    I love how Kenan interrupts the flow to point out Colbert's Robocop line, just making sure everybody knows how legendary Colbert is, and this is from a man who for 21 years has been an absolute legend on SNL himself. What's up with that is one of the funniest things I've seen on SNL ever, the man is a treasure.

      Ive loved Kenan since he and his wacky bff drank orange soda and got into ridiculous scenarios on All That. He felt like someone that'd be a life long "friend" and now its almost 30 years later and he's in a similar enough role. I feel like I grew up with him. 💜
