Kenan Thompson brought back All That's Pierre Escargot for the Paris Olympics, and it was glorious

Saturday Night Live legend Kenan Thompson deserves an Olympic gold medal for what he did on the Peacock Olympic Highlights show he hosts with Kevin Hart.

In what may well be the most pleasant surprise of the 2024 Paris Olympics (at least to the person writing this post), Thompson honored his sketch comedy history by bringing back his All That character Pierre Escargot.

The “Everyday French with Pierre Escargot” segments on All That were always hysterical, and Thompson bringing the character back while discussing this year’s Paris Olympics is just beyond delightful.

We’re not sure who convinced Thompson to do this, but you have our eternal gratitude. Between this and last year’s Good Burger sequel, 1990s nostalgists are thriving these days.
