On Friday, the legendary actor dropped by The Ellen DeGeneres Show for a chat with guest host Leslie Jones, during which he reaffirmed his allegation that Kenan Thompson is the main reason he hasn’t popped up on Saturday Night Live in nearly 10 years.

“Kenan got me banned from Saturday Night Live,” he told Jones. “He didn’t cut me off soon enough and I said the forbidden word on television. He was supposed to cut me off!” 

He was supposed to, out there,” Jones responded. “That’s what I told him, I was like, ‘If Sam was about to curse, you’re supposed to cut him off. You know, that’s how we do it.'”

Jones promised she would “scold him on that” after Jackson reinforced Thompson’s failure to cut him off in time, mentioning that “don’t nobody do Samuel like that.”
