Oh man, we completely forgot how long we’ve loved Jussie Smollett!
Falling for that smile from an adult Jussie on Empire we didn’t even remember we’d grown up with it — because he was in The Mighty Ducks!

Kenan Thompson gave us all a reminder during his Tonight Show interview on Wednesday night. When Jimmy Fallon brought up the Disney classic, the SNL star took a moment to say:
“Speaking of, we should send some love to Jussie Smollett, ’cause he is a Mighty Duck. I thought about posting on Instagram, but you know I’m so new to it and I figured this a way bigger platform. So we’re sending a lot of love to the Smollett family. Sending a lot of love to the universe, man, because this kind of madness needs to stop!”
