Kenan has never showed the talent or ability that translates to non sketch comedy television, but I'm glad to finally see him do something that isn't SNL. Chris Redd is a good addition who will probably be the only good part of the show.

He was pretty hilarious in the Grinch movie that came out in 2018, but that was voice work.

Im sure SNL writers are involved. It will suck balls. Kenan can’t carry a show and they can’t write.



Agree 100%. Kenan is decent in very limited character appearances but that's it.

Kenan is at his worst on SNL when he tries to play the 'straight male' character. (Think Sudeikis, or Beck Bennet). He either has to be featured as some zany character or impersonation or be given some one off line that he can usually get some chuckles out of. So I don't see how he transitions into a sitcom at all.

He’s been on SNL for 18 years. That’s a hell of a run.

Besides this being an obvious Full House ripoff, why do networks/producers always use this plot crutch for the missing women? Are they too afraid to acknowledge some women are just POS who don't want to raise their kids and just leave the father high and dry?

A widower dealing with an annoying father-in-law?

My father-in-law was a great man and if my wife I would have gladly spent time with him.

My mother-in-law is a bitch that milt wife detests more than I do. If my wife were to pass on she’s not getting within 10 miles of me.

I'm not sure why he's unpopular on here he's about all SNL has left. And Family Feud is one of the best skits SNL has ever had. This show will bomb though



It's weird

He might be a shite actor but he's fun in a world where increasingly nobody in entertainment is very fun

That one looks especially bad. A crazy cat lady...that’s also named Kat!!! Holy shite zany!!

We made it maybe 2 minutes into and couldn't watch any more.

Fox can release this crap, but they couldn't properly send off Last Man on Earth? Even that bad Ghosted sitcom was better.

I like Keenan he just seems like a good guy. He found a big he enjoys and doesn't seem bigheaded about it. He's usually a likeable character.

I can't remeber thinking. "Oh not Keenan again" and I've said that about dozens of snl members over the years.

The laugh I got from reading that he was getting his own series is likely more laughs than I’ll get watching the series.
