Millenials were in for a nostalgic throwback as Emmys 2022 host and SNL actor Kenan Thompson reunited with Kel Mitchell for a guest appearance at the awards ceremony on Monday, September 12.
The friends started their careers on Nickelodeon’s 1994 sketch comedy show All That and then worked for four years on their own show titled Kenan & Kel. They have also worked together on a movie called Good Burger.
At the Emmys 2022, host Kenan Thompson did a bartender sketch with Kumail Nanjiani. During the sketch, Nanjiani pointed at a man with his face down and asked Kenan to take the order of this 'unidentified' man. Kenan was surprised when the man turned out to be Kel Mitchell, who jumped up from his slumped position and asked:
"You know what… can I get a good burger?"
After hugging him, Kenan said:
"Let’s make it two good burgers."
Later, Chris Gardner tweeted about this Good Burger reunion and said that producers reached out to Kel when they found out that he was in NYC for his book tour for Prank Day. Needless to say, fans were delighted by this Emmys surprise.
