Kenan Thompson has been acting for over 25 years now. He has been part of ensembles like All That, Kenan & Kel, and Saturday Night Live. Tonight at 8:30p, he is getting a sitcom that is titled after him. Not only does this hard-working, talented actor deserve this, but he gets a show that is worthy of him.
Kenan is about a widowed father of two who is trying to adjust to life after losing his wife. He spends his mornings hosting a daytime talk show and his nights with his daughters and father-in-law. That is a lot for one man to handle, but he will try to do his best.
Something that would be easier if his co-host wasn’t so aggravating. You know the type. Thankfully, he has Mika (Kimrie Lewis), his EP, and his brother, Gary (Chris Redd), the manager on the show, to back him up.
When he is home, he has his father-in-law, Rick (Don Johnson), to help out with his daughters, Audrey (Dani Lane) and Birdie (Dannah Lane). They are a mix of both of their parents. Since Kenan’s wife is not around, he wants to make sure his girls know that he loves them very much.
It has been rough on Kenan since he lost his wife. He is just starting to be more like his old self, but the reminders are there, and he has to learn to live with those feelings. Thankfully he has enough loved ones to support him through this difficult time.
Kenan is not a sad show. In fact, it made me laugh several times. All I will say is “fat Beyonce” should become a thing after this episode airs.
We all need something sweet in our lives, and Kenan does just that. We need Kenan, so y’all need to watch this show tonight and every Tuesday on NBC.
