Kenan started on SNL when I was a sophomore in highschool. I'm 36 now. He was on SNL with Tina Fey, Jimmy Fallon, Ammy Poehler, Horatio Sanz, Maya Rudolph, Fred Armison, and Will Forte. He was on SNL BEFORE Parks and Rec. He was on SNL before any streaming service. Darrel Hammond had the second longest run on SNL with 14 years. Kenan has been with SNL for 22 years. His SNL career can legally drink. He started in 2003.
