For\u00a0<\/span>Kenan Thompson<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0<\/span>Kel Mitchell<\/a>, filming <\/span>Good Burger 2<\/em><\/a>\u00a0felt like a hangout session, especially when their former co-stars were also involved.<\/span><\/p>\n Speaking to ET at the Park Lane Hotel in New York City ahead of the sequel’s premiere on Paramount+, Thompson and Mitchell, both 45, shared that the new project, as Thompson tells it, “didn’t really feel like work.”<\/span><\/p>\n “Just good times,” Thompson added. “It was just a big hangout day, you know what I’m saying?”<\/span><\/p>\n It was back in March while on <\/span>The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon<\/span><\/em> when Thompson and Mitchell officially confirmed that <\/span>Good Burger 2<\/span><\/em> was a go. The sequel to the 1997 hit comedy not only reunites Thompson and Mitchell but also some of their <\/span>All That<\/span><\/em> co-stars, including Lori Beth Denberg as Connie Muldoon and Josh Server as Fizz.<\/span><\/p>\n “Lori Beth has the biggest monologue in the film and got it every time,” Mitchell raved about his co-star. “Server is in the building.”<\/span><\/p>\n “We’ve been rocking for years, so it’s been awesome,” Thompson added. “It wasn’t so much reuniting. We’ve been around each other, but this is like a reuniting for the audience to see us all together is what it is. It’s for ya’ll.”<\/span><\/p>\n All That<\/span><\/em>, of course, is the sketch comedy responsible for <\/span>Good Burger<\/span><\/em>. For years, fans wanted a sequel but nothing came about. Then in 2018, the buzz started when Thompson reunited with Mitchell on <\/span>The Tonight Show<\/span><\/em>,\u00a0throwing it back to the skit the Nickelodeon teen comedy duo performed on the ensemble sketch show, before breaking off to their own series,\u00a0<\/span>Kenan and Kel<\/span><\/em>, in 1996.<\/span><\/p>\n Then in 2022,\u00a0Thompson and Mitchell pulled off an epic\u00a0<\/span>Good Burger<\/em>\u00a0reunion<\/a>\u00a0at the\u00a0<\/span>Emmy Awards<\/a>, where Thompson was the host.\u00a0Midway through the show, the <\/span>SNL<\/span><\/em> star wandered over to the bar for one of the ceremony’s comedic interludes, where a man just so happened to be slumped over on the bar, apparently passed out.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n “Excuse me, sir, can we get you a drink or something?” Thompson asked, as Mitchell sat up and smiled brightly.<\/span><\/p>\n “You know what,\u00a0can I get a Good Burger?” he asked, as an exuberant Thompson hugged him, and the pair jumped around excitedly.<\/span><\/p>\n On the heels of the sequel premiering Nov. 22 on Paramount+, Thompson and Mitchell walked down memory lane and recalled meeting for the first time on <\/span>All That<\/span><\/em>\u00a0some three decades ago, and they shared their first impressions of each other. Mitchell recalled Thompson being “cool, ’cause he had rollerblades on” as well as his iconic now-retro Mighty Ducks jersey.<\/span><\/p>\n “I was like, man, family, like this is my brother. You my brother, man,” Mitchell said, to which Thompson replied with, “It was an immediate bond because I was happy to see another — not to get racial — another Black face, you know what I’m saying?”<\/span><\/p>\n “Yeah, facts,” Mitchell responded.<\/span><\/p>\n “Somebody that I could actually relate to in unknown kind of territory ’cause I’d never been on a TV show before,” Thompson continued. “We had very similar backgrounds. It just seemed like we were up at very similar times in our lives and careers; similar families, similar cities. We just seemed like similar cats.”<\/span><\/p>\n
