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.",
