All That

A zany sketch comedy featuring many wacky characters hosted for kids and by kids.

All That (1994-2005) is an American sketch comedy series created by Michael Tollin and Brian Robbins for Nickelodeon. Hosted and performed by a rotating troupe of young regulars, including Kel Mitchell, Amanda Bynes, Josh Server and Mark Saul, the show is built from short, self-contained sketches rather than a continuing story. Each episode stacks a run of zany bits featuring wacky recurring characters, parodies and gags, with the performers cycling through a wide range of roles. Its engine is pure variety: quick setups, big physical punchlines and familiar character catchphrases that keep the pace brisk. Running for ten seasons and 179 episodes, it stays bright, goofy and uncomplicated, a playful showcase for young comic talent. The tone is silly, warm and energetic, an anchor of late-1990s and early-2000s children's television. Fans of Kenan & Kel, In Living Color and Sketch Pad will find similar youthful, character-driven comedy here.

Praised as an energetic showcase for young comic talent, though sketch quality is uneven across its run.
