Kenan Thompson Interview

Before Now Playing Podcast, there was Snakes on a Podcast.

Hosted by Arnie and Marjorie, this five-episode limited series chronicled the internet phenomenon that was Snakes on a Plane in real time. From roundtable interviews at San Diego Comic-Con to an opening-night theatrical review, this was the show where it all began.

Interview Episode 1 – Kenan Thompson

Before the snakes hit the cabin, Arnie and Marjorie sat down at Comic-Con with Kenan Thompson, fresh off the plane and still rocking his shades. Best known for Saturday Night Live, Thompson talks about joining the cast of Snakes on a Plane, surviving the chaos, and what it’s like acting opposite a cabin full of CGI serpents. Is he afraid of snakes? Did he know he was signing on to an internet legend? And how does one prepare to battle reptiles at 30,000 feet? The answers are as laid-back and funny as you’d expect.
