Chucky spoilers follow! The Chucky franchise, from the movies to the TV shows, has been no stranger to surprise guests appearing just to get killed by the tiny doll. The late John Ritter appeared in Bride of Chucky with a hilarious death, with John Waters following suit in Seed of Chucky. Even the Chucky TV show has had guest stars show up just to get axed, with WWE star Liv Morgan dying by Chucky's hand and even Joe Pantoliano, Sutton Stracke, and Meg Tilly all appearing too. Chucky season 3 just upped the ante on guest star deaths though, not in terms of sheer star power, but violence.

Chucky season 3 previously confirmed that Saturday Night Live favorite Kenan Thompson would appear in an episode, and as expected the comedian doesn't make it out of the episode alive. Kenan plays a cab driver, one who picks up Caroline and Chucky in New York City after Jennifer Tilly is arrested. Naturally when the topic switches to murder, Kenan questions why her toy is bringing up such topics. resulting in Chucky slamming an umbrella down his throat, only to open it up and send blood showering all over the cab. To make it even funnier though, the "Special Guest Star Kenan Thompson" credit appears onscreen just as the camera focuses on his face after being executed.
