Kenan Thompson Says His Daughters Prefer 'Good Burger' to SNL and Keep Him Current

He shared the family snapshot in a PEOPLE interview connected to his Jim Beam partnership.

Overview

  • Thompson says his girls, ages seven and 11, are a little young for Saturday Night Live but love his earlier work, especially Good Burger.
  • He notes they easily separate his calm, authoritative parenting style from his exaggerated on-screen characters and often ask why he is not like the TV version.
  • The comedian says his daughters get upset when he does not bring them to the show and that they wanted to meet guests such as Ariana Grande.
  • He credits his 11-year-old with keeping him up-to-date on pop culture, from new artists to soccer players and clubs.
  • The remarks come from a new PEOPLE interview published alongside coverage of his promotional work with Jim Beam.
