About this listen

“Kenan is a master storyteller with extraordinary stories to tell. I wouldn’t miss this for the world.”—Leslie Jones

When I Was Your Age is a hilarious, heartwarming and surprising ode to growing up, getting older and wiser, and luck, life, and learning from the school of hard knocks, from SNL's longest-serving actor, Kenan Thompson

Kenan Thompson is Saturday Night Live’s longest-ever-serving cast member and a star of such pioneering sketches as “Black Jeopardy” and is hugely beloved thanks to a tidal wave of nostalgic fans who grew up on early 2000s classics All That, Good Burger, and Kenan & Kel on Nickelodeon.

He’s also a dad (to two girls) in his mid-40s living in suburbia, and whose universal, relatable, family-friendly humor has created unbelievable appeal and engagement from fans from middle America to coastal elites. Becoming a dad sucked the cool right out of him—and he's OK with that!

When I Was Your Age is packed with hilarious yet poignant essays that are aimed to offer any listener valuable advice on parenting, focusing on positivity, and having fun in life. Kids, new parents, fellow fathers, budding comics, and aunties who want to pinch his cheeks, can all learn from his biggest mistakes and most triumphant victories. There’s something for everybody here!

A bit surface level but a beautiful read

I am 29 so you have to understand I am the nickelodeon generation. I am a big comedy fan so once again prime audience. This is a wonderful book although it does feel a bit surface level with love everyone on snl, love everyone ever worked with, no beef, no drama...except bankruptcy and accountant.

Humble humble Kenan

Growing up with Kenan & Kel and watching Kenan on SNL I wanted to dive into this. It’s very back and forth with things that happen but a lot are like this now and I like it. He doesn’t really touch much on his time on Kenan & Kel but it’s nice to hear his stories. A truly humble guy who got hit hard after his Nickelodeon career and really earned where he is. I enjoyed listening but I want more
