Saturday Night Live introduced Keke Palmer in as host, and he or she had essentially the most enjoyable whereas additionally bringing us again to our childhood roots. Meaning she made Kenan Thompson promise to do a “Kenan & Kelly” reboot along with her. “Kelly” clearly being a play on Kel Mitchell‘s a part of the sequence Kenan & Kel that used to exist again within the late 90s. And as a 90s child, it’s a present I take into consideration usually, and it is clear that Palmer additionally grew up with it and cherished the buddy comedy.
For the sketch, Palmer says that she has offered the present already, and it’s a return to the format of Kenan & Kel however this time with “Kelly” performed by Palmer. Throughout the present although she apparently desires to get an Emmy Award and provides issues like Kelly being pregnant with Kenan’s child and racking up a invoice of $5,000 {dollars} for soda.
It felt like the right sketch for the 90s children who all grew up watching Kenan & Kel or knew them from All That as a result of whereas Thompson has been on Saturday Night Live for practically 20 years, he was in sketch comedy for us millennials once we had been children. And we grew up loving the shape as a result of of performers like Thompson. And we had been gifted with Mitchell as a part of the sketch too!
It simply felt so real and perhaps that is as a result of everyone knows that Palmer is the sort of performer who shares her love for these she works with and people she’s a fan of however the sketch is clearly one which got here from individuals who cherished Kenan & Kel rising up. And to have Mitchell within the sketch? That’s what made this clearly really feel like a present.
All That and Kenan & Kel had been reveals that made quite a lot of younger followers get into sketch comedy and comedy as an entire. We watched them after which turned followers of reveals like Saturday Night Live and so to see these worlds mix? That’s what’s so cool about this complete factor and Palmer clearly being excited to be a part of Kenan & Kelly was hilarious and such a millennial factor to do. Not going to lie although, I’d watch Kenan & Kelly & Kel each day if I may.
