‘SNL’ star Kenan Thompson surprises cops while filming ‘Good Burger 2’ in Rhode Island
Now that’s a good breakfast!
Longtime “SNL” star Kenan Thompson took a break from filming “Good Burger 2” in Rhode Island on Saturday to surprise local cops with a delivery of coffee and donuts.
Thompson, 45, and Newport Mayor Xaykham Khamsyvoravong stopped by the Newport Police Department with the morning snacks and posed for pictures with the officers.
Cops thanked the Emmys host and the politician on Facebook.
The officers admitted that they do indeed “really do love coffee and donuts.”
“This morning at shift change the late watch and day watch Officers were surprised by a couple visitors!” the cops wrote on social media.
“Mayor Xay Khamsyvoravong and actor/comedian Kenan Thompson stopped in with some coffee and donuts (yes we really do love coffee and donuts).”
They added: “Thompson is in Rhode Island during the filming of the new Good Burger movie and was nice enough to stop and hang out some of the guys and girls from NPD!”
‘SNL’ is among the many scripted television shows currently not in production due to the long Writers Guild of America strike, which is approaching its third week.
“Good Burger 2” is a long-awaited follow-up to the 1997 cult classic starring Thompson and Kel Mitchell.
