00:00He's been mad at me for that. So my bad, bro. You know what I'm saying? I didn't think he was going to do it like that.

00:05Kenan Thompson is clearing the air after Samuel L. Jackson claimed the SNL star got him banned from the show.

00:26I want to thank my guest, the incredible Samuel L. Jackson.

00:29Man, hey! Also! Come on, Sam!

00:36Jackson lightheartedly claimed to Jones that Thompson is the reason he's now banned from the show,

00:41saying he didn't cut me off soon enough and I said the forbidden word on television.

00:52He dropped the F-bomb on the show, but he says I was supposed to cut him off before that.

00:56But the cue card, it was just an F on the cue card. It wasn't like the whole word.

01:00Oh, yeah.

01:00Thompson said the first time may have been no harm done.
