This year’s edition is also set to feature appearances from Nate Bargatze, Mookie Betts, Kenny G, Blake Griffin, Jon Hamm, Jonquel Jones, Seth Meyers, mgk, and Rashida ‘Sheedz’ Olayiwola,

Thompson, of course, is Saturday Night Live’s longest-tenured cast member, having joined the show in 2003.
“We’re back baby,” Hart said in a statement. “It’s been a wild year, and we are going to end it with a BANG. Get ready for another season of Back That Year Up with me and Kenan–the holidays wouldn’t be the same without us!”
“The best time of year is here,” Thompson added. “Kev and I are wrapping up a memorable 2024 with jokes, laughs and of course, some of our incredible celebrity friends. You don’t want to miss this one!”
Thompson, of course, is the longest tenured cast member of Saturday Night Live, having joined the show in 2003. His recent work outside SNL includes 2023’s Good Burger 2 and his sitcom Kenan, which aired on NBC from 2021-2023.
