[@daniellemhall1358]

It doesn't feel like twenty years. Love him so much.

[@louisanelson7948]

Kenan’s impression of Steve Harvey always makes me giggle.

[@johnhilder]

Between "All That", "Keenan and Kel", "Good Burger" and SNL this guy has been been making me laugh for 30 years. He's like the Simpsons, only he still makes me laugh.

[@christineparis5607]

😂😂😂

[@jeffreylindahl5895]

Love Keenan Thompson. I followed his entire career. I can't believe he has been on SNL for 20 years.

[@andrewgrove1691]

Agree

[@amandageyman8033]

Same! Had to count how long ago it was that I watched him on All That, now I feel old lol. He's always been my favorite on every cast he works with. He's just damn funny!

[@jeffreylindahl5895]

@@amandageyman8033 So do I.

[@thatbee3585]

I always love when kenan host parody talk shows . Love when Kenan parodies Steve Harvey.

[@julieta8683]

My favorite Kenan Thompson moment has to be when he plays Diondre Cole on What's Up With That and can't stop singing the theme song of his talk show 🤣💕🎶

[@christineparis5607]

That is something I never get tired of!!! I don't know why (I think it's because I grew up in the talk show bloated years of the 70s and 80s)! "What's up with THAT?" is so perfectly imitating some of the truly weird, late night shows I used to watch on very early cable were so surreal that I miss them. Does anyone remember Robert Tilton (the insane pastor who fleeced millions) putting his hand on the screen to heal "someone out there" with whatever he made up that moment! It came on the new BET Channel at 3 am and we were always up with our band friends, smoking pot and putting our hands on the crappy, black and white tv we had! Those were the great days when apparently, anything went!!

[@NickellaElla]

*Come Back Barack* is actually a really good song! 90’s KC & JoJo vibes all day!

[@Chantara27]

I literally grew up with Keenan. Going all the way back to when he was on D2: The Mighty Ducks. I will forever be a fan of his

[@art.of.verser]

Kenan's been a national treasure of SNL two decades, and going strong, I say this is a very riveting milestone for him. 🎉🎉🎉 All That and Kenan and Kel? That was just the start of it all for his comedic light, wit and dramatics. But, What's Up with That? That tune has been living rent free in my head for a while too. 😂🤣

[@dabg623]

He is just so darn cute, and soooo talented

[@dlross173]

Best What's Up with That- when Robert De Niro and Robin Williams were on the show. Hilarious!

[@azizcammioneur7311]

"Uncomfortable silence..." lol.

[@abellewis3062]

I love Kenan Thompson! Enough said.

[@msqueenie9876]

The "PBS Roots of Rock" Sketch aka "Electric Shoes" is one of my favorite Kenan Thompson Sketches.

[@JazzyLnae]

Kenan is so talented!

[@SnazzyjazzBro]

Aaahh Kenan Tompsan, never change. The show may suck currently but he's always a delight to watch. Even if the sketch sucks.

[@thatbee3585]

Black jeapordy is Tom Hanks is one of my favorites

[@maggiejane2192]

He’s truly legendary ❤

[@LeeLee-cy7jk]

The dinner lobster schetch is one of the BEST

[@diamondl.5032]

Another one of my favorite skits he's ever done, would DEFINITELY be: "Black Jepordy with King T'chala/aka/Chadwick Boseman." I laughed so hard when King T'chala gave the greatest answer ever to the Question: "When your friend Karen brings HER potato salad to YOUR cookout." KT: "Oh Hell nah Karen! Keep you and your ''bland-a**-potato-salad'' to yourself!"

[@ThePsyberGiantess]

Favourite sketch actor since the 90s!

[@piercepatterson9274]

My favorite moment is when Kenan got the surprise that his friend Kel Mitchell showed up as a surprise for both him and the audience.

[@JRMagro]

Keenan playing the third migo in the "friendos" skit was Gold. As well as him hosting a spoof of "soul train".

[@LakeFX]

Still awaiting on Kel to make an SNL appearance.

[@krs4607]

I like the 'What Up With That?' with Mike Tyson.

[@feruzaabrorbek7584]

I love his musical scetches

[@JDoors]

a) 20 years? Wow! b) Always one of my favorite players. c) Love him enough I wish his movie career was more successful. d) Haven't watched SNL for years and from the "best of" clips here it looks like I haven't missed much.

[@jeffreyware6693]

How's your career?

[@floriantosoni2444]

I love the one at the ATM...hilarious

[@sharonjmartin1383]

Love Keenan ❤ What's UP With That,!!! Absolute favorite 😂 He is TOO FUNNY in that sketch!!!

[@buggyroberson8330]

Kenan's discount Halloween store is just like his "Everything's Sticky" store from All That...plus he is really good at playing old men even though he is his 40s.

[@istvangergelypalosi8795]

Number 10 and 2 the Best Top 10 Kenan and Kel Episodes

[@trentblackham]

“DeWhat is your favorite Kenan moment on SNL?” 👏👏👏 Forgotten TV Gems, “Whoops, I Married a Lesbian.” That sketch was 👌

[@jcover3993]

SCARED STRAIGHT !!! Kenan is a genius & an absolute gift 💜 and thankfully he’s proving he’s the smartest cast member ever.. by staying at the best gig ever !! Thank u Kenan (and Loren!) for SO many laughs 🪻 here’s to many more years ✌🏼 Namaste

[@benignuman]

Willie is my favorite Kenan character. Always hilarious.

[@101shadeira]

What’s up with that, black jeopardy, family feud 😂

[@johntumahab323]

Fun Fact: Kenan Thompson is the only current member of SNL to have done a sketch with Chris Farley. It just wasn't on SNL...it was when he was a kid doing "All That".

[@MyDoppleganger20]

Do an "snl kid smartz" search. Keenan is hilarious. My favorite skit by far

[@keren.icehand]

Kenan is AWESOME😂💜👍

[@calcham1]

Lorenzo MacIntosh, the inmate who does the "Scared Straight" routine to intimidate youngsters, but always ends up repeating plot lines of movies, will ALWAYS crack me up. And the guest stars - Betty White, Taylor Swift, Zach Galifinackis, etc. were hysterical. I'm shocked that wasn't number 1.

[@angiescott9692]

The Gayle King/RKelly sketch is my favorite. Just call me victim!!!

[@katierivers4036]

I was waiting for that to show up on the list!!

[@angiescott9692]

@@katierivers4036 so was I!!!

[@marymakin6488]

He’s the best!

[@Skoolhottie06]

I only watch snl for kenan. And I've been watching him since ALL THAT

[@angelasaunders3558]

This man is brilliant 👏🏽 👌🏽 🙌 🤣

[@corbinowens2437]

#20 & 19 are some of my favs

[@colonelradec5956]

does that make me rehabilitated, yes it does 🤣

[@MrTresBN]

Sump'n Clause is one of my favorites. D'Andre #2, Willie is probably #3, Lavar #4, and the office perv (Herb I think) and the Scared Straight prisoner are tied for 5th. Keenan is Classic

[@nacho_ncam]

LaDingo will dunk on you and steal your baby😂😂

[@djlauren3577]

My favorite is Black Jeopardy

[@michaelfritz5816]

Kenan, started on All That. Back in the 90s.

[@diamondl.5032]

My 2 favorites he's done so far are: 1. The: ''What's Up With That?!" Game show host. 2. The B!ll Co$3y Cameos.

[@101shadeira]

He’s an legend 😂

[@annafowdy]

That's a lot of seasons.

[@Jubilee3011]

Family Feud, Black Jeopardy and Diner Lobster

[@laotanlawal5025]

McIntyre the prisoner in the scared straight program is one of my favorites...not sure why it wasn't on the list...

[@MsColetha]

Fab!!!!

[@judycrawford1814]

King Kenan! 🤟🏻

[@jamiesoltes3938]

I like him as the bartender in kate McKinnon's nasty last call sketches

[@TonyEliasPharmD]

In my top 3 is definitely when he has the house band in the hotels always getting involved in one of the band member’s personal lives. His name was Latrice?!

[@freddiemolinajr.8397]

great video

[@jimb.7523]

Even though I don't really watch SNL at all now, I do love and appreciate Kenan since "All That" way back in the 90s.

[@MACsDaddyNotYours]

25:50 American Dad brings this up You watch SNL even tho you know it's no good but when Keenan does what's up wit dat it makes it all worth it I'm paraphrasing of course 👍

[@crystalshaw8744]

"That cost money ". Lmbo

[@psychosid10]

Before I even watch this I just want to say that the R. Kelly interview and the O.J. Simpson date sketches should be 1 & 2.

[@melissagrant4178]

You could do a top 10 Angela Lansbury moment, it would be a good way to remember her

[@JumboMutumbo]

Mine are the Lavar Ball sketches.

[@mojosong]

What up with that??? I watched the whole thing for it. Thank you!

[@gwynwellliver4489]

Thanksgiving is first!!

[@joehova1337]

list is also missing the R Kelly interview

[@averyspottswood9255]

Parole Board should have been number 1

[@Floymin]

He's been on SNL for 20 seasons? Does that mean he was picked up immediately after finishing Kenan and Kel?

[@Vampiricspektor2]

im proud of kenan thompson...he's lost alot of weight post covid-19, its sad that he's got Type 2 diabetes though and now he's gotta lose the weight to control his A1C -.-

[@shawnuel]

It's hard to pick only 20 because he is so remarkably consistent. And lacks much range.

[@brianadams429]

Black jeapardy

[@yadielenielbellecolon982]

🤩👍

[@nattanquintania6108]

Tiger woods

[@kylewalsh4525]

Clearly you’ve never seen Shawshank Redemption before. This has to be a dry run for AI content countdown videos or something, very strange. You’d love Red.

[@KingCorsoFox]

09:00 Just ask Kenan's ex-wife. Chris was just wrong.

[@joehova1337]

This list is missing sexual harrashment charlie with james franco. One of his best, especially when kenan and beck laughin at the end.....girl dont you hurt nobody wit that thang

[@kylewalsh4525]

I’ve gotta be honest. Not trying to be a jerk. This dude has never made me laugh out loud. Literally.

[@klakalakin8017]

please don't explain the context of every clip, that somehow makes SNL less funny and Keenan is the best

[@zeokingsilver]

WWWWWHHHHYYYY was never so funny aas when he said it

[@pacertsmith3886]

To much talking..just let us watch the clips

[@simplesitysista]

Ikr....make it unwatchable 🙄

[@rhianhegarty3383]

What you with that... and all musical "food and other " skits

[@millertime3864]

Shut up and show the sketches.

[@ricebunnymoon4624]

No he’s not that funny

[@AwakenedFaith]
