As a Black graduating student at Columbia, you sound JUST like my parents 😂 lol I feel seen
Ikr. It feels that the Parental side of the Protests has yet to be fully covered. Most didn't work their ass off for their kids to be out there protesting instead of being in the classroom.
"Protest, advocate, change the world! But you better finish your damn education before any of that. We didn't save up all this money to see you get a rap sheet before you graduate." - What I'd imagine my own parents saying to me.
But congratulations on graduating this year! I hope you do great things in your field!
Congratulations 👏🏾 🎊...so is my son, Nkozi...keep going 💪🏾💪🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾We've expressed the same things to him. Looking forward to Black Graduation.
Congratulations 🎉 My daughter is graduating also with her Masters.
Congratulations my son is also graduating 🎊 from engineering school with a bachelor's in applied physics black excellence 🎉🎉
Well they cancelled the main commencement, but I'm certain the individuals colleges will have theirs, and aren't those the ones where you walk anyway?
Please keep us posted on Alexis Vanessa and her future endeavors. I feel invested now.
Same! We are going to need updates. 😂
😹😹😹
She's using her right of free speech to protest as she should be.
I want to go to graduation too!
🤣💯💯💯🤣
And as a black mom with a student on a campus where they're protesting this is EXACTLY me and her dad!😂
Me too I sent my son some allergy medicine he can't even get it from the mail room cuz everything is locked down I'm pissed
The students protesting are the real heroes and the real human beings
We'll know that they are protesting because these schools donate money to Israel. That's money YOU PAY your kids tuition.
@@GNW-so4ykthey sure are
Yeah can sure ad $sht know there's a group waiting and ready to deny and control access to college in a way we thought dead, and unimagined. Free speech
We he said "I pay $68k a year for her to go to Columbia during COVID and she was taking zoom classes" I felt that😔
In the future classes will be lecture by past professors through Ai.
She was in his house taking Zoom classes lol
I didn't because I would never waste my Loot like that anyway
I felt that for a lot of kids… should have taken a GAP year.
@@coletrain Yes, plus they should have gone to a more affordable school. Ivy League schools are scams and no better than cheaper places.
"Cause I'll tell you what ain't free, Columbia." Go Kenan! 😂😂😂🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻
I don't get why Kenan is popular. I hate him!
@@bocawilliams9200If you didn't get the peoples court sketch then that makes sense.
@@bocawilliams9200 That's disappointing.
@@roundtwo3321 He plays the same character over and over again. Occasionally he is a decent supporting character but not a main one. He's also been at SNL for like 20 years because he probably can't get a better gig. I look at SNL like high school or college and eventually the stars "graduate" and move on. Kenan is like that 8th year senior in college who is always trying to prey upon freshmen.
@@bocawilliams9200wow. Please go outside and touch some grass ok?
Girl, you been Black your whole lfe. You know what it is. ✊🏿🤣
" TEACH " !!!
😂😂😂
You're damn skippy it is!😂😂
I wish he said "If you don't know by now, nobody's going to teach you" 😂
All I know is Alexis Vanessa Roberts better graduate 😂😂😂
oKAY? 🤣
And change the world
Said EVERY BLACK PARENT EVER !!!! 🤣
Heard they just cancelled this today...uh-oh....he's going to be mad!
Finally someone represents parents like my dad!!! My dad is like 'you wanna go protest? Nonsense. You better go to class'.
When the dad is not a human being you don’t expect anything good from a kid
Representing psychopaths
@@GNW-so4yk "When the dad is not a human being you don’t expect anything good from a kid" -- you know.. this is exactly why most people do not support these protests, right? People like you.
@@GNW-so4ykGNW aka GONE NEFARIOUSLY WOKE. Day one President Trump will ask the NIH to develop a TDS vaccine for you.
Protest while you can
“I bounty hunt whenever possible” 😂😂😂
that man loves his kids
And sell Avon !!!!!!
Free the oppressed!
We will all be cheering for Alexa Vanessa Robinson!
😂 hahahahaha
As a parent of a current 2024 Columbia graduate ....All of the statements from Mr. Roberts are FACTS, except tuition isn't 68k...it's leaning more on the 90k end, and you better believe, I'm feeling all this and more. My baby has been robbed of both his graduations. HS and College. He was valedictorian of his HS and never got the chance to complete his speech or walk in a ceremony. Now this, and he wasn't protesting, he was in his brownstone, because-"AIN'T NOBODY GOT TIME FOR THAT". Just give him his degree, BYE 👋🏾👋🏾👋🏾✌🏾✌🏾✌🏾 Thanks Keenan- you nailed this skit👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾🥲
FELT
Prayers for your family. As a parent, I would be so upset right now. I'm too poor for Columbia, but the protests at my local state college just started. Thankfully, they were able to shut it down with sprinklers and bicicle cops, but still. It's wild out there right now.
I'm a Columbia graduate. I'm so sorry to hear that. Congratulations to your son - hard work pays off. Being a terrorist zombie in a tent does not.
Are you really that indifferent to Palestinians?
@@yomamasofat77 Couldn't care less.
Let me guess - you learned there is a place called the ME back in October.
Keenan is probably 95% of parents of Columbia students.
Black Parents*
@@drphot6050 All parents!
Especially black parents
All the black ones. They know the desl, the true Hollywood story. Jackson State forgotten or never even acknowledged, Kent State immortalized.
@@roamiblu1833 Name one Anita Baker song
We need an Alexis Vanessa Robert's character ASAP! We need to see him in his church clothes with his 3 pumps of Cool Water! 😂😂😂😂
Oh yes! I hope there's a part 2.
Yes!! 🙌🏾 😂
I kept waiting for Punkie!
Applied history of the BET awards 😂😂
pretty sure he could teach that class lol
If he's paying for that, he was already throwing his money away.
I'm sure fox news will pretend that's a real class now.
@@VoodooV1 it probably is or something closely related, someone probably for african american studies d submitted that subject as a thesis an Aced it.
@DoWaTiWaNnA - that one got me, too! 😂
“Let me find out she is in one of them damn tents instead of the Dorm that I am paying for!”🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
😅
As a senior getting ready to graduate college- he spoke to my soul when he was saying she started during covid so she better walk 😭😭 i know thats right!
Congratulations! I'm praying you get to walk. 🙏💕
Wow, bonkers anxiety jammed 4 years passed already?!! Covid, Election turmoil, Special Military Mission, escalation of cruelty and violence in the Holy Land, police crack down on anti-war protests......it's exhausting!
Me too. I've emailed the president and governor of our state in NH to show how much we don't want the same thing to happen at UNH
Y’all deserve your walk.
"Applied history of the BET awards" had me dying 😂😂😂 " she's been black her whole life" priceless ... He is so hilarious...
The whole life...dont play
Not funny at all. SNL should be more daring like they used to be, and these people are ruclips.net/video/rbfccVBo9tE/видео.htmlsi=SL-E0U-wkP7bkzJX
How is it not anti-semitic to have snipers aim at Jewish American students who are peacefully protesting against the systematic genocide of Palestinians in Gaza?
Hollering at this accuracy cause thats how my dad would’ve been if interviewed 😂😂😂 all blasting the full government name lol
Yep! And correctly so.
Yup Latinos add at least four generations to the end of the last name and you know you’re in serious trouble.
@@lauralarrabee7870 facts lmbo
Alexis Vanessa Roberts is 100% protesting.
Yeah I was waiting for the punchline where a video was shown with her shouting her name while being dragged away by the campus police
The hell she is 😂
As she should be.
@@supershinigami1 Absolutely no one should be protesting!
@@MatthewTheWandererWhy is that? Is it because YOU don’t agree with them? Sad
Everyone in this cold open was super nervous about this subject except for my man Kenan
you understand what a skit is, right?
or they just can't act
4:32 "three pumps of cool water, 98 Ford explorer blasting Anita baker" -- dude, this is literally my next-door neighbor 😂 ❤
I like Anita Baker and am as white as snow. BTW, what's wrong with a Ford Explorer?
@@Easy-Eight You must be the neighbor.
Smelling good as a mug 🤣🤣☠☠
My husband wore that back in the 90's
@@sl6574 Interesting that you didn't say Ex-husband.
Kenan been making me laugh since elementary school nickelodeon and still making me laugh today. He's the best. 👌
Forreal man. He's Been there and funny my entire life
I completely agree, he's Atlanta through and through. I ❤️ it because I am also from the south.
I just made the connection! Omg
I hope he never leaves 😭😭
"Sister Girl" 😂
😂😅😂
🤣🤣🤣🤣 My daughter goes to Columbia, and all I can say is, "What HE said!"
And yes, I do have a bottle of Cool Water in my rotation. 😆
Amazing haha
"Daddy, I just got arrested for protesting at Columbia."
"New phone, who dis?"
Definitely read this as "prostituting." 🙃 Going to my room now.
I have that for spam callers, in the voice of ICE-T.
"you're watching ny1 because your wifi is down" 🤣🤣💀 thats accurate
Always two and sometimes three names! That’s how you know Dad ain’t playin.
We gave my daughter three names, all after prominent black women. She is going to be somebody lol.
@@cbwavy Sounds like you didn't let her have a chance at being herself.
@@TheBlarggle yeah, maybe I shouldn't have named my daughter at all...
@@cbwavysomebody in jail😂😂
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Kenan’s “What’s that now” never gets old 😂
That man said exactly what’s on every parents mind right now.
“If she don’t walk, Columbia will be on the news for something else!”
that part!
That was funny.
For American viewers, we all know what that means
That part! 😂
Three pumps of cool water cologne, smelling good as a mug 😂
still my go to. im almost 50 lol
Ha. I love Cool Water.
Dang,been using cool water for 20 years. Might be time for a change I guess🤦
@@shawnweir8426Nah there's a good reason why so many of us still use it, other people love it. Keep goin'
And he gotta drive a 98 explorer so he can afford to have his kid at an expensive school.
Kenan has been playing these characters since '95 and makes it land every time. The only gem we can speak of from that 90s nickelodeon era!!
You know what ain’t free?? Columbia 😂😭😂😭😂😭😂
Keenan remains one of the reasons why I still watch SNL😊
Kenan really has some welcome insight. I know a LOT of parents who say their child BETTER be in their dorm that's paid for and studying!
Only the elites can afford to throw away $$$$ invested in Ivy degree.
I plan on hooting and hollering when they say their name even though I was specifically told to wait till the end." There's always that family at graduations. (or two or three)
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
That sketch would have BOMBED without Keenan
Alexis Vanessa Roberts ain't crazy ! 🤣 He had so many great lines in this I'm sorry I fell asleep before it came on.
Kenan's going all out in this 😆
The new Eddie Murphy? 😅
This skit punches down. No edgy courage here. Just pure propaganda.
@@edbenti5007 Looks like we found the triggered Hamas supporter...🤡
@@edbenti5007lighten up Francis
His final year? leaving it all out on the court.
I don't think anyone gives Michael Longfellow enough credit, his delivery is great. "Yeah.. I feel you, Alphonse"
"she know what it is" please 🤣
culturally, some of this seemed to go over heads in the live audience but iiiiii had a great time 😂
Y’all’s kids …. They ain’t my kids !! ❤❤❤
My favorite thing about Kenan is how he’s constantly trying not to laugh at himself and how funny he thinks the whole thing is. Just never, ever really able to hold character. Like a true comedian and actor.
This show better never let him go. ♡♡♡
@@carinmiller9211 that would be a sad, sad day!
@@carinmiller9211 I’m glad you’re a fan, but just to be clear, he sucks. A comic actor shouldn’t constantly be on the verge of breaking the way he is
Bounty hunting whenever possible 😂
"You're watching NY1, because your wifi is down..." 😂
When he said the 98 Ford Explorer tho! Bumping Anita Baker… that’s a REAL THANG. 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾❤️😆🤣😂
Keenan is a absolute comedic treasure!
Go back and listen to how he pronounced tuition 😂. It was more like ‘tushion’ 😂 Kenan you a mess.
That's the kind of thing that makes his comedy priceless.
I guffawed at that
Kenan's low key a legend. I am obsoosed. Officially perfooction.
Alexis Vanessa better not be in one of them tents instead of the dorm room LMFAO😂
This is a classic and good representation of many black sentiments lol
My niece and nephew are graduating and what a crazy college experience they’ve had. Keenan nailed it with tuition costs and zoom at the house
this man!!! Kenan is 100% on point!
they have to bring Leslie Jones back to do a cameo as the mother of Alexis Vanessa (from the Meet Your 2nd Wife skit).
How many daughters will be named “Alexa Vanessa” after this clip.😂
😂
*”that’s good for y’all’s kids” 😂😂😂 - MELL DUNEY 616*
This cold open felt like it was a replacement for a sketch they dropped, but Kenan carried it
probably something about the drumpf trial that didn't work well in rehearsal or something if I were to guess
It felt like SNL avoiding the reason for the student protests at Columbia.
#GazaGenocide
@@VictorianDadNah, it felt like SNL hitting the nail on the head with the ridiculosity and ludicrousness of these staged "student" protests.
@@spevman do you think the protests are not made up of college students? Why the quotes?
@@hutchbailey2208he's one of those people who think that there are paid agitators out there, that the super-far left have been secretly planning these protests for months as part of a concerted effort to destabilize the country
or something like that, conspiracy etc etc
Once again, my man Kenan never fails to disappoint! He got me laughing throughout this whole cold open sketch! 😂 I hope he never leaves SNL, because no one knows how to do sketch comedy like him! 😊
"Never fails to disappoint' " ? DO you mean HE NEVER' DISAPPOINTS I have an English Degree. Please clear that up for me. I am sleepy! HOWEVER, KENAN IS THE GOAT❗❗❗ Hilarious......... Please give him more quality skits🙏🏽🙏🏽❗❗
@bonitahobbs2374 so is this what you do with an English degree? Usually I order food from English Majors
"never fails to disappoint" = "always succeeds in disappointing" = "always disappoints".
You meant, "never fails to delight", or something like that. In which case, I agree.
@@Aaronf187 No Senor, pero curiosity ??? Kudos. Por favor that is my least' degree!! Adios dinner orderer. Viya Con Dios Por favor. Buenos noches Senor.
@@zesty9815 Amen and thank you. WE must not agree with front being back and vice versa. I appreciate you! 👏🏼
Producers rarely get any love, and it seems like a fairly thankless job pulling together all the details that comprise a great show, so I wanted to mention that the soundtrack SNL uses as an intro for this kind of community-broadcast sketch is just perfect. Every time I hear that kind of staccato-rubato flute music, it evokes memories of a community-affairs program that was broadcast from a local affiliate in my hometown and, I imagine, all those that were based in other peoples' hometowns. 👌👏🏻💖
Respect! Music is so underrated as part of the whole hilarious package.
"Ima be in there, hooting and hollering after they explicitly told us to wait!"
I tell you what aint free: Columbia.
Free Columbia! ✊🤣
Free Columbia I Agree. But Columbian Gold always gave me a Headache. I Prefer Gorilla Glue #6...
OH, and Blue Alien...
@@markmower6507GG#4
🤣
"You been black yo whole life. You know what it is." 😂😂
I know he wasn't playing and my butt would be in class!
This skit sounds just like the conversations I have had with my daughter who is now a senior at UT! 😂😂😂
“Baby girl you been black your whole life, you know what it’s” Slayed 😂😂
Every college parent be like... yup.
The most alarming thing about this sketch is that Columbia is $68,000 per year. That's almost $10,000 MORE per year than the average American individual income. What a huge ripoff.
They have very generous private financial aid. Many students go for free.
@@shs7185 Well that's good at least.
@@TheMr02drop Not just good that's part of why it's so expensive. If your parents make $1M a year taking syphoning money from already low-income people, they can afford to pay for an extra student each year.
That's why I can't take Ivy League students seriously. They're pampered manbabies living off the wealth of their rich mommies and daddies.
American always amazes me. Fees have gone up since my time in college yen years ago. But my fees for both my B.A and PhD were less that 20,000 euro
The way he said "sixy Eight THOUSAND dollars" tickles me everytime!
"three pumps of Cool Water cologne" 😂😂😂😂😂
Kenan is the King. I will always stop what I was looking for if a Kenan clip drops in my feed.
You gotta love Kenan's old school slang... funniest part for me
Kenan said it all. I called my daughter and said the same thing.❤
Heidi plays the mom/wife/woman next door so very well. She's hilarious.
Keenan was killing it tonight
She got me out here paying $68 towel-sin (thousand) dollas 💸 let me find out she in a tent ⛺️ and not that dorm room I pay fo!!! LOL 😆 🤣 😂 😹
ABSOLUTELY on the money. LITERALLY. ON. THE. MONEY.
Clearly SNL was really afraid to make fun of this issue but they had to put something out there so they can say they did.
Jost got it right with the comparison to students rioting after sports team wins
@@kevinsix666 Jost compared a quiet and peaceful encampment of students on their own campus lawn to sports fan riots? That's ironic considering how much more violent the police have been towards the peaceful students.
@arlom5132 You morons must've thought the BLM protests back in 2020 were only peaceful too.
Then they shouldn’t have said anything at all. You can’t be afraid of your material as an artist. Maybe that’s why this felt so tone deaf and kind off for me
Very true @@arlom5132
He is the typical Black parent with a kid in college. He's going to graduate her himself. 😂😂😂
Thank You Keenan and SNL!
But, what is crazy is that Columbia is not $68K (that is tuition only), but $89K (for tuition, room and board)!!!
(So, congratulations, Alexis Vanessa must have gotten at least a partial scholarship.)
COLUMBIA: Estimated Expenses for the Academic Year
An itemized estimate of the cost of attending Columbia College for the 2023-2024 academic year of nine months is as follows:
Fees
FEE COST
Tuition $65,340
Mandatory Fees $3,060
Average Room and Board Cost $16,800
Books and Personal Expenses $3,742
Travel varies
Total $88,942 + Travel
There is an additional charge of $540 for new students who are required to attend Orientation.
😯🤯 yikes! more than I thought
right on point! "free this free that... but what ain't free, Columbia!" and I love Kenan's line ain't sleeping in homeless tent instead of the paid dorm!
Back in college, i remember saying to friends, "im not skipping class. I'm paying a lot of money for each class hour. You can throw your money away, but im going to class."
? You never skipped class?
Lamest flex ever
@@ScottSteilen there was one really bad professors that I skipped out on a few times and there were probably a hand full of times where something came up but primarily I was going deep in debt to be able to attend class so I did.
I paid my own way through it working three jobs darn right I didn't miss a class
At first I thought this was going exactly where I thought then for 15 seconds it had me fooled...then it went exactly where I thought it was going 😂 Missed a huge opportunity to show footage of Alexis Vanessa wildin out protesting on campus and Keenans reaction 😂
Yeah they kinda missed that this was all a build up to a punchline. Without the punchline it’s just kinda nothing
@@jasonmurdoc9533 they basically were putting down the protesters & thats all they wanted
Right
You really must want to be a skit writer.
This is screaming for a Part 2.
I feel like that’s Kenan’s first solo live from New York in a long time
LOL...that is that old school black dad right there!
The New School's annual tuition is about $30,000.
Hunter College's annual cost is $7,400.
Columbia's annual cost is $65,000.
Alphonso was making a point.
Kenan has such great comedic timing. With anyone else in that bit - it could have been a bust - but not with Kenan. Over and over again, with his timing and facial expressions, he has saved many SNL sketches that would have bombed without him.
Like the constant facial expression of trying not to break character and laugh at himself, from the very beginning of everything he does?
My husband and I both work full time and we don't even make $68,000 a year
I’m just over here engaged with Kenan talking to screen like, “ok, I know that’s right! Vanessa better go to class” 😂😂
Kenan’s comic genius is priceless. Hoping for Part 2 where Alexis Vanessa makes an appearance! 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
" Alexis Vanessa roberts" just sounds hilarious out of kenan"s mouth.
I have never heard my name used as a middle name before. All I can say is I am honored.
God bless kenan doesnt matter what lines you give him he always find a way to make it funny via his delivery.
Cause he's black
Rule 1 of protests: when asked, you weren't there
Kenan Thompson never fails,he always makes me laugh on his sketch’s on SNL,still hilarious 😆,he is a comedy genius & a legend! 😊
I don't blame Alphonse. All that money he's paying for her education.
I ❤️ black parents.
OMG this will be my husband my daughter is a Junior in college.
Keenan’s perspective was so on point🎯 ❤️❤️❤️
Other than Weekend Update, I very rarely laugh out loud at SNL. But I sure did at this. Great writing, great Kenan.
The way Kenan looked at the camera 😂😂
That was actually the funniest part of this whole skit
I didn’t want this to end lol
$68K a year for a College Degree?!
That’s almost $300,000 for a 4 year degree! That’s insane!
They should be protesting the High Cost of Education!
Remember that's if you only take 4 years.... if you fail a class....that just cost you another 15k-30k per class you fail
God Kenan is the best. This could be the entire show and id watch it.
Never heard tuition pronounced that way but I I love it
Kenan deserves an Emmy for this skit
Everyone was reading the teleprompter EXCEPT Kenan because it’s so accurate 😂
3:39 - “Little girl, you been black your whole life. You know what it is!”
😂😂🤣
