SNL star Kenan Thompson gets a star on the Hollywood walk of fame

Kenan Thompson solidified his status as a showbiz icon as he received a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame on Thursday, August 11.

The entertainment legend, 44, was praised by the likes of his former Saturday Night Live co-star Leslie Jones, and was joined at the ceremony by his two daughters Georgia, eight, and Gianna, four. 

The Good Burger actor - who is set to host the 2022 Emmy Awards - could not hide his happiness as he posed alongside his little girls alongside his newly minted star. Just as the star was about to be unveiled, Kenan appeared on pins and needles as he pressed his hands together and waited for the big reveal.

Leslie, meanwhile, appeared to be capturing the whole thing on her phone. She wore a bright red dress, while Kenan looked smart in a navy blue suit and gold bow tie.

Once the star was fully unveiled, the actor proudly posed beside his honor. Check out the pics of him with his star below!
