Kenan Thompson Reveals Health Diagnosis After “Suffering in Silence” for Years

The comedian-actor, 46, who has been a cast member of Saturday Night Live for more than two decades, recently told People magazine that he first started experiencing painful heartburn, specifically after eating acidic foods, two years ago, so much so that it was impacting his SNL workdays.

The Good Burger 2 star said he tried to take over-the-counter medications, but that it “got to a point where that didn’t work anymore.”
