Kenan Thompson Reveals Which Saturday Night Live Alum He’d Like To Guest Star On His Last Episode Of The Show

Kenan Thompson has actually been making audiences laugh for twenty years now through his deal with Saturday Night Live. Some are most likely questioning when the fan-favorite star may conclude his period. In the past, he’s stated that he prepares to remain up until, a minimum of, SNL’s 50th season, which is simply around the corner. So if that holds true, we still have a couple of more seasons to take pleasure in Thompson’s amusing funny perceptiveness on the NBC pillar. However, this doesn’t mean Thompson isn’t thinking of the future and more particularly, who he wants to see visitor star on his last episode.

In a current interview with Entertainment Weekly, Kenan Thompson spoke about a few of his preferred SNL minutes ahead of his 20th season with the program. When asked who he’d like to visitor star or host the future episode, Thompson exposed that he’d like among the funny series’ most renowned alums to drop in:

It seems like the Nickelodeon legend’s list has actually trimmed as time has actually gone on, however Cheri Oteri is the individual that he’s still waiting to deal with. Oteri was a cast member on the program from 1995 to 2000 and made her mark through her amusing impersonations of Jessica Simpson and Debbie Reynolds. She likewise played initial characters like cheerleader Arianna and difficult Philadelphia native Rita DelVecchio. Given her comical skills, it’s not difficult to see why Kenan Thompson would wish to deal with her.

Kenan Thompson appears to enjoy the chance to deal with seasoned entertainers, as evidenced by this interview and previous remarks he’s made. Thompson just recently expressed his love for pal Maya Rudolph and talked about an especially fond memory from among the program’s popular afterparties.

There are going to be a lot more chances for the 44-year-old star to deal with huge names down the roadway. Miles Teller, Brendon Gleeson and Meg Thee Stallion are currently confirmed hosts for season 48 and, obviously, more will be revealed as the season goes on. Numerous fans have actually campaigned for comedy legend Carol Burnett to host so, ideally, the television icon is amongst those who gets to take the phase at Studio 8H.

The series likewise just recently revealed its cast additions for the 48th season, which debuts in October. The lineup includes a great deal of brand-new faces, thinking about the program lost 8 of its entertainers over the last couple of months. Pete Davidson, Aidy Bryant, Kate McKinnon, and Kyle Mooney were validated to confirmed to be departing Saturday Night Live ahead of the Season 47 ending, and it was reported this month that Alex Moffat, Melissa Villaseñor, Chris Redd, and Aristotle Athari would also not be returning to SNL. If anything, this makes one even more pleased that the Kenan star is staying.

Kenan Thompson has actually dealt with a number of cast departures throughout his period, so I’m sure this will not be too challenging to browse. Producer Lorne Michaels has actually mentioned that cast shake-ups can be a positive, and I’m sure Thompson will exist to coach the newbies. The brand-new cast members will (or currently do) admire him as he does Cheri Oteri. Now, that Thompson has actually made it recognized, I’m hoping that Oteri does appear for his ultimate last episode. But offered how amusing Thompson still is, let’s hope that certainly does not take place for a minimum of a couple of more years.

You can capture the precious star on Saturday Night Live Season 48 when it premieres on October 1 at 11:30 p.m. ET on NBC.
