Appearances
We Might Be Drunk
Ep 205: Kenan Thompson
And foot traffic-wise, it would always get a good audience for the show.
We Might Be Drunk
Ep 205: Kenan Thompson
He came back. That was a cool revisit. You know, he's always been close to the show. Like, I think he's hosted it the most, probably. Especially, like, he was a damn near cast member for four years, you know?
We Might Be Drunk
Ep 205: Kenan Thompson
He's a real one and just caught a bad hand. That whole shit situation was crazy. So to see him return and, like, that just is the power of the show. Like, the power of the show, like... reflect in society like that always offers an opportunity for someone to play someone.
We Might Be Drunk
Ep 205: Kenan Thompson
Yeah, Gaffigan sliding in. Dana Carvey's just back. Yeah. I'm murdering on a regular. Yeah. And hopping in and out of other sketches too. Like, just...
We Might Be Drunk
Ep 205: Kenan Thompson
tossed a jennifer coolidge in there that he didn't even have you know what i mean so he just learned it at the last minute this guy is like well he's been doing it for forever use him it's like having bo jackson that's what i'm saying you know like using my and andy and that castrato shit last week too was just like it's all so much fun it's the best
We Might Be Drunk
Ep 205: Kenan Thompson
But you guys, it's every week. It is. I feel like that. pressure cooker thing is like way heavier on the writers because writing and like doing comedy number one is the hardest thing ever but like formulating comedy has got to be one of the most insanely like torturous procedures ever And I thank God that I was an actor first. You know what I'm saying? I don't want that writer burden.
We Might Be Drunk
Ep 205: Kenan Thompson
I try to do as much as I can. But I'm never going to fake the funk and be like, no, I'm going to write by myself every week. And I'm just going to get really good at writing. Like, I don't have interest in torturing myself like that. But I respect them. That's why I try not to, like, tank sketches or, you know, giggle through things or you try to hold back the breaking of the fourth.
We Might Be Drunk
Ep 205: Kenan Thompson
You know, I try to laugh when I'm off camera or something. You know, just whatever I can do to kind of, like, ease the pain of the tension of being a writer at that place because it's got to be insanely, like, pressure-ish. Yeah.
We Might Be Drunk
Ep 205: Kenan Thompson
It really is. And, like, shout out to Emil because he finally, you know, got his update. He's been working on that for a couple weeks. But, you know, he finally got to do it.
We Might Be Drunk
Ep 205: Kenan Thompson
And what a crazy talk. I think he's the first – I mean, I don't know if he's the first one to, like, talk about, like, the Middle East issues. Oh, right. But, like –
We Might Be Drunk
Ep 205: Kenan Thompson
rami kind of yeah but like cast member wise i remember aristotle was somewhat doing that but he was doing more like characters like robots and shit like that he wasn't like talking about being like from lebanon you know yeah it's like a first for me to listen to so it's it's such a tough confusing we don't know what to do on either side if you're not from there kind of thing so to make a bit out of it that'll work on update which is like all jokes that shit had to be tough
We Might Be Drunk
Ep 205: Kenan Thompson
logic is so even if you're going for the joke you're getting that is my point i guess i mean there is no pleasing of everybody either you know what i'm saying so like yeah i mean i i try to tell them like just try to relax and do what you think is funny kind of thing but it's it's really hard you know i mean because they're really trying to feel well they're trying to check a bunch of boxes for people which is which is tough because there's always going to be somebody that was just like not funny right or like go home this shit is lame blah blah blah
We Might Be Drunk
Ep 205: Kenan Thompson
Yep. When everybody else, like 99% of people are just like, yeah, good effort. You know what I mean? It was pretty funny, blah, blah, blah. Or I loved it. Yeah. You know, just above the line kind of stuff. But there's always some pice of shit. Yep. They're out there. You know what I mean? It just wants to take shots, I guess.
We Might Be Drunk
Ep 205: Kenan Thompson
Yeah. Them exchanging jokes is probably one of the greatest bits that Data's ever had. That's the best. You know what I mean? It just really is one of those like... all right, let's break down these tension walls. Yes. About being so sensitive these days or whatever, even if it's only for 15 minutes at Christmas.
We Might Be Drunk
Ep 205: Kenan Thompson
And vice versa. Like when Che has to say something hyper racist too, it's just as great. Yeah. You know, it's just as great.
We Might Be Drunk
Ep 205: Kenan Thompson
You want that cheek. You want that cheek. Meadows, Vanessa, that's wild. Oh, what's her face? When did Vanessa have time to sit in the audience?
We Might Be Drunk
Ep 205: Kenan Thompson
that's all we had for it there wasn't a lot of ass play in the 90s i feel like it was very like it was taboo yes it was titillating look at that titillating oh my god get that under that laser yeah the main selling point of the trailer i think yeah i think so it got me we gotta go see this one moment when she's sneaking under the i don't even remember what the rest of the movie is about no one does
We Might Be Drunk
Ep 205: Kenan Thompson
Yeah, no, it gets flat immediately. Exactly, exactly. It's the arch at first. She's doing it blindfolded, yeah. Yeah. It's the arch at the back. It's the arch. And then pancake it.
We Might Be Drunk
Ep 205: Kenan Thompson
Beginning and end pretty solid. Middle is just a whole lot of tangle.
We Might Be Drunk
Ep 205: Kenan Thompson
Only once in the beginning where I didn't really understand my place there. Oh, yeah. Because I was coming from a working environment where I was a utilizable kind of tool, and then I went into a place where I was really low on the experience totem pole. Yeah.
We Might Be Drunk
Ep 205: Kenan Thompson
doing the show is one thing but like it's a show where people create the show you know what I mean like it's in their hands every single week like they're you know this core group of people has nothing there's no show you know what I'm saying it's not like they're just gonna like Hit the crew up and be like, y'all got any ideas this week? You know what I mean?
We Might Be Drunk
Ep 205: Kenan Thompson
Like that core group of people that they have on staff as writers and cast members build the show. And I didn't have that kind of experience. And I kept winding up. Donut it is what I like to call where you just have zero in the show kind of thing.
We Might Be Drunk
Ep 205: Kenan Thompson
They all did. I mean, like, not necessarily the, like, sit you down patience convo, but, like, when it was, like, work time, if people had an idea, they would come to you and be like, you know, let's work on this or let's work on that or let's write something next week or something like that. And then, like...
We Might Be Drunk
Ep 205: Kenan Thompson
Higgins was was great and Shoemaker was great at like kind of overseeing and pairing people like They paired me and Colin together and we shared an office for like eight years Wow, that was like very helpful.
We Might Be Drunk
Ep 205: Kenan Thompson
Yeah 21 years I mean that is yeah, it's crazy because I feel like I
We Might Be Drunk
Ep 205: Kenan Thompson
It's kind of crazy. A lot of people are... It's weird how comedy is usually before its time. Like, when it's really good, it's usually before its time. Like, it echoes for a while. Like, shit, that shit was solid. You know what I mean? Like, how long have we looked back on, like, Richard Pryor shit? Yeah. You know what I mean? For forever kind of shit. So...
We Might Be Drunk
Ep 205: Kenan Thompson
Yeah, it's weird how, like The Simpsons is always like way ahead of itself. That's true. You know, like when they're really sharp, they're like constantly predicting the future or whatever. Or it seems like shaping senses of humor for later on as opposed to like in the moment. Like the in the moment people have the sense of humor of the previous people. You know what I mean? Yes.
We Might Be Drunk
Ep 205: Kenan Thompson
It's one of my favorite things in the world. When we have a joke that we just know is going to work and it gets nothing. It's like, yo, what the fuck just happened? It makes me laugh every time. It'll kill a rehearsal and then... Yeah, it kills somewhere. That's how it wound up there. And then it's just like,
We Might Be Drunk
Ep 205: Kenan Thompson
In the room, it's crazy. And, yeah, it's a special place because you can watch archival stuff like that, like Eddie Murphy's first weekend update appearance. Whoa. You know what I mean? And I think it was... Was it Gumby? Yeah. I think it was only dress rehearsal because it didn't go well because they didn't know him. You know what I mean? Right. They were just kind of giving it up.
We Might Be Drunk
Ep 205: Kenan Thompson
But he was telling like jokes that would work for anyone. You know what I mean? Like real jokes. But the fact that they were just getting to know him, he was getting smattered applause, which is so crazy. Wow.
We Might Be Drunk
Ep 205: Kenan Thompson
He's doing a lot of different stuff. Yeah, man. Versatile. Yes. Yeah. And just was in it immediately. Aged, what, 7, 19, doing stand-up before, whatever. You know what I mean? Whatever the story is. Just crazy. Always is murdered and still has the talent.
We Might Be Drunk
Ep 205: Kenan Thompson
He was the longest prodigal son, yeah. Like, we had, it was him and Sandler. Yeah. So, like, Sandler came in April. Wow. And then we were off for the summer, and during the summer, they announced Murphy was doing Christmas. I was like, this motherfucking Lorne Michaels is a gangster.
We Might Be Drunk
Ep 205: Kenan Thompson
He does not take a moment off. Like, yeah, it's summertime, but I'm also gonna, like, lock in both these goats in the same year after it's been 30 for both.
We Might Be Drunk
Ep 205: Kenan Thompson
Insane. Who do you want that's never hosted? Yeah. Cosby. Who do I want that hasn't? There's a few people like Denzel would be interesting. You know, like Brad Pitt did the cold open during COVID. But, you know, it was a pre-tape thing at his house, so we didn't get to work with him necessarily.
We Might Be Drunk
Ep 205: Kenan Thompson
Yeah, and you know, I think he would be interesting. Tom Cruise.
We Might Be Drunk
Ep 205: Kenan Thompson
How is Tom Cruise not funny? You know, superstar weirdos. I don't think he's funny. That would be cool.
We Might Be Drunk
Ep 205: Kenan Thompson
Lawrence Fishburne. Oh, yeah. Those legends. Wesley Snipes. Has Nicholson ever hosted or no? No. Yeah, I mean, not since I've been there.
We Might Be Drunk
Ep 205: Kenan Thompson
We don't do television. I'm a movie star. Right. Oh, there he is. But he came to the 40th.
We Might Be Drunk
Ep 205: Kenan Thompson
Yeah. No. That's the burden of the big D. When it's time to move on, they have a hard time letting go.
We Might Be Drunk
Ep 205: Kenan Thompson
Oh, that's his sudden smile, too. Got it. Damn. I guess he's got a big dick, too. He looks happy.
We Might Be Drunk
Ep 205: Kenan Thompson
Well, that's insane because no one thought to do that. And it wasn't the first time they'd done Batman. It's like, no, this is already a thing. Like, we should all be thinking like this. He was the only one that was just like, well, probably the only one that could. Yeah, he had the pull. That shit's wild.
We Might Be Drunk
Ep 205: Kenan Thompson
And I wonder if it was him or his agent. Like, who was the real business brain there?
We Might Be Drunk
Ep 205: Kenan Thompson
Oh, I'm sure. I don't know what they are, but like... You know, SNL is from October to May. So like I see people that leave and then all of a sudden they're able to do like five a year kind of thing. And it's like, oh, well, I'm definitely probably not available for a lot of things. But I couldn't tell you what they were like.
We Might Be Drunk
Ep 205: Kenan Thompson
I think my reps soften that blow for me and just be like, we'll save him from that. Like knowing that he's going to miss this opportunity. Right. That's nice. But I do see them like I see like when Chris did. What was the one that he wrote and directed? Five something? Chris. Chris Rock, sorry.
We Might Be Drunk
Ep 205: Kenan Thompson
Top five. Top five, thank you. Where he's the alcoholic. Yeah. That one I even auditioned for and then wound up not getting it.
We Might Be Drunk
Ep 205: Kenan Thompson
That one stung. That's crazy. Which part did you audition for? I think Tracy's part, so it didn't really sting that bad. Like, of course.
We Might Be Drunk
Ep 205: Kenan Thompson
damn either Tracy or JB's role one of the two either one of those right but like look at that cast it would have been like that's a fun room it's great to have been around that chase you know what I mean like just like fam wow maybe DMX's last stand damn he was that was like probably the best part of the movie too yeah
We Might Be Drunk
Ep 205: Kenan Thompson
Yeah, it's a mixture of the, like, balance the swing the whole other way and not really do much kind of thing. Like, I'm just on call waiting on my kids. Like, kids are getting out of school in an hour, you know what I mean? Kind of shit. And then, like, seeing what they're doing all day and then, like, at nighttime kick it or not.
We Might Be Drunk
Ep 205: Kenan Thompson
Like, really feel good about going to bed in weeks off kind of shit. But, yeah, hypernormal. I don't, like, tinker at all. I wish I did, but...
We Might Be Drunk
Ep 205: Kenan Thompson
It's a dedication. I respect it too much to do a special just because I have a name. Right. I've always been a big fan of stand-up and have realized early that it's not my commitment to do.
We Might Be Drunk
Ep 205: Kenan Thompson
Come on. It's a real dedication for real. And I don't think it's almost like being in the street. You can't start late. Right. You can't do something else and then go do that. Right. Good point. You know, you got to like do that first.
We Might Be Drunk
Ep 205: Kenan Thompson
It's like the biggest fear ever. Yeah. It is, but it wasn't my fear at the time because I didn't know any better. And I was a minor when we gave him power of attorney. Damn. And got that paperwork from the drugstore. And at the time, I was like, we're in Eckerd right now. Like legal paperwork. Yeah, notary. Documents, you know what I mean? Like out of some aisle in the fucking... Wow.
We Might Be Drunk
Ep 205: Kenan Thompson
Whatever the fuck. They just had like a power of attorney document or some shit. Some doc that was able to like give them that. And it was fine until it wasn't. You know what I'm saying? And then, yeah, like... Is this all that? Sued in one time or Mighty Ducks time? It was, like, late in the Nickelodeon run. Wow. So it was, like, when I was, like, 70.
We Might Be Drunk
Ep 205: Kenan Thompson
As far as Nickelodeon minors, you got off easy. I definitely did. Like, I went through clean because we were trailblazing. So, like, nobody was cocky enough to try things like that because... there was no like, you can just dismiss people's parents. Like, our parents have been like, what are you talking about? Like, we're not stepping out from anything. You know what I'm saying?
We Might Be Drunk
Ep 205: Kenan Thompson
but it was never like around the business it was always like i would i took a typing class in atlanta one time right right you know like people in the hood or whatever but damn it was very innocent back then god it's scary but you've been on my tv for so long yeah my my whole life it's my the only job i've ever had heavyweights will you just name it oh my god that's right you're in heavyweights yeah that shit was a good time
We Might Be Drunk
Ep 205: Kenan Thompson
No, it was targeted directly towards that person. It was like, what a piece of shit. I will fucking murder him. And, like, they just don't know. And, like, luckily it never went that far. But, like, I literally sat in his driveway.
We Might Be Drunk
Ep 205: Kenan Thompson
with me and my buddy like overnight once like like i found out because the way i found out i was buying a house so i thought and he didn't show up with the down payment check you know what i mean so i'm sitting in the fucking closing office in front of like four strange white people and like they're looking at me just like twiddling their thumbs and shit and like the time comes and then it's five minutes past and then it's 10 minutes past i'm like i don't know where then i start calling you're not answering the phone
We Might Be Drunk
Ep 205: Kenan Thompson
damn you know what i mean weirdly enough and it's mad early bro like i had to get up to do this shit and like get dressed yeah and like go over there and he just didn't show up so like it was highly embarrassing and then i like left there blew his phone up the whole day didn't answer and then i sat in his driveway all night and so he called me the next morning like hey are you in my driveway and i was like yeah i've been sitting here all night because there's an echo in the
We Might Be Drunk
Ep 205: Kenan Thompson
And he's like, yeah, one of my neighbors told me that there's been a car in my driveway all night. And I'm like, yeah, motherfucker. Like, what the fuck, bro? Like, you didn't show up with, like, what's going on and all this shit. And it just, like, unfolded from there. And did he come clean about this or what? He never came clean personally. But, you know, the cars were on the table.
We Might Be Drunk
Ep 205: Kenan Thompson
Like, I sued him in one but can't collect or whatever. So it's just pointless. And I just moved on pretty quickly. Yeah, I moved on right away because I realized. I didn't have a cushion to even dwell on. I just had to get back to work. I thought I was going to just come home to Atlanta and kind of chill and work. Yeah. And I just moved right back to L.A. and just got back to it. Damn. Yeah.
We Might Be Drunk
Ep 205: Kenan Thompson
Yes. That is a classic. And you could just, I think we squeezed that movie in at the last minute to where you could do a movie like that.
We Might Be Drunk
Ep 205: Kenan Thompson
Shout out to Sean. I spoke to Sean yesterday, actually, on Instagram. And Sean was at the height of his being funny as a kid. Age, right, in this movie. Just murdered it. Shout out to Aaron. Look at the before and after of Aaron. Just started shredding himself. It's just amazing. Good dude. And it was a weird cross-section of, like...
We Might Be Drunk
Ep 205: Kenan Thompson
Mighty Ducks one people and Mighty Ducks two people being in a movie. So I had my first time meeting Aaron. But yeah, we had a good time. Shout out to Ben Stiller, man. That was fun. Shout out to Judd. Shout out to all those guys. Tom right there. Judd has been making shit for a long time. Yeah, man. He wrote Celtic Pride also. All that shit. Judd's been in the trenches. Covert.
We Might Be Drunk
Ep 205: Kenan Thompson
That was the first time meeting Covert. First time meeting Veague. Look at young Paul Feig. Oh, young Feig. Feig's in there. Yeah. That's right. He hits the girl in that one. Pedigree on that one. Yeah. First time meeting fucking Pete. Pete fucking director. He directed the Rihanna fucking Navy Robots movie.
We Might Be Drunk
Ep 205: Kenan Thompson
p berg yeah exactly that guy oh man i just watched this movie funniest shit and then just pivoted into being a director like yeah big time movie director he's in that movie last seduction great movie that's an awesome one yeah he was a brilliant actor yeah for forever david bow directed hancock i think still in mirror like bro tom hodges timbre wow movie is chock full of motherfuckers jesus
We Might Be Drunk
Ep 205: Kenan Thompson
I don't know if it's from heavyweights, though. Yeah, it might have been Snakes on a Plane or something. Right, you were in Snakes on a Plane. Yeah, yeah. Snakes on a Plane, Wieners, I've been out there.
We Might Be Drunk
Ep 205: Kenan Thompson
Yeah, Good Burger's up there. Quotable. But yeah, a lot of all that Kenan and Kel, like Nickelodeon era, 90s era, good stuff. Yeah, I watched it. Yeah, it depends on the person.
We Might Be Drunk
Ep 205: Kenan Thompson
Yeah, that's what makes it easy for me is because I know him from doing his show. We did it like five times, me and Kel, back in the day. It was good times.
We Might Be Drunk
Ep 205: Kenan Thompson
That's it. It's Hank, because he's looking, and they give him softball, beach ball toss-ups.
We Might Be Drunk
Ep 205: Kenan Thompson
Because in the answers even now, they're just looking for the active moments for Steve to just go off on a tangent for seven minutes. The greatest one that I watch on a regular basis, it's tucked into Family Feud's greatest moments or whatever kind of thing. But it's when this guy gives the exact same answer in his answer as the question or something.
We Might Be Drunk
Ep 205: Kenan Thompson
He's like the question is like something, something about the White House or something like that. And then he's like, oh, if you don't want someone to stay somewhere, that's not the White House. Where would you put him? And the guy says the White House or something like that.
We Might Be Drunk
Ep 205: Kenan Thompson
and he goes off on a fucking tangent for fucking 12 minutes it is the greatest shit ever because he's going back and forth with this other guy who has like a loud laugh and it's like a
We Might Be Drunk
Ep 205: Kenan Thompson
Crazy. Wow. The whole season, like maybe a week and a half, only because he takes breaks. Like he could really do the whole season in like five days or something crazy like that.
We Might Be Drunk
Ep 205: Kenan Thompson
Because he's got it down to like he's also a workhorse, so he'll do seven a day.
We Might Be Drunk
Ep 205: Kenan Thompson
I can't remember where that one came from. I think we were all kind of aware of him at the same time. We were all kind of like, have you seen this guy? Maybe I brought it to Che and them, or maybe Che brought it to me. I can't remember. But anytime somebody like that pops up and it's just like... claiming crazy shit or has got a crazy voice and just got a crazy story, it's ripe for update.
We Might Be Drunk
Ep 205: Kenan Thompson
I always get very excited when people like that just pop out of the world because it's sad because he's been quiet. You know what I mean? I don't have anything to make fun of. But, like, the rent is too damn high guy was the same. Unbelievable. Like, what an unbelievable character. Like, looks like the Lorax. You know what I mean? And, like, it has all these Agent Orange conspiracy theories.
We Might Be Drunk
Ep 205: Kenan Thompson
That's why he wear gloves. Whoa. Just like a real character. Like, there's real characters in the world. It's the best.
We Might Be Drunk
Ep 205: Kenan Thompson
They're funny. So, yeah, that's just the beauty of the show, taking reality and then satirizing it but making it look just like itself. You know what I'm saying? Yeah. When Kiki hosted and we did the Kenan and Kel reboot thing, sketch or whatever, which was her idea, by the way. Shout out to Kiki. And they rebuilt Rigby's, their fucking grocery store I grew up in. You know what I mean?
We Might Be Drunk
Ep 205: Kenan Thompson
He's great. All right. He's in L.A. Being a family man, that was a year and a half or two years ago. It wasn't that long ago.
We Might Be Drunk
Ep 205: Kenan Thompson
Yes. I mean, both. If I don't like the person, it's a lot more fun to take them down a notch kind of thing and showcase what we find to be somewhat ridiculous or exaggerated as far as what a normal person should seem like. But Yeah, I try not to do any, you know, super duper malice, but at the same time, I am poking fun at people's existences.
We Might Be Drunk
Ep 205: Kenan Thompson
Like, I realized a little too late that Neil deGrasse Tyson doesn't like my approach. Really? Because I'm, yeah, he considers himself to be probably very cool. Right. You know what I mean? Like that motherfucker wears fedoras and shit.
We Might Be Drunk
Ep 205: Kenan Thompson
That's true. So I think he thinks he's very cool. He's tall. Yeah. You know what I mean? He's a big guy. But my approach to him is so. That's great. My take on him, like he's just so, when he talks, that's what he sounds like to me. Yeah. Like very educated and nerdy.
We Might Be Drunk
Ep 205: Kenan Thompson
And he gets off on the solar system or some shit like that.
We Might Be Drunk
Ep 205: Kenan Thompson
I talked to him once and I kind of overheard him being like, yeah, so that was, you know, like, what's up with, like, you think I talk like her or some shit like that? Really? Wow. And I was like, oh, my bad, bro. Like, I was going kind of hard in that direction of making you a little nerdier than you think you are kind of thing. What?
We Might Be Drunk
Ep 205: Kenan Thompson
But it's also like I'm looking for the fun. I don't know what the fun of talking about the solar system is, except for maybe he thinks it's erotic. Is there anyone else that got pissed? Steve didn't love it in the beginning. Harvey? Yeah, he's another one that considers himself pretty gangster. Right. From Cleveland, grew up rough kind of thing or whatever. I see that.
We Might Be Drunk
Ep 205: Kenan Thompson
So not to be just mocked like that, but it wasn't like mocking. It was more kind of, I don't know. Yeah.
We Might Be Drunk
Ep 205: Kenan Thompson
it's just it's an homage if you will the existence of that person and that that kind of a presence your your tone your vocal tone has a presence you know what i mean the way you are it just you know it rubs off on people so that's why we do impressions of people it's sad when a comic gets annoyed because like you know what this is like neil i get it or trump you know you're like all right you're not a comic but a comic should get it yeah you should you should just get it but also it's
We Might Be Drunk
Ep 205: Kenan Thompson
One thing to hear a joke about yourself is another thing to watch someone pretend to be you. Yes. Probably. Yes.
We Might Be Drunk
Ep 205: Kenan Thompson
Keenan Ivory Wayans, Arsenio was probably the craziest thing ever. The long fingers. Long fingers, big butt. When did Arsenio have a big butt? At what point? You know, it was just like walking around acting like that. I don't think he ever did. But that was his take on him for some reason.
We Might Be Drunk
Ep 205: Kenan Thompson
Is that real? Yeah, he just, no, he padded that for that character. And I'm like, why? Yeah. I've seen it. It was the skinniest guy ever. Totally. But it was the craziest shit. That was a big and little killer guy. Who were your guys growing up that you really looked up to? These guys, that whole Wayans family for sure, Murph.
We Might Be Drunk
Ep 205: Kenan Thompson
Like everybody on the black side of things that's done it pretty obviously. But Jim Carrey I feel like is one of the greatest performers overall.
We Might Be Drunk
Ep 205: Kenan Thompson
Bernie was great. But, yeah, that's what I'm saying. Everybody on the black side is good. Learned about, like, George Carlin and those guys later. And he had, like, the SNL, you know, alumni for sure.
We Might Be Drunk
Ep 205: Kenan Thompson
Yeah, he had a tough year. That's why he was only there for a year. But he still was able to find one of the greater sketches with Nat X. Like, it was always the best thing in the show.
We Might Be Drunk
Ep 205: Kenan Thompson
It was just brilliant. You know what I mean? And it fit him and the time, you know, and it just, it worked. Yeah. But, yeah, he had a tough time, you know. You know, Tracy had a tough time for a long time. Really? It's weird that him and Tim Meadows weren't closer than I would like them to be in my mind. You know what I mean?
We Might Be Drunk
Ep 205: Kenan Thompson
100%. Like night and fucking day. But to me, that doesn't matter. Like I get along with whoever, you know what I'm saying? Yeah. They both, you know, chose based on the reaction, you know what I mean? To be like, oh, well, this isn't what I was expecting. So I'm just going to go over here and do whatever.

Ep 205: Kenan Thompson
I'm sorry. I'm trying to read. Yeah. I said I would get you pregnant.
We Might Be Drunk
Ep 205: Kenan Thompson
Oh, yeah. Damon was the original star. Yes. He was a great stand-up. He had a rough time on SNL, too. Oh, yeah? Yeah. I don't even think he did the full season. It was like six weeks. It was some tough story.
We Might Be Drunk
Ep 205: Kenan Thompson
But, yeah, he had a tough time because it's another. I want to say stand-ups have a tough time. Yeah, why do you think that is? It's because you're going from an individual pursuit to an ensemble pursuit. You know what I mean? And it's tough for stand-ups probably to play the black ground, if you will. Right. Also, it's like, yeah, you're right.
We Might Be Drunk
Ep 205: Kenan Thompson
It's like going from like tennis to playing baseball or something. Yeah, and being in the outfield. Yeah. You know what I'm saying? And just like you get your moments, but it's not as cracking as the infield or something like that or whatever.
We Might Be Drunk
Ep 205: Kenan Thompson
yeah with the writers that's what jim brewer used to say when he was on right that he was like oh i'm not like one of these you know harvard guys you know yeah and it's probably tough to match wits or have your wits on display you know like i thought i was done with school you know what i'm saying like yeah we were like right all in the sandbox but like no like is really not going to laugh if they don't find it impressive
We Might Be Drunk
Ep 205: Kenan Thompson
Yes. To make it impressive is like usually something has to be really smart or some sort of reference that is eye opening to people. And it can't be the same old thing. Like it can't just be. you know, a black reference for the sake of the second time or the first time. You know, the first time is like, yeah, okay, cool. Thanks for like enlightening us or whatever.
We Might Be Drunk
Ep 205: Kenan Thompson
Second or third time is like, why are you excluding people in your thought process? Like you should be thinking just overall a dinner scene between a father and a son or, you know, a family arguing over some shit, you know what I mean? As opposed to like,
We Might Be Drunk
Ep 205: Kenan Thompson
specifics based on like visual culture things or whatever because that's when like you start leaving shit out you know i mean yeah you know you're getting pocket laughs as opposed to like whole room laughs right it's hard i think for stand-ups to think like that 100 even want to engage in that i don't know who george harrison was when i started over there you know what i mean yeah
We Might Be Drunk
Ep 205: Kenan Thompson
the Beatles, but our stage manager, Jenna, had a George Harrison cartoon pin on, you know what I mean? And I was like, who's that? She was like, George Harrison? I was like, yeah. I'm still asking the question. And she was like, he's one of these, there's My Sweet Lord and Brothers. I was like, oh, okay. But I genuinely didn't know that name. That is a big name in a white culture, I would say.
We Might Be Drunk
Ep 205: Kenan Thompson
Oh, yeah. It's a whole lot to take on while you're also trying to figure out your career and if it's working and it's live, it's just a lot going on there. I understand when people get confused or they start butting heads with it because It's not the normal situation, you know what I mean? Especially for, like, stand-up. Like, that's a fish out. If they had no acting experience kind of thing.
We Might Be Drunk
Ep 205: Kenan Thompson
You cheat out, you know what I mean? Downstage, upstage, all this extra stuff. Right, right. On top of, now I got to also engage in, you know, try to learn about, like, all these other cultures I may or may not have ever been interested in doing. Yeah. I never had a...
We Might Be Drunk
Ep 205: Kenan Thompson
super duper beatles interest but only because i grew up like listening to motown and gospel and shit like that it's just i didn't know kind of thing yeah it wasn't like i felt like i was missing anything until i knew i was and then once i knew i was i was like oh shit so i feel like that can be daunting to people and that's why they might have a tough time there
We Might Be Drunk
Ep 205: Kenan Thompson
Yeah. And that's totally fine. You know what I mean? And I think. They do as good as they can with trying to ease that transition, and some people take to it, and some people tank to it. Thank you very much. Yes. Thank you very much.
We Might Be Drunk
Ep 205: Kenan Thompson
That's the forum that's just like, it's just jokes. Right. So it doesn't matter about blocking. There's no blocking.
We Might Be Drunk
Ep 205: Kenan Thompson
I don't know if they fizzled necessarily. The only like left and came back successfully at all that I know of is Parnell. Parnell was let go weirdly, was doing very well. He's good. And continued to do well or something and was asked back or something like that.
We Might Be Drunk
Ep 205: Kenan Thompson
But yeah, he's the only like left and come back that I think I'm aware of.
We Might Be Drunk
Ep 205: Kenan Thompson
Yeah. Well, I mean, he's back for the announcements. I don't know if he ever, like, left the show on his run, though. Oh, Donahue left.
We Might Be Drunk
Ep 205: Kenan Thompson
I'm all over the place. There's not enough comedies anymore. There's no comedies to be seen right now. It's so sad. I'm always waiting on Seth Rogen or somebody to do some shit. That's been the mainstream thing. Or Kevin. Kevin and the Rock is like the Jumanjis is what we get nowadays as opposed to some sort of road trip or something.
We Might Be Drunk
Ep 205: Kenan Thompson
It holds up, man. I just miss the... you know, kind of like, not as far back as Airplane, but those guys that would do those kind of movies or whatever.
We Might Be Drunk
Ep 205: Kenan Thompson
Even Vamp, like, if I see Vampire Suck is on, like, I'll watch that shit. Yeah. It's just like, they're being just silly and dumb. Yes. Of course, the classics, like, the Tropic Thunders of it all, but like, that's where it felt like It was the end of the road for the freedom of wanting to be funny kind of thing. Yeah, scary movies. We used to have Austin Powers. I know. That was wild.
We Might Be Drunk
Ep 205: Kenan Thompson
There was three of them. That's insane. Yeah, there was a couple scary movies. I'm looking for that era, but... I watch whatever. A lot of horror movies. Not so much drama. Like, I don't feel like crying, I guess.
We Might Be Drunk
Ep 205: Kenan Thompson
We're working on it. I mean, the basketball is. Oh, love it. It should be allowed to be done. Yes. Like, there's supposed to be a freedom of speech.
We Might Be Drunk
Ep 205: Kenan Thompson
Well, that's what I'm saying. Like, let the audience tell you. Yeah. They keep trying to suppress, but then you have the Shane Gillises that pop up out of that suppression. Right.
We Might Be Drunk
Ep 205: Kenan Thompson
I didn't really know much of the story and like it's above my pay grade what they do with people's lives and careers like that. Yeah. But if it was squashed between the people, then that's as far as it should have gone. But it's definitely weird not to give someone a chance. Yeah. A chance to say their piece, a chance to whatever kind of thing.
We Might Be Drunk
Ep 205: Kenan Thompson
cool they had him back eventually it's cool that he earned that regardless like he got to that point in stature career-wise or whatever that it made sense to have him back you know what i mean and like he was a nice guy you know what i mean trying to figure out good guy how to match how he grew up to sensibilities you know what i'm saying which is what everybody's trying to do
We Might Be Drunk
Ep 205: Kenan Thompson
But I feel like it might have been tough on him. You know what I mean? Like, watching him host and, like, if you watch the show, he's pretty similar in every sketch. And that takes a toll on a few different things. It takes a toll on the audience or eventually, like, just things start to become milder in reaction kind of thing. And that starts to fuck with people's heads kind of thing.
We Might Be Drunk
Ep 205: Kenan Thompson
And then when guys are just... have a stand-up base as opposed to, like...
We Might Be Drunk
Ep 205: Kenan Thompson
an actor base to rely on and play any character like i'll play a fucking tree you know what i mean but i feel like stand-ups like if they're not getting the pop from when i say something and i hear the pop of a laugh or some shit and i think it starts to like spiral motherfuckers out oh yeah well you know the old rodney story on caddyshack i was just thinking this
We Might Be Drunk
Ep 205: Kenan Thompson
Like, I don't know what the fuck is going on. Why am I here?
We Might Be Drunk
Ep 205: Kenan Thompson
Hanks is up there. Chappelle's up there. You know, like Chappelle is just like one of my favorites, you know, just legendary from Killing Them Softly on. Yeah. And like I was watching him before that, but like that was the diamond has been formed out of the charcoal moment for me and then on into the show or whatever.
We Might Be Drunk
Ep 205: Kenan Thompson
So just a hyper fan of the dude and then got to actually be around him because he started hosting the show and shit. It's fantastic.
We Might Be Drunk
Ep 205: Kenan Thompson
And then Tom Hanks is just one of the nicest fucking people on the planet. It's insane how someone can be that infamous. Baby blood. He's baby blood. Yeah, you know, that's what it is. It must be the sweetest blood on the planet. But yeah, he's just a genuinely like hard working, works hard at being a nice guy kind of thing.
We Might Be Drunk
Ep 205: Kenan Thompson
I don't know Chet because I guess he only hangs with rappers. But Colin is a good dude. Yeah, and a good actor. A hard work, great actor. Great on Mad Men. Yeah, great actor. Orange County, that was kind of great. Oh, yeah. Great in Jumanji. This motherfucker popped up in Jumanji. I was like, yo, he's a gangster.
We Might Be Drunk
Ep 205: Kenan Thompson
With the host? I mean, the musical guest one was the crazy one. Ashley Simpson shit. That was the craziest thing ever.
We Might Be Drunk
Ep 205: Kenan Thompson
yeah that was the craziest shit ever i was watching that live it was just it was a sad night you know it felt very sad like no matter what happens like who gets the blame for this it's not a good look on her she is yeah the symbol of the moment you know what i mean and there's no escaping it for her she can't be like they fucked up it wasn't me right it's just like
We Might Be Drunk
Ep 205: Kenan Thompson
No, it's on your back and like it's been revealed and this, that, and the other. Why did she do that? She's not the only person. She's inexperienced, I think, because she was in her second probably year of being a performer from her sister's shadow kind of bullshit.
We Might Be Drunk
Ep 205: Kenan Thompson
And just had probably never had that happen before. You know what I mean? A little Billy Vanilli moment.
We Might Be Drunk
Ep 205: Kenan Thompson
Oh, everybody's waiting on the train wreck. Look who, look who, everyone covered it. Look at all those like outlets that covered that shit.
We Might Be Drunk
Ep 205: Kenan Thompson
You know what I mean? And I guess she just didn't wrangle the moment. She didn't just be like, stop. What the fuck is going on? Blah, blah, blah. Get it right. And then actually perform. And that would have cleared that whole thing. But the fact that she just like let it go and like did a dance, you know what I mean? And then they went to commercial.
We Might Be Drunk
Ep 205: Kenan Thompson
And it showed she was kind of given this and wasn't prepared. You're right. Ouch. It was tough.
We Might Be Drunk
Ep 205: Kenan Thompson
That happens a lot. we talk about that dynamic between wednesday and saturday the two different audiences because wednesday is a comedy minds audience you know what i mean like they are the brains that carve current comedy yeah so when you please that room sometimes you're miles ahead of joe q public right right so like things will go really well on wednesday and tank their ass off on saturday
We Might Be Drunk
Ep 205: Kenan Thompson
And it's the worst thing ever. So, like, anytime something goes really well on Wednesday, I'm like, all right, calm down, calm down, calm down. You know what I'm saying? Like, let's just make sure that bridge is connecting to, like, regular people. Because a lot of the time it really doesn't. And it's so confusing. It's like, where did we lose them? Why do we love this so much?
We Might Be Drunk
Ep 205: Kenan Thompson
And they could care less kind of thing. You know what I mean? Yeah. Hey, you guys came to see a comedy show, right? This is comedy. Yeah. Sometimes they just don't attach to it at all kind of thing.
We Might Be Drunk
Ep 205: Kenan Thompson
Yeah, those are kind of impervious. The more jokes, the better. Yeah, of course. The ones that are just like joke, joke, joke, joke, joke. Yeah, it's just too much to be denied. There's pockets where it gets weird or quiet or whatever, but there's something coming behind it or whatever. Oh, yeah. But when you're doing like...
We Might Be Drunk
Ep 205: Kenan Thompson
Just a sketch that's, you know, about an office or a conference room or, you know, an apartment, conversational party, you know, just you got to sell it. Shout out to fucking Emma Stone, who might be one of the greatest ever. Wow. Like. Watching her do that Mama Cass thing last year was one of the greatest things I've seen a host do. She's so committed.
We Might Be Drunk
Ep 205: Kenan Thompson
And I told her, I'm like, you don't under-commit to anything. And there's a few people that are like that. But she's so effortlessly locked in on everything. She does not half-step ever. It's crazy. Wow. Like, watch any one of the sketches she's done. And she's hosted five times.
We Might Be Drunk
Ep 205: Kenan Thompson
So there's a lot to choose from. Like, she's always in it. She's never, like, weird in it or, like, smirking or anything. Like, hyper committed. So, like, that shit right there.
We Might Be Drunk
Ep 205: Kenan Thompson
She's committed, and she's not necessarily under the radar, but I don't know if people understand what a treasure she is. She just won Best Actor. She's crushing it. That's what I'm saying. Didn't she win twice? That's what I'm saying. Oh, really? Motherfuckers aren't giving her the Meryl Streep treatment like they need to.
We Might Be Drunk
Ep 205: Kenan Thompson
I don't know if she's ever hosted. That's another one that would be super fun. Dayton Martin Short. Or is she Dayton Martin Short? What? What is that? Is that real? I don't know. I keep reading about it.
We Might Be Drunk
Ep 205: Kenan Thompson
And I keep reading about these rumors and then Steve Martin's weirdly like may or may not have confirmed on his Instagram. I was like, Steve Martin's got Instagram? There's a lot to process.
We Might Be Drunk
Ep 205: Kenan Thompson
I don't buy it. That was one day ago, so they actually had to put out a statement.
We Might Be Drunk
Ep 205: Kenan Thompson
but no i'm thank god i'm never like i don't do the crossover music business thing like my buddy writes a lot of music and shit like that but i hate the studio i can't sit there and listen to like that process over and over and over again it's not for me just workshopping like their words
We Might Be Drunk
Ep 205: Kenan Thompson
The whole thing, like they listen to the track a million times and they just build it like in layers kind of thing. And it's just this it's the most minuscule building. Like it's like doing a movie in a night because everything is just piece by piece by piece by piece by piece.
We Might Be Drunk
Ep 205: Kenan Thompson
yeah and the end product yes is great but getting there man is like like i can't do editing rooms you know i mean i can't watch them recut a scene and rewind it and like right and just adjust it just a little bit you know what i mean like oh oh the fucking sound effect doesn't match the hand on the door oh shit i can't do it
We Might Be Drunk
Ep 205: Kenan Thompson
Very. Very. But they're getting 880. Yeah, the list is bananas. 880 mils. What? Yeah, it's just one city's diocese, I believe, that's putting that out, right? Is it just Boston? I didn't know about this. Yeah, they just settled for $880 million. Oh, the L.A. The L.A. Catholic Church. So funny. You were talking Diddy or the whole church. Diddy and the church together giving out a billy. Whoa.
We Might Be Drunk
Ep 205: Kenan Thompson
It's so crazy. That's a lot of tip. That's crazy. Just the Los Angeles arched ISC is given out to 1300. That's awful. Like what is happening over there?
We Might Be Drunk
Ep 205: Kenan Thompson
He's retiring. I feel like he's stepping out of the church. He's starting to want to be more of an individual. Like, he's given them enough, they might let him go? I don't know if they're going to let him go, but he's definitely been distancing lately. He doesn't talk about it much, you know what I mean, kind of thing. He's not recruiting the same kind of way. They've actually been very quiet.
We Might Be Drunk
Ep 205: Kenan Thompson
Like, they don't have a new... Right, right. Well, they had Will Smith, but then I think he got a little wonky with the slap. Yeah, got a little wonky, but... What is that? What was that? That was the craziest shit ever, too.
We Might Be Drunk
Ep 205: Kenan Thompson
Yeah. No, their roster's not great. Yikes. Damn. Well, I'm joining. You know, signs you ups. You want to be successful. Doug E. Fresh. Doug E. Fresh.
We Might Be Drunk
Ep 205: Kenan Thompson
Of course it's Bart. Of course it's Bart. Yeah, you nailed it. It's always the stars.
We Might Be Drunk
Ep 205: Kenan Thompson
Yeah, she might be generational. There's a lot of people like that. You forget how old Scientology is. That's true. That's just been around.
We Might Be Drunk
Ep 205: Kenan Thompson
It's my favorite joke from, like, Bill Burr is one of my favorite jokes. It's like, your guy's name is Ron?
We Might Be Drunk
Ep 205: Kenan Thompson
your savior's name is ron yeah it's true that was a good episode snl oh yeah he's great i i think he's just a brilliant mind and like yeah a brilliant speaker of his thoughts that's why i like dave so much you know what i mean just free thinking and like knows how to speak that funny yeah it's great
We Might Be Drunk
Ep 205: Kenan Thompson
I just touch you everywhere. Yeah. And, like, yeah, that audience comes in and, like, there is some clutching of the pearls. There was clutching of the pearls on Nate. And I'm like, you guys are clutching pearls on Bargatze? The cleanest guy. You know?
We Might Be Drunk
Ep 205: Kenan Thompson
I mean, I guess you guys have someone warming up the crowd a little, right? Yeah. With a song? I mean, Che does, like, exit procedures in kind of being a funny way kind of thing. Like, welcome to the show-ish. And then I sing a song. But, like, it's not a night of stand-up. No. It's not a traditional thing. Because most hosts still just do a monologue that's sketchy. Like, sometimes they'll sing.
We Might Be Drunk
Ep 205: Kenan Thompson
Sometimes other cast members will come out, you know what I mean, and do, like, Beetlejuices.
We Might Be Drunk
Ep 205: Kenan Thompson
I don't know why standups choose to do that, honestly, because it's so not a forum for that. What do you mean, like Chris Rock's special? Like any standup that hosts the show when they do standup monologues, I'm like always like,
We Might Be Drunk
Ep 205: Kenan Thompson
taking a big swing on that like relying on this audience who has probably been doing whatever all day yeah to really be there for you to support this brilliance that you're throwing out they're not going to receive it and support it the way you think they are right unless you're just on fire you know what i'm saying sure i feel like they used to though like carlin prior uh andy kaufman steve martin they all did stand up on snl back in the day and it was
We Might Be Drunk
Ep 205: Kenan Thompson
Yeah. But I guess it's just the times. Yeah, it's just the times. I think everybody's just like... Yeah.
We Might Be Drunk
Ep 205: Kenan Thompson
I love that shit. Like, I love watching the host dressed in the next sketch, just waiting on the next sketch to start just thinking about that monologue. That's so true. Was it good? Like in the dark, we're all talking before the lights come up. It's like, what do you think? It's great. It was funny. It was like, I don't know what they mean. I don't know if they were really feeling it or not.
We Might Be Drunk
Ep 205: Kenan Thompson
Yeah, as long as it's not against the censors, I'm sure they butt heads about the material. But Lauren's pretty good at being like... Good luck. Yeah. Like, whatever you want to do, like, everybody knows better, basically. Like, you know what's offensive. You know not to curse. You know what I mean? You know not to, like, hyper go at women unless you really have a point.
We Might Be Drunk
Ep 205: Kenan Thompson
attitude is like i don't care if you laugh or not and it works it works you know and his voice is almost at a place in time yeah right and that it serves it because the monologue is kind of at a place in time yes it really is true and he looks so yeah he's like if you want to butt heads against him he's just like very good at being like okay yeah like have fun with that right we'll be here next week
We Might Be Drunk
Ep 205: Kenan Thompson
No, I got kids, so I'm always... Oh, okay. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Sorry, what were you saying?
We Might Be Drunk
Ep 205: Kenan Thompson
Yeah. We just did a four-in-a-row run, and those are always kind of heavy.
We Might Be Drunk
Ep 205: Kenan Thompson
It was a good run, man. I mean... I'm complaining about four shows when the fourth show was Michael fucking Keaton. You know what I mean? It was the best. So, you know, it's all good. A little bit of tiredness never hurt nobody. You see him and you're like, this dude's got comedy chops too. Yeah, man. He started as a stand-up. That dude was incredible. Michael Douglas, I should say.
We Might Be Drunk
Ep 205: Kenan Thompson
I love that. It's like when you count up the actual amount of football that's played. Right.
We Might Be Drunk
Ep 205: Kenan Thompson
100 and still wants to give it like that's one of my favorites. Easter candy when he's just doing like quirky ass characters.
We Might Be Drunk
Ep 205: Kenan Thompson
He's so damn good. He's the actor's actor. He really wants to find it, support it, service it. He's just a good dude.
We Might Be Drunk
Ep 205: Kenan Thompson
Yeah, Goldblum's, like, 6'9". That does it for everybody. Is it? Exactly. Super tall. And he plays the piano, jazz piano.
We Might Be Drunk
Ep 205: Kenan Thompson
Is he? No way. It's got to be Israeli. That makes so much sense. A Jew in show business? Jeff Goldblum. Yeah.
We Might Be Drunk
Ep 205: Kenan Thompson
what uh who's been oh dude california split that's right he's like he pops up in like every 70s movie oh yeah who's been like a surprise great host because bargasi crushed both times i thought he's just he nails what he does yeah he really does and he's such a nice guy too so that cooking one you did with him was so good oh yeah oh yeah that shit is like i don't know man between that and george washington is like everybody's favorite
We Might Be Drunk
Ep 205: Kenan Thompson
But, yeah, when he won the Soul Food shit, like, yeah, he does fish out of water very well. Yes. Apologetic. Like, it shouldn't be me. You know what I mean?
We Might Be Drunk
Ep 205: Kenan Thompson
I'll tell you. I think my favorite was them giving him the, like, Howard University jacket. Yeah. It's like, please take that off. Pull it up. That made me laugh a lot. But, yeah, those fucking George Washington sketches are just incredible. Shout out to Mikey and Streeter.
We Might Be Drunk
Ep 205: Kenan Thompson
They're just such a solid, like, writing team. Yeah. Shout out to Mikey Day, man. He's such the people's champ as far as cast members that write. Oh, really? That service other cast members. Yeah, he writes for the ensemble very well.
We Might Be Drunk
Ep 205: Kenan Thompson
Yeah, Mikey's one of the sweetest dudes in the world, man. Been on the track for a long time, like, wilding out season one. What? But also, like... I didn't know. Brownlings and shit like that. So he's just had a long run at it and is now getting shy. Nick Cannon low-key behind like a lot of. A lot of that shit, man. Nick Cannon the guru, you know. Pete Davidson. Shout out to him. Oh, yeah.
We Might Be Drunk
Ep 205: Kenan Thompson
She had a tough time. She had a tough week. I don't think she does comedy or maybe she wasn't like...
We Might Be Drunk
Ep 205: Kenan Thompson
getting a lot of the jokes or like why people thought it was funny like maybe it was to her like more taking shots as opposed to like no everybody just you know gets jabbed at a little bit type thing you know i mean yeah so but she's still a friend of the show like she came to the 40th and shit and was like partying with jay-z and beyonce behind us kind of whatever at their table
We Might Be Drunk
Ep 205: Kenan Thompson
Those nights are crazy. Like Prince is on stage with Dan Aykroyd. Wow. You know what I mean? And then behind me is like Jay-Z, Beyonce, and like Paris Hilton like chatting. Damn. Are you used to it at this point? It's wild. I don't think you ever get used to it because Goldblum was in the building that night too. Damn. You know what I mean?
We Might Be Drunk
Ep 205: Kenan Thompson
It was just like that kind of shit is like, yo, I'm not second generational enough to ever get used to a lot of –
We Might Be Drunk
Ep 205: Kenan Thompson
somewhat heroes of yours sure and all being in the same vicinity like that like it's nothing yeah that's nice to hear because i feel like a lot of people get jaded over the years you're there what 21 years now yeah this is 22 22 crazy i love it i love famous or talented people especially a talented famous person like that shit is
We Might Be Drunk
Ep 205: Kenan Thompson
incredible to bump up against and I'm one of the worst I will tell them like yo I gotta tell you like we let the same thing that some people do to me like I love you so much like you don't even know blah blah blah and hold them up from where they're trying to go so I can get the rest of my sentence out and all that shit
We Might Be Drunk
Ep 205: Kenan Thompson
I remember those, though. Because you don't walk through Times Square that much unless you really are from out of town. You know what I mean? But I remember walking past that comedy club like twice. And there was always some poor soul that has got to drum up business. in that insanely busy environment. It's like, oh, by the way, you know what I mean? You got all these distractions.
