal favorite interaction: Rod, quietly, "you look pretty..." Denise, "what did you just say, Rod?" Rod, "I SAID YOU LOOK SHITTY, GOOD NIGHT DENISE!" *sprints away* Oh shit, can't forget the scene of will Arnett in the sports convertible hanging over the side shouting "BABE!" over and over again and they cut to the next scene in the middle of the word.

[@sampicano]

@@jkap34 " I've never seen kids in the hall, but your description reminds me of old lonely island videos or bo Burnham vines." Nothing like that. Literally...nothing like that. More reminiscent of SNL in the early 90s, in living color, or...maybe SCTV. Hot Rod is nothing like SNL and nothing like KITH...but it is one of the funniest movies I've ever seen in my life. That and McGruber.

[@mrgabgutierrez]

His podcast is called Blocks because its about how to block the progress of any conversation and make it about how much you know and how many people you kinda know a little

[@jonceramic]

The only reason I can tolerate it is cause I like Neal. But, yeah, let the question hang some time...

[@Ephesians-yn8ux]

That makes sense, I thought it was Blacks

[@kierstenridgway4634]

The coolest part of it is that it's voluntary to watch.

[@michaelrafales2782]

Armisen is and will be one of the funniest, talented humans of all time

New follower, but I've been a fan of Neil for years. I was so glad to find out Neil is friends with so many people I respect ❤😂

[@6six6strings63]

7:34 in and I gotta go-the interruptions have ruined this for me.

[@danaclifford8657]

Same. I wanted to watch this so bad, but his interruptions were driving me insane

[@within360]

I don't think I will ever see a comedy sketch artist as talented as Kenan.

[@kid.forever]

amen, love him so much

[@l0zz1em0zzi3]

the interruptions are so frustrating 😭

[@spherejester]

when you getting "I've never spent a minute with" Heidecker on?

[@robbieracer3294]

Kenan is keeping SNL going...i honestly cant believe its lasted for the past 3-4 years....not sure what happened, just most sketches are bombs these days

[@THEIDLESHOW]

Great show as always! I’m a total Neal fan/groupie. He’s underrated.

[@gingerhitzke9185]

More compilations, please.

[@peterwhitman5575]

Great deep cut interview, unlike network talk shows which can be very surface and benign drivel, Neal ask things I didn't even think of asking but think that was so interesting or head scratching, I'm so glad I found his channel and subscribed. Keep up the amazing work

[@junghunt8645]

I always stop and ask myself, “What would Seth Myers do?”

[@dvdly]

The cops arrive: Aaaand scene, everybody!

[@FatNorthernBigot]

It's Ian Rubbish!!! Hey, Mrs Thatcher you're alright!!!!

[@kierstenridgway4634]

Keenan is deep!! Who knew? Not me. ❤❤✌️

[@ddavidjeremy]

I can't stop watchin this shit.

[@teresasavi8821]

The biggest block here is Brennan continually cutting off his guests mid-thought. Neal cut Seth off at least 7 times right at a critical point.. Neal wants to hear himself talk. He says blocks but he wants to say something else

[@FFmaxxx]

At first i thought it was an ego thing then i realized he had really bad adhd or possibly autism. Because he is responding to something the first says, they say something that triggered q memory or thought in neils head and he has to get it out. Ive seen this alot with neurodivergent people including myself but i try to hold on to the thought hard so i dont lose it by the time they are done talking.

[@teresasavi8821]

@@FFmaxxx to a certain degree, everyone feels this way. We all have to remain engaged enough to understand that the obvious trajectory of our conversation will involve whatever it is we are reminded of. Have a small pad to write one word that will prompt the memory and share once the natural course of the conversation allows. I dunno.. it works for Neal.

[@FFmaxxx]

@teresasavi8821 oh thats good thank you.

[@LateNightwithStudBuyers]

​@@teresasavi8821that's a good idea, maybe Neal could use it, and would then allow the guest to finish what they're saying without getting thought-blocked

[@teresasavi8821]

@@LateNightwithStudBuyers Thought blocking (😆) is exactly what is going on here.

[@cirquemedia]

Who's the SNL host that keeps making everyone cry?!? Inquiring minds want to know. #Hanks

[@prestonbane4176]

Seth looks awesome since he lost his eyebrows and 3 inches of hairline. Really makes his Klingon heritage pop out 😂😂

[@carmencampbell2645]

Are you serious with the Starbucks placement?

[@jmp01a24]

18:00 name one bit where he was funny please. I can't honestly remember one where he made me laugh. And I have laughed of Seth & Fred so many times it's LOL funny. Fred can make me laugh by not saying anything funny, but just looking at him.

[@coldsuncrowfeet]

Shut up

[@railroadbill5879]

Or the Pythonesque no ending

[@mattosborne1366]

Love everything about this channel...except the end when Neal says " did ya like that over and over" I fucking hate that part; very annoying tone, repetition, cutting all over the screen..it's so bad and amateur. Is that irony cause, no: I don't like that. (But I love the show, don't misunderstand)

[@TheyStillCallMeRicky]

Kenan has produced MORE funny content than anyone, on SNL He's a little bit more GOATY than Phil Hartman

[@pesky-media]

I wanted to hear Seths story without getting interrupted every few seconds by a boring maroon

[@godamidiot]

Can't for your interview with Myers where you do everything better...

[@miyadonelly8286]

who are you

[@leatherchopper]

Why would anyone try to talk to this guy?

[@weatheredtome]

Supremely boring stories and Neal won't shut up long enough for anyone to get stories going

[@PBL19999]

Why Are They Talking So Slowly

[@STRAIGHTEDGEJAKE]

Last

[@Wraith983]

First

[@JammastaJ23]

Wow he is a horrible interviewer omg.

[@adityabanerji6358]

I’ll never understand why Kel Mitchell was passed over for Kenan Thompson. Still a travesty to this day.

[@salwood]

he's spoken of bombing his showcase interview pretty badly. i love kenan and am glad he's still there. It would have been cool seeing Kel shine but I dont think he would have the longevity.

[@TheMonroemomma]

Martin short is the funniest person?? NFW. The two gentlemen pictured here are by far funnier than he has ever been. Martin short is nothing more than schtick. I can't stand him, and I absolutely love comedy and comedians. I grew up on Jerry Lewis, and Martin short makes me embarrassed whenever I see him do his "thing"

[@sampicano]

How is Keenan Thompson allowed to be anywhere near a comedy room....don't you have to be funny? Well I guess it is SNL...so maybe you just have to fill a quota.

[@sampicano]

Chappelle would be great on SNL because he's black and he's not funny anymore.

[@sampicano]

He's basically in a position where he cannot fail. The one black kid on nickelodeon?

[@sampicano]

@@a19875-d 1) SNL is unfunny as of 2024 2) SNL is only for diversity hires what's wrong with you?

[@sampicano]

@@andrew66862 I agree he is a C. He clearly wants to be there? I don't feel that way. I feel like he is stale. He is the Simpsons...lazy, unfunny, tired, boring comedy. That's not hard to beat? ACTUAL comedians exist.... Keenan is what's wrong with comedy.
