Thompson chatted with ET about his 'Saturday Night Live' future at the 2022 Apollo Spring Benefit in New York City.
."I know we at least trying to get to the 50th, 'cause that's gonna be a special year, you know what I mean? And then after that, it's like, I don't know exactly how long I can do it." in its 47th season, that means Thompson will have to stick around for 3 more seasons to hit that major milestone, but he's already hit one of his own, earning the title of the longest-running cast member in the show's storied history.
"I think you can just look at that dude's resume and tell, but any time you mention Tyler Perry to anybody, they know who he is, so, that's an accomplishment just in itself, but the man [has] really done kind of, the dream, which is building it from scratch and also building an empire on top of that and he just keeps going," Thompson said of the actor, director and playwright.
Perry's career is not the only thing that's history-making at Apollo's Spring Benefit, the theatre itself is pretty awe-inspiring in itself.
