Kenan Thompson has starred on Saturday Night Live for 22 seasons, making him the longest-serving cast member in the show’s history. He doesn’t seem to be leaving anytime soon.
“It would be cool if I never left the show. That’d be crazy,” the comedic actor told Entertainment Weekly.
The All That alum joined the show in 2003 when he was only 25 and continues going strong 22 years later.
“I guess the only other milestone would be just to be the forever cast member,” he said. “Just never leave the show.”

He continued, “Thirty [seasons] is like, okay, that’s just another number kind of thing. Twenty was just such a thing that nobody had ever done. People had gotten into their teens before, but nobody had gotten all the way up to 20. And then I was close to doing it. Once I started getting into 17, I was like, well, if I can, I would love to stick around till 20. And now here we are at 22, so I don’t know.”

Thompson doesn’t know if he or show creator Lorne Michaels would leave first, adding, “I feel like we’ll both just ride until the wheels fall off.”
Before Thompson, Darrell Hammond held the record for being the longest-serving SNL cast member, having been on the show for 14 seasons. Thompson is known for sketches like “What Up With That” and impersonating Steve Harvey in a Celebrity Family Feud parody.
