SNL cast member Kenan Thompson spoke openly about his disdain former boss Bill Cosby. The All That star spoke at the University of
Pittsburgh last night about how someone who had once been the source of comedic
influence (Cosby) had transformed into a “monster.” The two worked together on
the live-action Fat Albert movie that starred Thompson and was produced by
Cosby. A Redditor, who went to the event
and is a student at the school, elaborated on what he said:
So like, he started
by talking about actually not getting the role of Fat Albert, but it then went
into development hell for two years. After (or during, I can’t remember) his
first season of SNL, he got the gig. He then talked about an odd remark Cosby
made to him while filming, something like, “So Cosby pulled me aside and said
that after the movie comes out, it’ll be so hard to keep the women off you,
you’ll need two dicks.” And then he brought, like, his mom to see Cosby and he
was creepy and bounced her on his lap and said something about horse riding
like a kiddie.
Kenan got pretty
real and just talked about what it feels like to have someone go from so
commonly liked to being a piece of shit. He, like so many others, noticed kind
of odd behavior awhile ago and just never put it all together. He said he
wished someone had a recording or something so the guy can go to jail.
Thompson also reflected on his nostalgic Nickelodeon days and
smoking weed with Snoop Dog and Mike Tyson according the university’s student
ran newspaper.
