Another Kenan Thompson skit was Black Jeopardy. Here is the one with Tom Hanks as a MAGA-hat wearing white guy who does surprisingly well.

The Black Jeopardy with Chadwick Boseman - AS T’Challa - was simply brilliant.

If you haven’t seen it, T’Challa - coming from a society where black people are respected and full members of society - is pretty disconnected from the answers Black Jeopardy is going for.

Thanks for the reminder. That episode is here.

Yeah? What’s so great about him

See this profile from the Washington Post, or this one from the New York Times.

@Dewey_Finn

I believe he’s leaving the show at the end of this season, and that’s unfortunate.

Where did you see this? I haven’t seen anything about Kenan leaving SNL, just this: Kenan Thompson gets an NBC sitcom, but will stay on ‘SNL,’ too

To be fair, Howard Stern came up with that concept eons ago.

I don’t think Simon’s jaw was dropping. I think he was just really *digging *what Lindsey was playing. That is the respect of one guitar virtuoso for another.

I agree. This isnt’ the first place I’ve seen, “jaw-dropping” to describe Simon’s reaction to this, and I think it was wrong both times. Watch him - he’s just grooving on it, lost in the moment. He loves music, Lindsey makes great music.

Now MY JAW, yeah, Lindsey makes my jaw drop. He’s #1 on my, “big rock star I’d love to see in concert” list. I really, really love his guitar work.
