Kenan Thompson just celebrated a major milestone in his historic 19-season tenure on Saturday Night Live.
NBC
As of last night's show, Kenan has appeared in 1,500 sketches. FIFTEEN. HUNDRED. SKETCHES.

You might know that Kenan is also the longest-tenured cast member in the show's history, having been on the show for 19 seasons and counting.
He was in four sketches throughout the episode — starting with "Paw Patrol," in which he played a disgruntled citizen of Adventure Bay, the town where Paw Patrol takes place (I think?).
He also played a meatball in a pre-recorded sketch, which you really need to see for yourself.
For sketch #1,500, Kenan played Gus Van Tant, the host of In Over Your Head — a home repair show for people who tried (and failed) to perform their own home repairs.

Gus was joined by several homeowners — like "Felix Cruz" (played by host Oscar Isaac), who electrocuted himself trying to install his own circuit breaker.
Speaking of Oscar, he was hilarious and should be invited to host again ASAP.
Gus's last guest was his wife Carlisa, who wasted no time in pointing out the irony of her husband hosting a home repair show when their own house is in shambles. As always, Kenan continued to prove his chops as a living comedy legend.
