	Actors - All That

All That was a live-action comedy-variety show on Nickelodeon, that featured sketches in a manner somewhat reminiscent of Saturday Night Live
and an earlier Nick show You Can't Do That on Television. The show had guest actors and musical performances each episode. The theme song for All That was performed by TLC.

The show was first aired on April 16, 1994 featuring mainly young adults, but around the turn of the millennium (more specificially, the 2001-2002 television season) it made a big switch to feature only tweens/young adolecents.

Some of the former cast members got their own spin-offs including Kenan Thompson and Kel Mitchell (Kenan & Kel), Amanda Bynes (The Amanda Show), Nick Cannon (The Nick Cannon Show), and Jamie Lynn Spears (Zoey 101). In 1997, Kenan Thompson and Kel Mitchell starred in a big screen version of the popular sketch Good Burger
. Also, Kenan Thompson went on to work on Saturday Night Live
, where he (like on All That) has provided his comedic personality and Bill Cosby impersonation.

Production process

The show originally taped at Nickelodeon Studios at Universal Studios Florida in Orlando before moving to the Nickelodeon on Sunset studio in Los Angeles.

Typically, the cast would randomly film a bunch of different sketches in a day's work. Eventually, the production staff edited them together into full, individual episodes.

Kevin Kopelow and Dan Schneider ran All That together in the first four seasons. Kopelow then ran the show with the help of Heath Steffet in Seasons 5-6. And Schneider, who briefly left All That to work on The Amanda Show, produced the show by himself from Season 7 onward. Schneider was supposedly absent from the 100th episode special while and Kopelow was supposedly absent from the 10th anniversery special.

The Pilot Episode

All That was created by Mike Tollin, Brian Robbins, and Dan Schneider. Robbins and Schneider both starred on ABC's Head of the Class during the 1980s. All That was the first production that Robbins and Schneider had for Nickelodeon. After the replacement of My Brother and Me (which only lasted for 13 episodes and was replaced by Roundhouse) on their 8:30 p.m. Saturday night time slot, Nickelodeon decided they needed their third sketch-comedy series (to succeed You Can't Do That On Television and the aforementioned Roundhouse) to come on their schedule (hence, All That was born).

The pilot episode of All That, which featured musical guest TLC performing the hit song "What About Your Friends", and the first appearances of Baggin' Saggin' Barry, Earboy, Mavis & Clavis, Miss Fingerly among others first aired as a Nickelodeon special (or sneak preview) on April 16, 1994. It would debut as a weekly series on December 24, 1994. The official series debut featured (besides musical guest Da Brat performing "Fa All Y'all") the first appearances of Randy & Mandy, Vital Information, and Ed from Good Burger. The pilot episode was not reaired on Nickelodeon until the end of the first season and aired as a "lost episode."
