When I Was Your Age: Life Lessons, Funny Stories and Questionable Parenting Advice from a Professional Clown by Kenan Thompson

emotional funny lighthearted reflective slow-paced

4.0

So many people know Kenan Thompson as the hilarious SNL comic, but that is only the tip of the iceberg. In this memoir, he brings not only the laughs and SNL tidbits, but he gets real and emotional with his childhood as an actor, growing up as a Black man and his life in Black culture, the setbacks he faced in his career, and becoming a proud father of 2 girls. I could have used more SNL stories, but I also see why he wanted to focus on other aspects of his life outside of SNL. Of course I listened on audio and don’t think there’s any other way!
