The duo and host Keke Palmer star in a dramatic reimagining titled Kenan & Kelly.
Kenan ThompsonandKel Mitchellreunited onSaturday Night Livefor a gritty, dramatic reboot of their beloved 1996 sitcomKenan & Kel.
“I thought, ‘That won’t work.’

And I was right.”
“My mama used to get drunk every day and call me an idiot,” Palmer says.
“My uncle told her to blame me for my daddy leaving.
How you gonna blame a little girl for that man being a coward?”
Mitchell’s signature catchphrase (“aw, here it goes!")
is swapped out for a nonsensical, “Oh, here comes the bus!”
In Palmer’s arms, a dying Mitchell who is therealfather of Kelly’s baby!
delivers his trademark, “Aw, here it goes!”
The show “is not good,” Thompson says in another confessional.
Aptly, Thompson recently citedKenan & Kelas a sketch that could work onSNL.
“I feel likePierre Escargotcould work, you know?
Adults having to work at Good Burger.”
Yeah, Ask Ashley!
I think those kind of things would work because it’s a talent showcase, and that’s whatSNLis.
It’s like, ‘Here are the people we think is funny.
And America usually tends to agree.”
