Kenan Thompson reunites with his ‘Good Burger’ co-star Kel Mitchell at the Emmys

Kenan and Kel reunited at the Emmy Awards on Monday (12 September).

Kenan Thompson was hosting the 74th Primetime Emmy Awards when he introduced his 1990s Kenan & Kel sitcom partner, Kel Mitchell.

Thompson was filming a bartending skit with Kumail Nanjiani when he came across a man slumped face down on the bar.

The man, of course, turned out to be Mitchell who raised his head and asked: ‘Can I get a Good Burger?’

Good Burger was the eponymous, fictional restaurant from the 1997 film starring the comedy duo based on the comedy sketch of the same name on the Nickelodeon series All That.

“Truly warms my millennial heart to know that Kenan and Kel remain friends all these years later,” writer Aisha Harris tweeted in reaction to the moment.

“I’ll never be too old to not get excited for Kenan and Kel,” wrote journalist Rilwan Balogun.

While another fan tweeted: “And all the millennials rejoiced and said ‘welcome to good burger, home of the good burger, can I take your order?’ Kenan and Kel are you serious?!?!?”

The ceremony drew strong reactions from fans, with some mocking its “atrocious” opening dance sequence to Friends and Law and Order: SVU theme songs.

And Thompson wasted no time cracking a joke about Leonardo DiCaprio’s relationship history.

Abbott Elementary star Sheryl Lee Ralph also stunned the crowd by singing “Endangered Species” in her acceptance speech.

Succession writer Jessie Armstrong’s speech, meanwhile, drew audible winces from the crowd over his King Charles comments.
