All That Is Coming Back To Nick For A Whole New Generation

Aw, here it goes!


All That is officially returning to TV. Nickelodeon is bringing the teen sketch show, also referred to as a large segment of your childhood, back with none other than Saturday Night Live's Kenan Thompson as executive producer. He's come full circle – getting his begin in the industry once All That debuted in 1994, and returning to help spearhead the new production with Brian Robbins, president of Nickelodeon.


And it's not just Kenan we'll get to be able to see returning to the influential show — a few former cast members are reportedly returning to the series as well, though we're not sure who that includes just although. One can only hope Lori Beth Denberg can come back and read us to filth because the Loud Librarian again.


Thompson, speaking to Variety, is still just as much in love with the show as we are.


"It means everything to me," he mentioned. "It was my first job that I ever had. It gave me an opportunity."


The show's original run featured famed alumni like Kel Mitchell, Kenan's partner in crime for the hilarious "Kenan and Kel" shorts, Amanda Bynes, Jamie Spears, Nick Cannon, and a number of other stars made their begin in the legendary sketch show, and several went on to star in their own series on Nick as well. We got Drake and Josh, Kenan and Kel, and The Amanda Show out of All That's success.


This isn't the opening '90s television revival Nickelodeon has spurred as of late, as it's been testing the waters with Legends of the Concealed Temple and Hey Arnold, along with making it easier for fans to stream classic shows with services like VRV's NickSplat. So it was a "no-brainer" for Robbins to bring All That back as well.


"This summer, we we'll bring back a lot of the original cast and cast by means of the years, and let them introduce the new cast of 'All That' to the world," the Nick president explained. He specified this particular iteration could be a "mash-up" of old and new sketches. With a cast of new faces joining the team, who is aware what the modern version of All That could get up to?


We're stoked Thompson is joining the project. However what about SNL? He'll still be noticed most weekends doing his day job, however he plans on being very involved with the project.


"If I'm not at the table read, I'll be on the phone throughout the table read," he told Variety. "I'll be around."


Right now the only real question we have is whether Thompson will bring back Pierre Escargot for all our language learning needs. That French isn't gonna learn itself.
