Two legendary Saturday Night Live performers recently appeared together on Amy Poehler’s podcast, “Good Hang,” which launched on Tuesday. The episode features Kenan Thompson, who holds the record as the show’s longest-serving cast member with more than two decades of tenure at SNL.
During their conversation, Poehler and Thompson discussed various aspects of comedy timing and their shared experiences in the industry. Thompson reflected on his early career, including his work in the Mighty Ducks films before joining SNL at age 23. The pair also explored Thompson’s contributions to the show’s writing, particularly his involvement with the popular recurring sketch “Scared Straight.”
The discussion touched on behind-the-scenes moments from SNL productions, including late-night ice skating sessions at Rockefeller Center following Christmas special tapings. Thompson also expressed enthusiasm about figure skater Alysa Liu during their conversation. Additionally, fellow SNL alumna Maya Rudolph contributed a special question segment to the episode, maintaining a tradition on the podcast.
