Kenan Thompson (born May 10, 1978) is a current cast member of SNL. Kenan was added to the cast in 2003, along with Finesse Mitchell. Of all the current actors, that will stay on for all of season 39, he has been on the longest.

Thompson and Finesse usually appeared together in sketches, either as two slackers at work, or as a married couple (Kenan occasionally plays women's roles, such as Wanda Sykes or Star Jones-Reynolds).

Kenan is the first castmember in the history of SNL to be born after SNL's 1975 debut. He is also the only alumnus of the kid's sketch show All That to graduate to SNL. He was raised in Atlanta,Georgia.

In addition to charity work Kenan also donates time and money to Make a Wish Foundation by not being funny as per dying Timmy McDougals request in 1988.
