Kenan Thompson BREAKS SILENCE On ‘Quiet On Set’ Documentary

Kenan Thompson is breaking his silence on the bombshell “Quiet On Set: The Dark Side Of Kids TV” documentary. The “SNL” star appeared on the March 27 episode of the "Tamron Hall Show” in which he spoke about his experience as a child actor who worked on Nickelodeon, starring in staple shows like “All That” and “Kenan and Kel.” “It's tough for me because I can't really speak on things that I've never witnessed,” Kenan told Tamron, later adding, “I wasn’t really aware of a lot of it, but my heart goes out to anybody that’s been victimized or their families.”

“Investigate more!”

My man! Good for Kenan to speak out like that.

Why is everyone more outraged at Dan than at Brian Peck. A toxic work environment does not compare to what Brian Peck did. Dan lost his career. Brian went to jail for a few months and then got a nice cushy job at Disney. What’s wrong with this picture.

[Chatterbox-]

You can tell that Keenan is really pained by the abuse his fellow child actors endured. There needs to be more justice towards this sick child abuse and hostility.

[RachelCastellano]

Dan is NOT sorry. The only thing he “may be” sorry about is getting caught. 😐

[AvengedHate]

I feel like Keenan has worded the “I didn’t see it I didn’t know” the best. He actually sounds genuine like idk how to explain it

[oldschoolel]

I don't believe I have ever seen another successful former child actor handle such a sensitive issue with such tact, poise, and candor. No attacks. No denials. The only other former Nick star to come close would be Jennette McCurdy. She tackled her experience with the same, but obviously had a very different experience from Kenan. Josh Peck was quick to jump to attacks, until recently. The cast of Boy Meets World who have a podcast, only recently expressed sorrow about support for Brian Peck. - How convenient. Most of these former child stars have avoided the conversation. Kudos to K.T.

Dan's not sorry about what he did and the trauma he caused, he's sorry that his dirty laundry is public. That apology is nothing more than damage control.

Good for Kenan for speaking out in the defense of the victims!

[livingdeadgirl]

I love that he spoke up for Amanda. I don't think anyone else really has.

[SuperRIllustrations]

Kenan showed more empathy, compassion, and actual hurt in his interview than Dan did with his.
No surprise, there....

[amarie]

his voice cracking when he said, “how dare you” got me 😞

[raqueltorres]

BTW: Keenan knows that there are more stories about the abuse that is happening with Nickelodeon. That’s why he said, “Investigate more.”

[Brunomgonzalez]

The one reaction that really got me was Nancy Sullivan. She played Drake's mom on Drake & Josh and you could feel the heartbreak in her post for him.

I am glad that Kenan said to investigate more. That means Kenan doesn't trust Dan or Nickelodeon anymore. I hope that Kel speaks out, too. In the mean time episode 5 and 6 of Quite On Set will air next week Sunday on April 7th. Thank you, Kenan, for telling them to investigate more. These kids deserve more #JusticeForTheNickKids #JFTNK

Love this dude. No show ever made me laugh harder as a young kid than Kenan and Kel. Such a big part of my childhood

[bwines]

I adore that Keenan found something he loved at such a young age, was great at it, stayed on track, and has been able to do basically the same thing throughout his whole life. Watching him as a child on All That and now as an adult on SNL feels like we grew up together. Like he’s always been a friendly, non problematic, drama free, chill friend that’s always there. I hope he knows how loved he is.

[Aaron-unjo]

There was more emotion in Kenna’s eyes than Dan’s, and Kenan wasn’t even there! That says soooo much.

[mickyvalenz]

“Investigate more” that makes me feel he knows stuff but can’t say anything negative

[clarisahernandez]

Keenan is so pained that people experienced abuse. I'm tearing up.

[galaxygirl]

Keenan phrased his sympathy very well. Because there are actors like Josh Peck who make it seem that just because they didn't experience it, it is a lie; defending Dan and calling the victims liars

[phillstanford]

Keenan and Kel and All That WAS my childhood
