Kenan Thompson reiterates his goal is to make it 20 seasons on SNL: "I'm trying to get to 20"

Entertainment Weekly

"I keep saying I'm trying to get to 20 (seasons)," Thompson, who begins his 19th season this fall, tells EW. "So if they don't throw me out of there before, I'm trying to get to 20. And then, I don't know if it makes sense for me to leave even after that point. As long as the show keeps going and they want me to be there and I don't feel like I'm in the way of somebody else's opportunity, should I just oblige? I don't really know what to do at this point, as far as leaving is concerned. Like, why should I ever have to leave?"
