Kenan Thompson is supportive of college protests as long as they don’t involve his daughter in ‘SNL’ cold open

In the latest "Saturday Night Live" episode, cast members portrayed parents of NYC college students involved in protests. Kenan Thompson played a father supportive of protests in general but resistant to his own daughter participating. Amidst humorous remarks about his efforts to fund her expensive Columbia tuition, the sketch highlighted the broader context of significant protests at Columbia University, where many were arrested, including individuals not affiliated with the institution.
