      Ikr. It feels that the Parental side of the Protests has yet to be fully covered. Most didn't work their ass off for their kids to be out there protesting instead of being in the classroom.
      "Protest, advocate, change the world! But you better finish your damn education before any of that. We didn't save up all this money to see you get a rap sheet before you graduate." - What I'd imagine my own parents saying to me.
      But congratulations on graduating this year! I hope you do great things in your field!

He's also been at SNL for like 20 years because he probably can't get a better gig. I look at SNL like high school or college and eventually the stars "graduate" and move on. Kenan is like that 8th year senior in college who is always trying to prey upon freshmen.

    Producers rarely get any love, and it seems like a fairly thankless job pulling together all the details that comprise a great show, so I wanted to mention that the soundtrack SNL uses as an intro for this kind of community-broadcast sketch is just perfect. Every time I hear that kind of staccato-rubato flute music, it evokes memories of a community-affairs program that was broadcast from a local affiliate in my hometown and, I imagine, all those that were based in other peoples' hometowns. 👌👏🏻💖
