Regina King made her Saturday Night Live debut this weekend, and no one was more excited than Kenan Thompson. As the actress talked about being nervous for her first-time hosting gig, Thompson stood by her side for support. With each new sentence King uttered, Thompson acted as the ultimate hype man as he told the audience to make some noise and shouted out her feature directorial debut for One Night in Miami. “You better recognize! She got nominated for a Golden Glis-obe, baby!” he proclaiming alluding to her recent Golden Globe nomination. There’s certainly nothing like a blown horn and an excited crowd to get you excited for your first SNL episode. Watch King’s full monologue above.
