In the mid '90s he starred in the beloved Nickelodeon kids comedy show All That. There, he played characters like Super Dude, Dexter from Goodburger and Pierre Escargot. Kenan left the show in 1999, but soon found work on Saturday Night Live. He joined the cast in 2003, first as a featured player… and the rest is history. He is the longest tenured cast member on SNL ever. It's a tough job, but it's a stable one – and he wouldn't have it any other way. Kenan recently co-wrote a book called Unfunny Bunny. He joins us to talk about why he wrote a children's book about collaboration and why after all these years he finds comfort in performing on SNL. We also get into some of his most iconic sketches including Black Jeopardy, What Up with That, and his time breaking into showbiz on All That as a teenager.
