Who loves this news? Kel loves this news! Is it true? Is it true? Oh yes, oh yes, oh yes, it’s true, he does, he does, he does, he does. In a new interview with Entertainment Weekly to celebrate the 20th(!) anniversary of beloved Nickelodeon comedy Kenan & Kel, Kenan Thompson and Kel Mitchell participated in an extensive discussion that included, among other topics, the show’s lasting legacy and amusing behind-the-scenes memories. (You just know Mitchell gets stopped on the street every single day to chat about orange soda.)
One intriguing tidbit that emerged, though, has less to do with orange carbonated beverages and more with a potential reunion on the small screen. Specifically, might a Kenan & Kel comeback be in the works? “I miss and love those guys, it was awesome times,†Thompson said. “I wish we could just pick up and do Kenan & Kel: The Grown-Up Years, getting everyone back working together. I feel like it would be an awesome moment for everybody.†When asked point-blank about a potential reunion, Thompson teased: “I mean, we might as well; it couldn’t hurt. If people want it then they should have it.†The people want it, Kenan! We do, we do, we do, we do!
