After over 10 years, Kenan Thompson’s Jean K. Jean is one of the incroyable #SNL characters to make their return to the show. Zut alors!
So SNL characters that returned to the show after a 10+ year absence.

I saw the tweet but until you said it better then the tweet I didn’t get that it is characters that had a gap of 10+ years between appearances.

Re: SNL General Discussion Thread

I've been rough on this show for decades, still don't watch live, but I must say that the filmed shorts I've seen online from this group have been hilarious mostly across the board.

Re: SNL General Discussion Thread

Nealon never broke

He kept his cool during the Harvey Kietel bathroom sketch

From Horatio Sanz mercilessly cracking up Jimmy Fallon to giggly guest host Ryan Gosling, breaking character on “Saturday Night Live” has become a bit of a … thing.

Not to be a Debbie Downer – did anyone get through those alive? – but longtime castmember Kevin Nealon has no respect for the encroaching trend.

“I never broke character on SNL,” Nealon, a regular from 1985 to 1996, posted Tuesday on X. “I knew how much time the writers put into those scripts. You don’t want to be the one who throws it off.”


That may be true, but it sure gets attention, the latest example being Gosling, who couldn’t get through a sketch earlier this month wherein the writers made some last-minute joke changes that weren’t revealed until they were live, from New York. Moments like that may be viral, but there’s one other “SNL” heavy who famously doesn’t approve: Producer Lorne Michaels.

“Lorne doesn’t like when the cast breaks,” Nealon continued. “Even if the audience laughs, it doesn’t work for the sketch. If I could get through the Chippendales sketch, I could get through anything.”

Re: SNL General Discussion Thread

Some sketches like Celebrity Jeopardy work better with nobody breaking. Others, like Lisa from Temecula and Beavis and Butthead are majorly amplified when people do break.

imo at least.

Re: SNL General Discussion Thread

I think Lorne is pragmatic enough to understand that fans like occasional breaking, even if he is philosophically opposed to it, and SNL needs viral sketches.

He does a youtube show where he interviews people while they go on a hike. Watch occasionally depending on the guest.

He is, and his appearances on Conan's podcast are often hilarious.

Re: SNL General Discussion Thread

Nealon did Weeds and he appears on the late night talk shows occasionally too and had some stand up specials on cable and streaming.

Re: SNL General Discussion Thread

It's fairly obvious that Lorne has loosened up on the breaking thing, since they just did a sketch where the whole point was to make Gosling and Padilla laugh.

Things have changed since Nealon was on SNL. Back then, the cast was banned from making commercials to endorse products.

Re: SNL General Discussion Thread

We still have the last three episodes on the DVR unwatched. I've been watching since Eddie Murphy.....and I just don't find it funny anymore. Most weeks I just maybe chuckle a couple of times, and that's during weekend update. I think I'm done.

Domingo has a couple of things coming out. He plays Joe Jackson in the Michael Jackson biopic and he’s in the new season of Euphoria.
