Kenan Thompson Breaks Silence on Nickelodeon Allegations

Nickelodeon alum Kenan Thompson has weighed in on the disturbing allegations made in ID’s Quiet on Set docuseries, which spotlights accounts of sexism, racism, discrimination, and abuse at the kids’ network—much of which is tied to show creator Dan Schneider.

While appearing on The Tamron Hall Show this week, the Saturday Night Live star was asked for his thoughts on the explosive series, which is set to drop a bonus episode next month. “It’s a tough subject, you know,” Thompson said. “It’s tough for me because like, I can’t really speak on things that I never witnessed.”

Thompson started his career as a kid actor on Nickelodeon, starring in the first five seasons of the Schneider-created comedy variety show All That. He then starred in his own show on Nick, Kenan & Kel, alongside Kel Mitchell. The pair went on to star in the network’s hit movie Good Burger, which was just rebooted last year.
