I am really bothered by Kenan Thompson's statement on why SNL doesn't have any Black women in their cast.
Wait, let me back up for a second and tell you the T. In a TV Guide interview, Kenan said this was the reason why SNL hasn't cast a Black comedienne:
"It's just a tough part of the business. Like in auditions, they just never find ones that are ready."Really? Is that what we are saying now?
You can't tell me there are no funny Black comediennes. It's disheartening to hear him say this. It's almost like Kenan was put out there to sell some Foolishness Water to the masses. Well, I ain't buying and neither are other folks.
If they aren't finding anyone, then they should keep looking until they do. Hell, why don't Kenan jump in and help!
For 38 years, SNL has had 4 Black women in their cast... That's unacceptable! They can find funny women of color and they need to stop with the excuses and get their act together.

I call bullshit on Keenan's comments.
And not once Wanda Sykes was up for consideration? Bullshit.
Yea, Keenan was wrong to have said that. The TWO REAL Reasons there are no black women on the cast are 1) SNL isn't looking for them, and 2) SNL writers write what they know, and apparently they don't know black. Heck, just look how rarely they use Keenan.
his sloppy, unfunny, one trick pony, looking horrible in drag ass should've been off this show years ago. I don't know how Tina Fey put up with him.
Sounds like a dumb comment he just made because he was put on the spot - the whole quote says "when pressed Thompson said" - and I bet they really really pressed him. But if he truly thinks this he needs to GTFO fo real
