'Saturday Night Live' Star Kenan Thompson Engaged (VIDEOS)

"Saturday Night Live" star Keenan Thompson is getting married, US Weekly reports. The 33 year-old comedian will tie the knot with Christina Evangeline.

The gossip magazine says that Thompson and Evangeline will exchange vows on Nov. 11 of this year, which just happens to be 11-11-11.

According to Evil Beet Gossip, Thompson is not the only celebrity scheduled to get married on the special day. The gossip website reported in May that Jessica Simpson would be getting married on 11-11-11 at 11:11 a.m.

However, earlier this month, Simpson's wedding was put on hold "indefinitely," according to TheHollywoodGossip.com.

One rumor why the wedding was put on hold was because Simpson could not fit into her wedding dress.

Thompson has been a member of the "Saturday Night Live" cast since 2003. He is best known for his impersonations of Whoopie Goldberg and Jimmy McMillan, also known as the "Rent is Too Damn High" guy.

Only 33 years old, Thompson has had a long career in comedy, starting out on the teen sketch shows "All That" and "Kenan & Kel," which aired on Nickelodeon in the 1990s.

Thompson has also appeared in several films, notably "The Mighty Ducks," "Heavyweights," "Good Burger," and "Snakes on a Plane."

Evangeline was reported to be a model on several gossip sites. However, she denied that in a tweet earlier today, tweeting: "I'm not a model. I never claimed to be. I had 2 layouts in maxim....for fun. I have a degree, ambition, for me, isn't skin deep."

Until the big day, below are some of Thompson's greatest SNL hits:
