Kenan Thompson and Bowen Yang Confront Dave Chappelle’s ‘SNL’ Cameo, Shane Gillis Hosting and if You Can Really Separate Art From the Artist


Kenan Thompson and Bowen Yang reflect on how comedy has changed and whether you can separate art from artist.

Thompson chimes in, too, noting that the fact that people made it a story is a bit “jarring,” but that everyone was confused because Chappelle wasn’t part of that episode, which was hosted by Dakota Johnson. His past roles come up often, especially as of late with the new allegations of abuse against “All That” producer and “Good Burger” writer Dan Schneider in the docuseries “Quiet on Set: The Dark Side of Kids TV.” Last year, Thompson reprised the role of Dexter Reed in a “Good Burger” sequel; Schneider wasn’t part of it but is credited in creating the characters.
