Kenan Thompson says fellow SNL cast member Pete Davidson "missed the mark" with wounded veteran joke

"My father is a veteran—you know, Vietnam—and I personally would never necessarily go there," Thompson said of Davidson's "Weekend Update" joke made at the expense of Republican Congressional candidate Dan Crenshaw. "But it's tough when you're fishing for jokes. Like, that's how stand-ups feel. Like, there's no real filters out there when they're trying to go for a great joke or whatever. We try to respect that. But, at the same time, when you miss the mark, you're offending people. So, you have to kind of like be a little more aware, in my opinion."
