KENAN THOMPSON ENJOYS A GOOD BURGER
The All That boys are back when Kenan Thompson and Kel Mitchell return for a second fast-food film fix with the release of Good Burger 2 (November 22, Paramount+), in which Dexter Reed (Thompson), down on his luck after another one of his inventions fails, is given back his old job at Good Burger by cashier Ed (Mitchell). Thompson, 45, has come a long way since appearing in the original sketch from the Nickelodeon comedy on which Good Burger 2 is based. Read on to learn a little of what the Kenan & Kel star has been up to.

Thompson is the longest-tenured cast member in Saturday Night Live history, celebrating 20 years in Studio 8H this year.
He played a widowed dad with Don Johnson as his father-in-law in his own short-lived sitcom, Kenan.
