Kenan & Kel's 'Falling Out' And Reconciliation Finally Explained!

Kenan Thompson is opening up about what actually went down between him and Kel Mitchell.

We all know their names — the comedy duo that made us giggle for YEARS with all their Nickelodeon classics like Kenan & Kel and All That, and now, most just lately their sequel to Good Burger. But for some time there, issues weren’t all rainbows and butterflies.

Over a decade in the past, the 2 had a falling out which led to the 2 going their separate methods to do particular person initiatives. In 2012, Kel even advised TMZ that Kenan “did not want to be seen” with him or have his title “mentioned around him.” News of the feud was heartbreaking to followers on the time — but additionally went unexplained for over a decade! And now, the 2 are again to being buds. So what precisely occurred in between?

Kenan stopped by Today on Monday to advertise his new memoir, When I Was Your Age: Life Lessons, Funny Stories & Questionable Parenting Advice from a Professional Clown, wherein he says he tells “the whole story from A to Z.” And that features his fallout with Kel! But the SNL star is giving us a bit prematurely. He defined to host Hoda Kotb concerning the friction:

“It was more of a separation that kind of grew into, you know, the traditional terms of what a falling out is, which is like, not a lot of communication.”

As for what particularly occurred, he dished:

“Originally, it was just us, you know, kind of looking for our own individualism, basically as adults to kind of just taking a breather from, you know, being a duo, because we both came into the game as individuals, and we were placed together because we worked so well together and all that.”

It type of appears like Kenan resented being regarded as Kenan & Kel — and wished to make a reputation of his personal!

The 45-year-old continued:

“Yeah, it was just the journeys of being adults and then, you know, time passes and more time passes and it just became ridiculous, and we were like, we didn’t even know. We don’t even remember what it was.”

But there was one dialog that modified every little thing…

He mentioned that in a cellphone name previous to Good Burger 2, the 2 each apologized to at least one one other and let issues simply be water beneath the bridge:

“When you have a real friendship, it was five minutes into the phone call we were back. It was like, what were we waiting on all this time? But, like, you just never really know until you actually have that talk. […] And it’s also time wasted, which is one of the biggest crimes I think you can do in life, is just waste time. So it feels so good to be back with my brother and [Good Burger 2] is doing well, we’re so appreciative, and looking forward to the next chapters.”

He added of working together with his good friend once more:
