-
You're looking past -- Yeah. -Looking that way.
-
-No, I mean -- you know, it's been a good year.

But honestly, like one of my bigger highlights
-
was the R. Kelly thing.
-
So, I don't know if I wanted to be nominated for that.

But I mean, it was a great -- [ Laughter ]

It was a great cold open. -Why's that stick out?

You know? It was responded to... -Funny.

-
But, you know, touchy subject. You know?
-
-Yeah. Very topical, but, yeah, it was well done.

-
It's topical, man.
-
-I want to talk about "All That."

[ Cheers and applause ] -Saturdays --
-
-Amazing. -Saturday nights on Nickelodeon,

-Yeah, man. They found seven new awesome kids
-
and I couldn't be prouder of those kids.

Good for you to do that. Are you gonna make any --
-
Are you gonna make any cameos, maybe, on that show?
-
-Yeah, yeah, yeah. I mean, I can cameo as myself.
-
That was like my one stipulation, so...
-
-Yeah. -I did this thing.
-
I think you're gonna be happy with it.
-
-Okay, good. I like that you're doing that.
-
'Cause "All That" is where you got your start.
-
-Absolutely. I mean, and the other, you know,
-
elder cast members from the original cast
-
have been doing their thing.
-
They've coming back and doing a lot.
-
Kel has been killing it.
-
He's got the Good Burger pop-up restaurant going on right now.
-
I mean, the guy is a marketing genius right now.
-
-That's great. That's fantastic. -Yeah, if you love orange soda,

Jeff Foxworthy. -Jeff Foxworthy.
-
-Hosted by the great Amanda Seales.
-
Man, it's a great little unit.

And the champion is gonna get $250,000.
-
[ Cheers and applause ] -A lot of money.
-
-Yeah. -That's got to make you feel
-
to have -- -It makes me feel great.
-
It's NBC's money. You know what I'm saying?
-
-Oh, yes. It's not your money. [ Laughter ]
-
-Throw it on out there. No problem.
-
-Not -- no problem at all. Yeah.
-
-They may want to up the ante a little bit.
-
-But what is your -- what is your judging like?
-
What is your -- Where do you come from when you judge?
-
-I try to, you know, just be a raw audience member.
-
You know what I mean? Not try to judge too hard,
-
but if I get distracted by certain things,
-
I try to point that out. You know what I mean?
-
Like, you got a boog hanging or something.
-
-Yeah. [ Light laughter ]
-
Do I? -No.
-
-Okay, good. [ Laughter ]
-
Did you remember getting any advice from any comedians
-
when you were starting? -Yeah, I mean, you know,
-
words of encouragement, I think, really went further.
-
You know what I'm saying? Than any kind of advice.
-
'Cause, like, it stayed with me. Like, I met Jamie Foxx once
-
on his show and he was coming out of his dressing room
-
going to a set or whatever.
-
And it was just in passing, but he, you know,
-
took the time and turned around and noticed me.
-
He was like, "Hey, man.
-
Boy, you got all the talent in the world.
-
Keep doing what you're doing."
-
And that like, stays with you.
-
You know what I'm saying? -Yeah.
-
-I was 18, I'm 41 now.
-
so, yeah, it was really nice. -That's cool.
-
-Somebody who's that talented and that great.
-
You know what I'm saying? -Yeah.
-
I'm excited to see who is gonna win the show and --
-
-Right? -See where they go. Yeah.
-
-We should get a little piece.
-
-I should wet my beak, but, yeah, no.
-
I was thinking I want to have 'em on the show.
-
-Yeah, you should. -Well, we will.
-
-You should totally. -Yeah.
-
-Speaking of, like, Jeff Foxworthy is, you know,
-
very famous for doing "The Tonight Show."
-
-Oh, he's been our show. He's a great guest.
-
-Yeah. He's really nice.
-
-I want to show everyone a clip.
-
Here's Kenan Thompson in "Bring the Funny."
-
-Oh, check it out. Check it out.
-
-Think back to any of our past memories at this very park.
-
[ Laughter ]
-
-You'd make me the happiest man in the world.
-
-Man, sorry I'm late guys. I was getting the hot dog --
-
Oh, my gosh! Are you proposing?!
-
That's amazing! -All right, Kenan.
-
-I thought it was brilliant.
-
Repetition is one of my favorite things in the world.
-
So, like, the flashback thing
-
I just thought was incredibly brilliant.
-
And the variances of comedy is what we're exploring here.
-
That was a prime example of how awesome it can be
-
in another kind of way. So awesome job, yeah.
-
[ Cheers and applause ]
-
-Honest. -It's good that you do that.
-
And positive. -Honest and positive, right?
-
-Yes, positive.
-
-I don't try to tear anybody down.
-
-Kenan Thompson, everybody.
