Their dynamic chemistry led to the hit sitcom Kenan & Kel, which debuted in 1996, as well as the launch of the 1997 cult-classic movie Good Burger, featuring Kel's popular All That alter ego Ed, a sweet but far from brilliant fast-food cashier, and Kenan's new character Dexter.
The actors grew apart in the early 2000s before eventually becoming close again. Earlier this month Kel, 45, was hospitalized because a bulging disc in his back was pressing against a nerve and causing numbness and an inability to swallow. Now, he says, he's doing "a lot better," thanks, in part, to the support of Kenan, 45. "It's that guaranteed somebody's-got-your-back feeling at any given moment," Kenan says of their bond, which will flourish again onscreen with the Nov. 22 premiere of Good Burger 2 on Paramount+.
