The Kenan Thompson Stabilization Effect

Hello all you Correlationers!

Holy cow has 2025 been busy! If you're struggling to keep up and stay on top of things, don't worry because you're not alone. It doesn't matter who you are in the world, it's hard to come across something that is genuinely good news for everyone on the planet. But don't you worry, that's why we're back! Now, everyone has heard the phase 'laughter is the best medicine', and we surely believe this, but it's not only good for the soul, it's good for the planet! It turns out that the more people are happy and joyous, the calmer the earths crust is! That's right! The SNL Caster Member Average Years on the show and the number of Afternoon Earthquakes of magnitude >5.2 have a -88% correlation! Scientists have long studied laughter's unique calming frequency and found that whenever Kenan Thompson delivers one of his classic reactions (wide eyes, slow burn, and perfectly timed punchlines) the Earth literally chills out. His presence on SNL is like a seismic diffuser, reducing the likelihood of earthquakes, so whatever Lorne does, he better not mess this up!
