Kenan Thompson opens mouth, inserts foot
Oh, honey. No. Saturday Night Live cast member Kenan Thompson was either fundamentally unfunny or completely unaware of public perception.
Thompson Us at the GBK Luxury Lounge in L.A. on Friday that his show would be open to having controversial rapper Chris Brown back on SNL: “It’s not up to me, but I’m sure we would if he had another hit single. We don’t care about scandal. We just care about what brings us ratings!”
True, but, um, see, having the current pop culture villain on the show tends to piss people off.
The not-so-funny guy didn’t know if SNL had invited Brown or Rihanna back to the show (though I’m not sure why they would).
“If we had them both on the show, that would be crazy,” Thompson said, calling the scandal “an unfortunate situation.”
He tried to remove his foot from his mouth (a little): “I don’t know the whole story, but I know how women can get when you get a text message from another female, so I’m just saying, you have to learn that you can’t put your hands on a female.”
But the damage is more or less done here. Kenan, lay low for a bit. You’re not funny enough to weather a particularly needless faux paux.
