I actually think that Kenan Thompson is a good comedic actor, one of the best in the current cast. It's the material he has to work with. It's really old news now, but SNL is in desperate need of more good writers.

One huge problem they must solve asap is the lack of funny black people on the show. As has been commentated on, they have no black women, and their black man is almost always not funny (I do like his Rerun character - but that seems to be his basic character). The Cold Open was dead while he was on, then popped when the Ill Gov came on. What does it mean about American that we can find a black man who most people agree is competent to be president during the most difficult period since WWII, but we can't find a black man funny enough to do 2 skits on late night television? --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ Like TV only smarter.
