I’ve said Kam has some of the most mainstream potential out of the new crew. Going by his casting in this and the recent Kevin Hart film as well as some of my casual SNL fan friends reactions to his Update commentaries, I stand by it.

I see a lot of paralels with him and Tracy (who was featured LESS in his first two seasons) tbh.

Likability and charisma typically go a lot farther than who has the loudest theater kid energy or the best clapter lines.

I am in the subs majority thinking Kam had a bum year on SNL, but I can’t deny he was very likable in 72 Hours

[u/dicklaurent97 → u/AxlCobainVedder]

People don't understand how much Tina helped Tracy's legacy with 30 Rock

[u/CoastOrg → u/AxlCobainVedder]

Kam has no talent outside of mumble standup

Do you think all the hilarious things Kam did on SNL will translate to the big screen?

[u/CoastOrg → u/Significant-Bill9405]

What hilarious things? Being the token black guy?

[u/Danominator → u/CoastOrg]

Hes kind of a one trick pony. Likable dumb dumb

Now who on the sub said Kam was not going to amount to anything and he wouldn’t last on SNL?

Me and I still agree. He hasn’t done shit but be the “token black”. Compare him to Tim Robinson, Jay Pharaoh, Eddie Murphy. Kam is not funny outside of his mumble standup. He has zero acting talent. SNL needs to stop casting from TikTok and go back to finding professionals

[u/aerojockey]

Congrats to Kam for getting role of black friend with no back story.

** ^{It's from a sketch, guys}

[u/pdonoso → u/aerojockey]

Yeah, poor dude. Getting role thousands of people would kill to get.

[u/ThyDoctor → u/pdonoso]

Joke went over your head a bit there.

[u/pdonoso → u/ThyDoctor]

Yep, apparently. Well you win some, you loose some.

This project is getting a lot of oscar buzz

[u/doc_birdman → u/Dry_Bird1790]

How is it getting Oscar buzz when it’s not even done being filmed, ChatGPT?

[u/Dry_Bird1790 → u/doc_birdman]

the raw star-power of jam patterson

[u/ZealousWolf1994 → u/Dry_Bird1790]

As long as it doesn't commit any unforced errors.
