Why do people think that Keenan was supposed to bring Kel along with him like they were brothers or something?


They didn’t come in the game together. They got paired up because they were the two most talented performers on All That. But at SOME point grown men have to be grown men. Keenan kept working and did well for himself. Kel been working too just in a more pow key capacity. It’d be like people expecting Jordan Peele to put Key in every movie he does. They two grown ass men with their OWN lives and responsibilities

When you promote yourself as a duo you will always been seen as duo. People don't understand what goes on behind the scenes.

Love Kel

But, I hate how people ignore all the work Kenan's put in and say Kel should be in his position

What has Kel done since Same Curl?



Prolly a lot but I wanted a excuse to post this classic

I never seen this before today. My life will never be the same! :dead::krs::dead:

I don’t think ppl thought he was suppose to bring him along but I think they were more popular together back then so most ppl would have loved to have seen that chemistry continue. Nothing wrong with two young comedic bruthas growing together and sticking together, especially in Hollywood. Also it’s interesting that you said Key and Peele when in my mind a case could be made that they could have been Key and Peele before K&P.

That's why they stopped working together. When Kenan and Kel left Nickelodeon in 2000, they didn't want people to lump them in with each other anymore. They wanted to prove they could stand on their own. Or maybe Kenan did because I think Kel more or less wanted to keep working with him. Kenan was doing SNL in New York while Kel was living in Los Angeles, dealing with his own problems. They weren't in touch back then.

It was only in the last couple years that Kenan and Kel became close friends again. Kel said on TMZ back in 2014 that Kenan didn't want anything to do with him. I think Kenan eventually realized that him and Kel will always be seen as a duo, so he started embracing him again. But for a long time, those two were barely speaking to each other.

Why would Kennan want to be linked with someone else forever? Kennan knows his strengths and weaknesses. He needs the right script to succeed as a lead.
