On their own paths. Kel Mitchell couldn’t be happier about teaming up with Kenan Thompson again — but the duo have been through some highs and lows.
Mitchell, 44, gushed over his longtime bond with the Saturday Night Live star, also 44, while speaking exclusively to Us Weekly at 90s Con in Hartford, Connecticut, on Saturday, March 18. “It’s a brotherhood. It’s really a brotherhood,” the Chicago native said. “We were praying together right before we went out to go see [Jimmy] Fallon and [had] a bunch of hugs and laughed all day. You know what I mean? That’s my bro so this is fun to us.”
The dynamic duo worked together on All That and Kenan & Kel throughout the late ’90s. They announced the highly anticipated followup to 1997’s Good Burger on the Friday, March 17, episode of The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon. “It’s unbelievable, it’s a blessing,” Thompson said at the time. “We’re gonna shoot it this summer and it will be out soon.”
Mitchell headed to 90s Con the next day — and the Heavyweights actor joined him for a surprise appearance during the All That panel. When asked how it feels to be revisiting Good Burger more than 20 years later, Mitchell told Us, “It’s surreal and we were emotional the whole time talking about it.”
Since the success of the ’90s comedy, Mitchell and his BFF went on to have relatively different careers. Thompson has been part of the SNL cast since 2003, becoming the longest-tenured star in the show’s history and earning an Emmy Award in 2018. Mitchell, meanwhile, last appeared on the big screen in 2013 and has had a handful of minor TV roles.
The Dancing With the Stars alum got candid about facing ups and downs with Thompson over the years as their lives took their turns. “You have to think about

Joni Mitchell was honored in Washington D.C., presented with the Library of Congress Gershwin Prize for Popular Song, and celebrated by her peers and famous fans, including Cyndi Lauper, James Taylor, Marcus Mumford and Brandi Carlile. Walking the red carpet with a cane, the Canadian singer-songwriter said that the honor was "very exciting." After an evening of performances in her honor, Mitchell, 79, took the stage and paid homage to the Gershwin Prize's namesake, George Gershwin, performing "Summertime" from "Porgy and Bess." Performers Graham Nash, Ledisi, Herbie Hancock, as well as Lauper, Taylor, Mumford and Carlile later joined Mitchell on stage to perform her hit song "Circle Game," bringing the crowd to their feet.
Chris Willman Senior Music Writer and Chief Music Critic The vibe surrounding Joni Mitchell being bestowed with the Gershwin Prize in Washington, D.C. earlier this month — as seen in a new PBS special — couldn’t have been more harmonious, from all accounts. And that’s a good thing, because under less loving circumstances, there could have been a turf war over who would get to sing “Both Sides Now,” the song that was Mitchell’s first hit in 1967 and might still stand as her signature song, if someone had to pick one with a gun to their head. The victor, in this quiet, bloodless battle: the inimitable Annie Lennox, who performed at the tribute to Mitchell just months after being inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame as a member of Eurythmics.
Chris Willman Senior Music Writer and Chief Music Critic When an all-star cast of musicians came together to rehearse their salute to Joni Mitchell for a Washington, D.C. tribute concert in February, in honor of her being the latest annual recipient of the Gershwin Prize for songwriting, executive producer Ken Ehrlich had an early epiphany about where Marcus Mumford’s cover of “Carey” should go. “During the rehearsal, it was obvious to me: that was the opening number.” As you watch the remainder of “Joni Mitchell: The Library of Congress Gershwin Prize for Popular Song,” though — as it premieres on PBS tonight, and is available thereafter for streaming on PBS.org and the PBS app — you won’t see Mumford disappearing from the stage for very many extended periods. Mumford has been part of the parties at Mitchell’s home the last couple of years, and participated in the “Joni jam” at the Newport Folk Festival last summer, so he is well familiar with her and her catalog at this point. And so, as Ehrlich explains it, “When I reached out to him, it probably wasn’t a half hour before he got back to me and said, ‘Of course I’d love to do this.’ And then he quickly followed with: ‘Can I play with the band?’ And he became the resident percussionist, which I didn’t have.
