We consider a $SU(N)\times SU(M)$ generalization of the multichannel single-impurity Kondo model which we solve analytically in the limit $N\rightarrow \infty$, $M\rightarrow\infty$, with $\gamma=M/N$ fixed. Non-Fermi liquid behavior of the single electron Green function and of the local spin and flavor susceptibilities occurs in both regimes, $N\le M$ and $N > M$, with leading critical exponents {\em identical} to those found in the conformal field theory solution for {\em all} $N$ and $M$ (with $M\ge 2$). We explain this remarkable agreement and connect it to ``spin-flavor separation", the essential feature of the non-Fermi-liquid fixed point of the multichannel Kondo problem.
