And of course, judging form the photo above, being the comedic stylist he is, who would know better than him?

No doubt you’ve heard about the recent controversy over Saturday
Night Live’s predominantly white newest cast members, and the show’s overall lack of diversity. Particularly, the lack of black women in the cast. 

Even cast member Jay Pharaoh has openly questioned SNL’s lack of black women cast members on the
show, saying that the producers “need to pay attention.”

However, fellow cast member Kenan Thompson feels differently and said in a new interview with TV
Guide that the diversity problem on SNL is due to the “lack of quality black female
comedians.”

As he says in the interview: “It’s
just a tough part of the business. Like in auditions, they just never find ones
that are ready.“

And of course being the comedy genius that he is, he
would know

But what happens if the show needs a female cast member
to impersonate someone on the show such as Michelle
Obama? Thomson responded: “I don’t know. We just haven’t done
them. That’s what I’m saying. Maybe Jay Pharaoh will do it or something, but
even he doesn’t really want to do it.“

Yeah, it just might be possible that Pharaoh would have a
problem being in drag, playing the First Lady, wouldn’t you think?

However, Thompson thinks the new cast members on the
show have been great so far, adding: “They’re
all contributing in different ways I think. They’ve been doing great job so
far. They’re all very, very smart and talented, so that’s how it is. That’s the
kind of people I guess that get the job.“
