Kenan Thompson's Wife: Everything About Christina Evangeline

You might have first stumbled on him back in the 1990s in Nickelodeon's sketch comedy series All That, where he co-starred with Kel Mitchell. Today, American actor and comedian, Kenan Thompson, is a cast member of the NBC sketch comedy series Saturday Night Live since 2003. 

Here, we will discover more about Kenan and his wife, Christina Evangeline. It's going to be captivating – an Emmy award, trips to Disney World, the lesson of perseverance, and all. 

After appearing in movies, voice acting, and guest starring, Kenan returned to sketch comedy in 2003 when he joined the cast of SNL. However, this didn't happen at the first try. He disclosed that he had sent audition tapes multiple times for a couple of years, with SNL replying that he looked "too young" to join the show. This is where perseverance in one's goals and dreams is the key to success.

Before being cast, he was a featured player until 2005, where he played black women and other characters. It was in 2013 that he refused to play the same role and demanded that SNL hire black women instead. Fast forward 17 seasons, Kenan is now the record-holder for the longest-tenured cast member in the show's history. He is also the longest-serving African-American cast member in the show.

True to his nature, Kenan also holds the record for the most celebrity impressions performed on the show, with a total of 139 impressions. SNL is Kenan's "Forever plan," even though it initially began as a stepping stone towards other opportunities. He won the 'Primetime Emmy Award' for 'Outstanding Original Music and Lyrics' for SNL in 2018.
