Everyone in the audience was laughing but I was laughing too much.

What Kenan Thompson Watches (and Plays) With His Kids

Kenan Thompson's been acting for most of his life. Cast in both All That and D2: The Mighty Ducks in 1993, when he was just 15, Thompson came of age onscreen. Maybe that's why, when he joined Saturday Night Live, just ten years after he started on Nickelodeon, Thompson felt like a fully formed comedian, sure of his own voice and style and able to deliver in just about any situation. He might have been relatively young, but compared to his fellow cast members, he had more credits and (arguably) more experience.

I'm not reveling in another person's pain, he said. If I wanted to do that, I would join ICE.
