Good news: Steve Harvey actually likes Kenan Thompson's "SNL" impersonation of him. Now, at least. During a 2020 comedy round table with The Hollywood Reporter, Thompson spoke about the reaction of celebrities who'd reached out to him over his "SNL" sketches. "It's usually pretty positive," said Thompson. "I mean, Steve wasn't overly excited about it in the beginning, but he grew to love it. I don't do it out of any malice." As for how he knew that Harvey wasn't always a fan? "[Harvey] told me in different ways or he'd say it on his radio show and then people would call me and be like, 'Hey, Steve Harvey's talking about you this morning on the radio,'" shared Thompson. "And I'd be like, 'All right, well, I'm sure he'll settle down once he realizes that I'm not attacking him.'"
Thompson echoed similar sentiments during an appearance on the "SmartLess" podcast. "Steve Harvey didn't love [my impersonation] in the beginning," Thompson shared, adding, "I know him, so he would definitely send messages through mutual friends or just through the press. Like 'Tell the little fat boy to knock it off.'"
