Kenan Thompson explained why he’s decided to stay with Saturday Night Live all this time. The star sat down with Chance the Rapper for SXSW to talk about the long-running series, his career, and his sitcom on NBC. It’s been quite a few eventful decades for the comedian. Fans will remember him from Nickelodeon programming like All That and Kenan and Kel. But, for a while now, he’s been making people laugh over at SNL. With the lineage of great comedians who often try to leave for greener pastures, some people wonder why Kenan has made Studio 8H his home for so long. He told the Grammy winner that the collaborative environment is a huge part of why he chose to stick around. It is probably hard to replicate the thrill of going to work each week and meeting so many different people. Musicians, movie stars, and other talented comedians frequently cycle in and out of New York City to do the show. It seems as long as he sees that spark, he’s not going anywhere.
