Is Kenan Thompson still on SNL?

When Thompson joined the cast of Saturday Night Live in 2003, he became the show’s first cast member born after the show’s 1975 inception.

Thompson claims that he had previously sent an audition film to SNL numerous times, with them complaining that he was too young, and that “it was a couple years’ worth of that,” according to Thompson.

Thompson, who was a fan of the show before joining, expressed concern that appearing on it would be a disservice to it, saying, “It was weird for me for a long time.”

Thompson was a featured player until 2005 (during the 29th and 30th seasons), after which he was elevated to repertory player at the start of season 31 (2005–2006).
