He always looks like he's about to crack up during all of his SNL skits. It annoys me. Why can't he get into character and stay there, instead of always having that quivering smirk on his face??
Life's a garden. Dig it.

He mouths other people's lines too. I can't figure out how he ended up on the show let alone how he's still there.

I will say he has improved a lot. I think he has it in him.

He is the worst actor EVER. He does always have that STUPID idiotic grin on his face - quivering smirk is a perfect description of his stupid face.

I'd settle for seeing an entire episode of SNL where he doesn't dress like a woman at least once.

Kenan is just not a trained actor. He never took real/serious classes about acting or was in live theater where he learned how to stay in character.
Chris Parnell on the other hand was 100% solid with staying in character on SNL!
