Can you guess who SNL's newest star is?

[JeeberD]

I'll give you one clue:

Good Burger












That's right, SNL has signed Kenan Thompson, the kid from Good Burger and Nickelodeon's All That. God help us all.........

Saturday Night Live Gets a New Look (http://comingsoon.net/news.php?id=1682)

Kenan Thompson (All That) and comic Finesse Mitchell will join NBC's Saturday Night Live as featured players when the long-running show begins its 29th season October 4. The show also will debut a new opening sequence shot by veteran music video director Dave Meyers.

The comedy-variety series is getting a new set, modeled after New York's refurbished Grand Central Station. The transformation of Studio 8H was carried out by "SNL's" scenic design team.

School of Rock star Jack Black will host the season opener, with John Mayer appearing as musical guest. Justin Timberlake will host the October 11 episode, while Halle Berry and Britney Spears are set for October 18.

Returning to "SNL" are performers Fred Armisen, Rachel Dratch, Jimmy Fallon, Tina Fey, Will Forte, Darrell Hammond, Seth Meyers, Chris Parnell, Amy Poehler, Jeff Richards, Maya Rudolph and Horatio Sanz.

Whatever happened to Kel? :)

Two fat guys on one season? Could be trouble, but Sanz still get's my vote.

[CamEdwards]

yes, but Kenan fills both the "token fat guy" and "token black guy" role. Tremendous upside for Kenan.

If he was only gay then he could be a triple token threat...

He's the voice of T-Bone on Clifford the Big Red Dog.

Funny story about Keenan and Kel....we were all at my wife's grandmother's vacation house in Blowing Rock, NC a few years ago for Thanksgiving. We were all at the table and my nephews had Keenand an Kel on. All of a sudden, little old Grandma (a woman about 80) blurts out COMPLETELY out of the blue "I don't know why they have to have all these n*gg*r shows on tv". Talk about silencing a room! Man, I just couldn't believe that one...

The unintentional comedy when the lone black cast member has to play someone that looks nothing like them is always amazing. Tim Meadows was the bomb.

"Why did I sign a thirty year deal? It's such a long time..."

Speaking of the 30-year contract, Darryl Hammond has got to be closing in.

SNL needs a new Bush, because Chris Parnell just cannot cut it.

SNL is still on?

[Ksyrup]

I think I recognize 4 of the names of the cast members listed. I haven't watched that show in at least 10 years.

[bigdawg2003]

I always thought Kel was funnier

Ksyrup: If you haven't watched it in 10 years you pretty much cheated yourself out of Will Ferrell, one of the best cast members they have ever had.

While it only has a smidge of his work (and some great extras), his Best of SNL:Will Ferrel dvd is a must-watch.

Yeah, Comedy Central plays about 105 episodes every weekday.

Well, the other news guy (Finesse Mitchell) is black too, so they have two black guys, a skinny one and a fat one...

With a regular sized one they can field a line in Nintendo Ice Hockey.

You mistyped "worst" as "best". Common mistake.

SI Whether or not Will Ferrel is a comic genius is a subjective question open to debate.

Whether or not you are a humorless man-ape is not.
