Kenan Thompson Fears Painful SNL Departure

Kenan Thompson, a celebrated figure on Saturday Night Live, has spoken about his eventual departure from the iconic sketch show. Having joined the cast in 2003 and becoming a repertory player in 2005, Thompson holds the record for the longest tenure. He anticipates that leaving SNL will be a deeply emotional experience, regardless of the circumstances of his final performance.

Reflecting on his impending exit, Thompson humorously suggested he might employ a 'French leave,' a way to depart without a formal goodbye. While his departure is not imminent, his long-standing presence means many colleagues, both on-screen and behind the scenes, will share in the emotional farewell.
