'''''All That''''' is an American [[sketch comedy]] children's television series created by [[Brian Robbins]] and [[Michael Tollin|Mike Tollin]]. The series originally aired on [[Nickelodeon]] from April 16, 1994, to October 22, 2005, lasting ten seasons, and was produced by [[Tollin/Robbins Productions]] and by [[Schneider's Bakery]] in season ten. The [[pilot episode]] was originally shown as a special "sneak peek" on April 16, 1994, with the show officially debuting as a regular series on January 21, 1995.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.newspapers.com/article/philadelphia-daily-news/146650970/|last=Prescott|first=Jean|title=Nickelodeon comedy role fulfills her wildest dream|work=[[Philadelphia Daily News]]|access-date=May 5, 2024|date=January 20, 1995}}</ref>
The series features original short comedic sketches and weekly musical guests aimed toward a young audience. Its sketches parody popular culture and are performed by a large and [[List of All That cast members|varying cast]] of child and teen actors. Early episodes were taped at [[Nickelodeon Studios]] at [[Universal Orlando|Universal Orlando Resort]] and then moved to [[Hollywood, Los Angeles, California|Hollywood]] at the [[Nickelodeon on Sunset]] theatre, where other Nickelodeon shows such as ''[[The Amanda Show]]'', ''[[Kenan & Kel]]'', and ''[[Drake & Josh]]'' were taped.
''All That'' went on to become a fixture on Nickelodeon for over a decade and has received acclaim for its diverse cast and impact on [[Children's television series|children's television]].<ref name="Atlantic" /><ref name="All That Oral History" /> The series has [[Spin-off (media)|spun off]] several members of the cast in their own Nickelodeon television series with varying levels of success. It has been marketed in several ways, including an [[audio recording]], books, a [[Good Burger|feature film]] (with a [[Good Burger 2|sequel]]), festival tour, and numerous reunions and specials celebrating the legacy of ''All That''.<ref name="Hollywood.com" />
In 2019, Robbins, the current president of Nickelodeon and co-creator of the original series, announced a revival of the series with original cast member [[Kenan Thompson]] serving as executive producer,<ref name="2019Nick">{{cite web|url=https://deadline.com/2019/02/spongebob-spinoffs-all-that-are-you-smarter-than-5th-grader-revivals-nickelodeon-2019-content-slate-1202557532/|title=''SpongeBob'' Spinoffs, ''All That'' & ''Are You Smarter Than 5th Grader?''

==History==
===Development===
[[Brian Robbins]] and [[Michael Tollin]] created the show, and the [[head writer]] was [[Dan Schneider]] who also became the [[showrunner]] of the series in the third season. ''All That'' marked the beginning of Schneider's prolific career in creating and writing hit television series for young audiences. ''[[The New York Times]]'', in separate articles, referred to Schneider as "the [[Norman Lear]] of children's television"<ref>{{cite news |first=Jacques|last=Steinberg |url=https://www.nytimes.com/2007/09/07/arts/television/07icar.html?_r=1&oref=slogin |title=I, Little Sister, Becomes "iCarly" |work=[[The New York Times]] |___location=New York City|date=September 7, 2007| access-date=May 27, 2008 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090416015758/http://www.nytimes.com/2007/09/07/arts/television/07icar.html?_r=1&oref=slogin |archive-date=April 16, 2009 |url-status=live}}</ref> and "the master of a television genre".<ref>{{cite news |first=Jonathan|last=Dee |title=Tween on the Screen |url=https://www.nytimes.com/2007/04/08/magazine/08NICKELODEON.t.html | work=[[The New York Times]] |___location=New York City|date=April 8, 2007|access-date=May 27, 2008}}</ref>
In 1986, Robbins and Schneider met when they were cast in the [[American Broadcasting Company|ABC]] sitcom ''[[Head of the Class]]'', where they co-starred as Eric Mardian and Dennis Blunden, members of an honors program for [[intellectual giftedness|gifted]] high school students.<ref name="danwarp">{{cite web|title=All That's 20th Anniversary|url=http://danwarp.blogspot.com/2014/04/all-that-happy-20th-anniversary.html|access-date=March 11, 2015|work=DanWarp|date=April 15, 2014|archive-date=April 2, 2015|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150402155719/http://danwarp.blogspot.com/2014/04/all-that-happy-20th-anniversary.html|url-status=dead}}</ref> Becoming close friends, the two performers both shared a mutual interest in writing, eventually coming together to write and then pitch an episode to the show's producers just to see if they could do it.<ref name="danwarp" /> To their amazement, the producers liked their idea and bought it. Their episode ("Will the Real Arvid Engen Please Stand Up") later aired during the show's second season in 1988.
[[File:Nickelodeon Studios in Hard Rock Cafe.jpg|left|thumb|Exterior of the former Nickelodeon Studios where ''All That'' was taped for its first two seasons]]
Following the success of ''Head of the Class'', Robbins and Schneider were asked to co-host the second annual [[Nickelodeon Kids' Choice Awards|Kids Choice Awards]] in [[1988 Kids' Choice Awards|1988]] alongside [[Tony Danza]] and [[Debbie Gibson]].<ref>{{cite news|id={{ProQuest|277943979}}|title=SCREENING ROOM And Now For a Word From Our Sponsor|newspaper=[[Newsday]]|last1=Werts|first1=Diane|last2=Granville|first2=Kari|last3=Kaufman|first3=Bill|page=06|date=April 17, 1988}}</ref> Although they were unaware of the fledgling [[Nickelodeon]] [[cable television|cable channel]], the two agreed to participate. The award ceremony that year was produced by [[Albie Hecht]], with whom Robbins and Schneider quickly struck up a friendship.<ref name="danwarp" /> Their friendship continued after the awards, and Hecht suggested they develop something for Nickelodeon. Robbins and Schneider declined his offer, as they were still under contract with ABC.<ref name="danwarp" />
By 1991, after ''Head of the Class'' ended its five-season run, Robbins started a production company with producer friend Mike Tollin, aptly named [[Tollin/Robbins Productions]].<ref name="All That Oral History">{{cite web|title=How 'All That' Became the 'SNL' for the Next Generation|url=https://myspace.com/article/2014/04/14/all-that-oral-history-season-one|access-date=March 11, 2015|work=MySpace}}</ref> The company originally produced several small-budget sports documentaries.<ref name=vty0>{{cite news|first1=Dave|last1=McNary|first2=Josef|last2=Adalian|title=Robbins, Tollin reduce joint projects|url=https://variety.com/2007/film/news/robbins-tollin-reduce-joint-projects-1117960947/|work=[[Variety (magazine)|Variety]]|publisher=[[Penske Media Corporation]]|___location=Los Angeles, California|date=March 12, 2007|access-date=January 16, 2015}}</ref> Hecht, now Head of Development for Nickelodeon, contacted them and asked them to tape a project for the network. The half-hour documentary they made featured two of the network's [[game show]] hosts, [[Phil Moore (actor)|Phil Moore]] (''[[Nick Arcade]]'') and [[Mike O'Malley]] (''[[Get the Picture (game show)|Get the Picture]]'' and ''[[Nickelodeon GUTS]]''), as co-hosts of a comedy tour as they drove around to different cities to perform.<ref name="All That Oral History" /> Since their schedule only permitted for two days of taping, Tollin/Robbins had to make the entire show appear as if they had toured around the country.<ref name="All That Oral History" />
Impressed with the final product, Hecht later met with Robbins to discuss developing something; asking Robbins if there was any type of show that he would be interested in making.<ref name="All That Oral History" /> Robbins pitched an idea of creating a kid-friendly version of ''[[Saturday Night Live]],'' which cast member [[Kenan Thompson]] would later join in 2003. He brought Tollin and Schneider (as head writer) along to help develop the show. The three were influenced by classic sketch shows such as ''[[The Carol Burnett Show]]'', ''[[You Can't Do That on Television]]'' and ''[[Laugh In]]'',<ref name="All That Oral History" /> and began to flesh out a rough idea of the show's format.<ref name="All That Oral History" /><ref name="danwarp" /> Schneider decided against writing the [[pilot episode]] and instead chose to compile the cast first. Usually, in television, the pilot is written first and the cast is assembled later.<ref name="danwarp" /> However, the three believed it was crucial to find the right actors first and then tailor to their strengths.<ref name="All That Oral History" /><ref name="danwarp" /> A nationwide talent search for child and teen actors was launched that would last for several months.<ref name="All That Oral History" /> Eventually, [[Angelique Bates]], [[Lori Beth Denberg]], [[Katrina Johnson]], [[Kel Mitchell]], [[Alisa Reyes]], [[Josh Server]], and Thompson were hired.
===Original series (1994–2000)===
The basic concept for the series was a half-hour show that featured a [[cold open]] (which featured the cast participating in varying juvenile acts in a [[green room]] or around the studio before the show starts), several different [[sketch comedy|sketches]]; including "runners" (short-length sketches), and then a musical performance to close out the episode.<ref name="All That Oral History" /><ref name="danwarp" /> The main staple was the ''Vital Information'' sketch, which would go on to be featured in every show through the end of the [[All That season 6|sixth season]] (some people compared it to the long-running ''SNL'' segment ''[[Weekend Update]]'').<ref name="All That Oral History" /> Cast and crew flew out to [[Nickelodeon Studios]] at [[Universal Studios Florida]] in [[Orlando, Florida|Orlando]] to shoot the pilot in front of a studio audience on January 17, 1994.<ref name="All That Oral History" /> After taping was completed, the pilot was shelved as screenings did not test well with the focus groups,<ref name="All That Oral History" /><ref name="danwarp" /> consisting of children, both boys and girls in different age groups, that Nickelodeon used. The scores showed that "kids probably wouldn't like this new sketch comedy show for kids".<ref name="All That Oral History" /><ref name="danwarp" /> Regardless of the negative response, [[Geraldine Laybourne]] (then President of Nickelodeon) decided to pick the series up.<ref name="All That Oral History" />
[[File:Nickelodeon On Sunset.jpg|thumb|Nickelodeon on Sunset, at 6230 Sunset Boulevard, as seen in May 2011. ''All That'' was taped here until its cancellation in 2005.]]
During the first season, writing partners [[Kevin Kopelow and Heath Seifert]] were brought on as producers and continued working in that capacity through the third season. They continued their relationship with Thompson and Mitchell by co-executive producing and head writing the spin-off series ''[[Kenan & Kel]]'' and eventually writing the feature film ''[[Good Burger]]'' (1997) with Schneider.
After production on the second season wrapped in 1996, the show moved out of the old Nickelodeon Studios at Universal Orlando Resort in Florida. The network, interested in moving production of their live-action series to the West Coast began scouting soundstages in California. Production for the third season was completed at the [[Paramount Pictures]] studio lot before Nickelodeon obtained a lease for the 6230 [[Sunset Boulevard]] facility. During this period, Bates left the show and was replaced by [[Amanda Bynes]]. A Nickelodeon producer discovered Bynes while she attended a children's comedy camp at L.A.'s [[Laugh Factory]].<ref name="Amanda, Please">{{Cite web| author=Abby Schreiber | year=2018 | title=Break the Internet: Amanda, Please | work=Paper | url=http://www.papermag.com/amanda-bynes-break-the-internet-2621549455.html|access-date=22 June 2019}}</ref> At the end of the third season, Johnson and Reyes left the show.
In 1997, Nickelodeon purchased the Sunset Boulevard property (formerly The Earl Carrol Theater) and rechristened it as [[Nickelodeon on Sunset]].<ref name="Fresh Out The Box">All That Fresh Out The Box</ref><ref name=FOB>''All That: Fresh Out the Box'', Steve Holland, Pocket Books, 1998</ref> Production for the series would remain there until the end of the [[All That season 10|tenth season]] in 2005. The [[All That season 4|fourth season]] began with the additions of [[Leon Frierson]], [[Christy Knowings]], and [[Danny Tamberelli]] to the cast. Knowings and Tamberelli were known to Nickelodeon producers having both participated in other projects for the network; Knowings was discovered while taping a pilot for a show called ''And Now This''; Tamberelli was the star of ''[[The Adventures of Pete & Pete]]'', and guest starred on the Nickelodeon game show ''[[Figure It Out]]'' where he befriended fellow guest star Kopelow.<ref name="Complex 02" /> At the end of the fourth season, Denberg and Schneider left the show. Schneider initially left the series to create the short-lived [[UPN]] sitcom ''[[Guys Like Us]]'', and later took over a fledgling pilot for Bynes that would become ''[[The Amanda Show]]''.<ref name="Dan Schneider WP">{{Cite news| author=Emily Yahr | year=2018 | title=The sudden end of Dan Schneider's time at Nickelodeon, where he built an empire| newspaper=Washington Post | url=https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/arts-and-entertainment/wp/2018/03/29/the-sudden-end-of-dan-schneiders-time-at-nickelodeon-where-he-built-an-empire/?noredirect=on|access-date=23 June 2019}}</ref>
For the [[All That season 5|fifth season]], Kopelow and Seifert took over Schneider's responsibilities as head writers and co-executive producers; Tamberelli succeeded Denberg as the new ''Vital Information'' anchor; added to the cast were [[Nick Cannon]] and [[Mark Saul (actor)|Mark Saul]]. Although a teenager at the time, Cannon previously worked as the audience warm up and writer for the show before joining the cast.<ref name="Complex 02" />
On March 13, 1999, Nickelodeon celebrated the series in an hour-long special episode dubbed ''All That Live'', in honor of the show's "100th episode" (although it was chronologically the 85th episode to be aired on the network). The episode was the first, and only occurrence in the show's history done entirely live in front of a studio audience.<ref name="All That 100th Episode">{{Cite web| title=All That: 100th Episode| work=TV.com| url=http://www.tv.com/all-that/100th-episode/episode/377392/summary.html| access-date=20 December 2006| url-status=dead| archive-date=December 4, 2008| archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20081204225356/http://www.tv.com/all-that/100th-episode/episode/377392/summary.html}}</ref>
The 100th episode featured several celebrity guests: [[Melissa Joan Hart]] (''[[Sabrina, the Teenage Witch (1996 TV series)|Sabrina the Teenage Witch]]'' and Nickelodeon's ''[[Clarissa Explains It All]]''), [[Larisa Oleynik]] (Nickelodeon's ''[[The Secret World of Alex Mack]]''), [[Robert Ri'chard]] (Nickelodeon's ''[[Cousin Skeeter]]''), and [[Britney Spears]] (in a taped video appearance; Spears was originally supposed to perform in person but had to back out due to a knee injury and [[Lauryn Hill]] took her place) all made appearances; with Bates, Denberg, Johnson and Reyes appearing as well.<ref name="All That 100th Episode"/>
After the 100th episode, the show won the Kids' Choice Award for [[Kids' Choice Award for Favorite TV Show|Favorite TV Show]] on May 1, 1999.<ref name="Kids' Choice Awards">{{Cite news|url= https://www.imdb.com/Sections/Awards/Kids_Choice_Awards_USA/1999 |title= 1999 Kids Choice Awards IMDB |access-date= 2007-08-11}}</ref> The fifth season ended with the departures of Mitchell and Thompson. Stand-up comedian [[Gabriel Iglesias]] (who, at 24, was much older than the otherwise preteen-to-late-teenage cast) was hired to replace the two for the following season.<ref name="Complex 02" /> The abbreviated [[All That (season 6)|sixth season]] was followed by a nationwide summer tour, the ''All That Music and More Festival'', hosted by the cast and headlined by featured musical guests. Kopelow, Seifert and the entire cast left the series soon after. In their absence, Schneider returned as showrunner.
=== Relaunch series (2002–2005) ===
In 2000, ''All That'' was put on hiatus to be relaunched with a new cast. During the hiatus, Nickelodeon ran a series of specials. Production for the [[All That season 7|seventh season]] started back up a year later after an extensive nationwide talent search for child and teen actors. Ultimately hired were Chelsea Brummet, [[Jack DeSena]], [[Lisa Foiles]], [[Bryan Hearne]], [[Shane Lyons]], [[Giovonnie Samuels]], and [[Kyle Sullivan]]. The format of the series remained roughly the same as the original seasons, but episodes now featured a weekly guest host who would appear alongside the cast in sketches, just as ''Saturday Night Live'' had incorporated since its 1975 premiere (the weekly host was gradually phased out of the show later on). ''Vital Information'' was also dropped and replaced with a new regular segment titled ''Know Your Stars''.<ref name="special guest stars1">{{cite web|title=Nickelodeon's longest-running live action series, All That, revs up for its seventh season with an all new format, including a weekly celebrity host and an all new kid cast. |work=Viacom|url=http://www.viacom.com/press.tin?ixPressRelease=80003683 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20020209062628/http://www.viacom.com/press.tin?ixPressRelease=80003683 |url-status=dead |archive-date=February 9, 2002 |access-date=December 20, 2006 }}</ref><ref name="special guest stars2">{{cite web |title=Memo to Nickelodeon and the Writers of "All That"|work=Google Groups |url=https://groups.google.com/group/alt.tv.nickelodeon/browse_thread/thread/f2f6b8f4cae838e7/2bb1f7b6631db2c6?lnk=gst&q=memo+all+that&rnum=1#2bb1f7b6631db2c6 |access-date=December 20, 2006}}</ref> The first episode of the "new" ''All That'' featured special guests [[Frankie Muniz]] and [[Aaron Carter]] and debuted on January 19, 2002.<ref name="All That Season 7 Premiere1">{{cite web|title=All That Season 7|work=TV.com|url=http://www.tv.com/all-that/show/3090/episode.html?season=7&tag=nav_bar%3b7|archive-url=https://archive.today/20130204190552/http://www.tv.com/all-that/show/3090/episode.html?season=7&tag=nav_bar;7|url-status=dead|archive-date=February 4, 2013}}</ref>
The [[All That season 8|eighth season]] opened with the addition of Britney Spears' younger sister, [[Jamie Lynn Spears]], to the cast. In addition, ''All That'' cast members were also included in a new wraparound segment during the [[SNICK]] lineup, the ''[[SNICK On-Air Dare]]'', in which they attempted various dares (such as a now-infamous segment, later recalled in the 2024 [[Investigation Discovery]] documentary ''[[Quiet on Set: The Dark Side of Kids TV]]'', in which Hearne was painted with [[peanut butter]] that would be licked off him by a pack of dogs);<ref>{{cite news|url=http://vids.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=vids.individual&VideoID=3189946 |title=MySpaceTV Kyle's On-Air Dare video |publisher=MySpace |date=August 5, 2008 }}{{dead link|date=June 2017 |bot=InternetArchiveBot |fix-attempted=yes }}</ref><ref>{{cite news |url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2ks3o8pIorA |title=Jamie's On Air Dare |publisher=Youtube |date=August 19, 2008}}{{cbignore}}{{Dead YouTube link|date=February 2022}}</ref> occasionally, ''On-Air Dares'' featured special guests from other Nickelodeon shows.<ref>{{cite news |url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aUyKTkke00o |title=Ned's Declassified on On Air Dare|work=youtube|date=August 19, 2008}}{{cbignore}}{{Dead YouTube link|date=February 2022}}</ref> Hearne left the series just as Nickelodeon was promoting a new competition series, ''[[R U All That?: Nickelodeon's Search for the Funniest Kid in America]]'', in which the grand prize winner would be given an opportunity to become a cast member on ''All That''. After this contest ended in 2003, the finals aired on the network on July 26, 2003. The contest picked five finalists, all of whom would perform a sketch with the current cast. The winner of ''R U All That?'' was [[Christina Kirkman]], who would officially join the cast in [[All That season 9|ninth season]]; the competition's runner-up, [[Ryan Coleman]], would join the cast later that year. At the end of the ninth season, Lyons, Samuels and Spears departed the series. Spears left to focus on a new Nickelodeon sitcom that Schneider had created, ''[[Zoey 101]]''.<ref>{{cite news|url=http://www.nick.com/all_nick/specials/areYouAllThat/videos/ |title=2003, R U All That?'s winner |date=July 27, 2004 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20081103092758/http://www.nick.com/all_nick/specials/areYouAllThat/videos/ |archive-date=November 3, 2008 }}</ref>
In 2005, the [[All That season 10|tenth season]] began with a celebration of the show's tenth anniversary. As part of the event, Nickelodeon aired episodes from the first six seasons of ''All That'' in the week leading up to a "reunion special" on April 23, 2005, hosted by Muniz and featuring [[Ashanti (entertainer)|Ashanti]] and [[Bow Wow (rapper)|Bow Wow]] as the musical guests. The special featured cast members from both the original and relaunch series performing in sketches together. And, after a hiatus, the ''Vital Information'' sketch was brought back with [[Lil' JJ]], winner of sister channel [[Black Entertainment Television|BET]]'s ''Coming to the Stage'' competition, as the anchor. The special also introduced Kianna Underwood and [[Denzel Whitaker]] as new cast members.<ref name="Hollywood.com">{{cite web|url=http://www.hollywood.com/tv/All_That_10th_Anniversary_Reunion_Special/5205676|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20080603040946/http://www.hollywood.com/tv/All_That_10th_Anniversary_Reunion_Special/5205676|archive-date=June 3, 2008|title=All That 10th Anniversary Cast and Crew Info|website=[[Hollywood.com]]|date=August 28, 2005|access-date=August 28, 2008}}</ref> Approximately 6.2 million total viewers watched the special on both its April 23 and 24 airings, making it the top [[cable television|cable]] or [[terrestrial television|broadcast]] program for the 2–11, 6–11, and 9–14 age [[demographics]],<ref name="All That 10th Anniversary_8675309">{{cite press release |title=Nick's All That 10th Anniversary Reunion Special is a Hit with Kids and Tweens |url=http://www.prnewswire.com/news-releases/nicks-all-that-10th-anniversary-reunion-special-is-a-hit-with-kids-and-tweens-earns-number-one-spot-on-broadcast-and-cable-tv-in-saturday-apr-23-premiere-and-sunday-apr-24-encore-54417287.html |publisher=Nickelodeon |date=April 26, 2005 |access-date=March 11, 2016 |via=[[PR Newswire]]}}</ref> and [[TV.com]] gave it a rating of 8.7/10.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.tv.com/shows/all-that/all-that-10th-anniversary-reunion-special-418156/?q=All%20That%2010th%20anniversary&tag=search_results;episode_title;1|title=All That 10 Anniversary Summary and Info|website=TV.com|access-date=March 11, 2016|archive-date=March 12, 2016|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160312135531/http://www.tv.com/shows/all-that/all-that-10th-anniversary-reunion-special-418156/?q=All%20That%2010th%20anniversary&tag=search_results;episode_title;1|url-status=dead}}</ref><ref name="Hollywood.com" />
Chronologically, the anniversary special and season were taped in the fall of 2004, before being aired on Nickelodeon the following year. After the anniversary, the new season began airing a week later. The tenth season would mark the end of the relaunch era of the show as Foiles announced the show's cancellation.

The format of the series remained roughly the same as the original era and the relaunch era. Minor changes to the format included the traditional cold open (which featured the cast in a green room or around the studio before the show started) occasionally appearing later in an episode rather than at the beginning; ''Vital Information'', now sporadically appearing, was kept on with Caddell as anchor; and ''Know Your Stars'' was dropped for the revival.
The revival series featured the involvement of former cast members appearing regularly with the new cast in sketches. Numerous classic characters from the previous eras were revived as well. Besides Mitchell and Thompson; Lori Beth Denberg, Lisa Foiles, Alisa Reyes, Mark Saul, Josh Server, and Jamie Lynn Spears all returned to cameo.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://people.com/tv/jamie-lynn-spears-and-the-cast-of-zoey-101-reunite-in-all-that-sketch/|title=Jamie Lynn Spears and the Cast of ''Zoey 101'' Take on Thelma Stump in Hilarious ''All That'' Sketch|work=[[People (magazine)|People]]|author=Robyn Merrett|date=July 6, 2020|access-date=July 6, 2020}}</ref>

==Sketches==
''All That'' features original short comedic sketches that parody popular culture. Although the show had a team of writers, the cast was encouraged to help contribute their own ideas for characters and other segments. Improv and ad-libbing were used to help the cast and writers find the right tone for a certain skit.<ref name="Complex 02">{{cite web|title=Ready Yet?

{| class="wikitable sortable"
! Sketch Name !! Major Players !! Description
|-
! "Ask Ashley"
| Amanda Bynes
| A little girl named Ashley, who offers advice from her bedroom on a TV series. She was sweet and friendly until she reads letters sent in by clueless viewers. After reading a letter, Ashley would go on a tirade against the letter's author.
|-
! "Detective Dan"
| Josh Server
| A hopelessly incompetent police detective who frequently stumbled into a crime scene to make matters worse. In the revival series, Kate Godfrey came into the sketch as Dan's daughter "Detective Ann".<ref name="Complex 02" />
|-
! "Shark Cave"
| Reece Caddell, Gabrielle Green, Lex Lumpkin
| [[Caveman|Cave people]] judges decide on items its creators hope will be a success in the future. This is a mash-up parody of ''[[Shark Tank]]'' and the [[Stone Age]] culture.
|-
! "Everyday French with Pierre [[Escargot]]"
| Kenan Thompson
| Pierre sits in a bathtub filled with suds, wearing a raincoat and matching hat and swim fins on his feet. In the sketch, he would say silly phrases in poorly-pronounced French and translate them into English.
|-
! "Know Your Stars"
| various
| A random voice (performed by [[Brian Peck]] from seasons 7–8 and [[Dan Schneider]] from seasons 9–10) that made an impersonation of an individual with embarrassing, wacky, funny and untrue facts and info about a cast member or special guest.
|-
! "Good Burger"
| Kel Mitchell (seasons 1–5, 11), Ryan Coleman (season 9)
| Ed, the cashier at a fast-food restaurant, is a clueless teenager who always found a way to mess things up. Good Burger [[Good Burger|was later made into a feature film]].
|-
! "The Loud Librarian"
| Lori Beth Denberg
| A [[librarian]] who frequently engaged in extremely noisy and distracting activities. When students complained or made noise themselves, she would shout "QUIET! THIS IS A LIBRARY!" along with a variety of noisemakers, failing to notice the hypocrisy.
|-
! "Cancelled with Nathan"
| Nathan Janak
| Nathan (as himself) is in a hot tub on a tropical island and rants about things that bother him and should be cancelled.
|-
! "Sugar and Coffee"
| Lisa Foiles, Kyle Sullivan
| Extremely hyperactive hosts of their own talk show, the pair would eat pure sugar and drink massive amounts of coffee and then force their guests to do the same thing from giant orbs attached to the ceiling, which usually led to overactivity in the worst way.
|-
! "Thelma Stump"
| Jamie Lynn Spears
| An elderly woman who serves as a bodyguard and security guard for the backstage of ''All That''.
|-
! "Vital Information"
| Lori Beth Denberg (seasons 1–4), Danny Tamberelli (seasons 5 and 6), Lil' JJ (season 10), Reece Caddell (season 11)
| The host deadpans one-liners, usually three in a row to the audience. This recurring sketch was the centerpiece of the show before the relaunch.
|-
! "Miss Piddlin"
| Kenan Thompson
| Miss Piddlin, the [[lunch lady]] at Dullmont Jr. High School, has a terrifying fixation on [[peas]] and tries to force every child to eat them. Anyone who dislikes peas or offends her becomes the target of her "beast-like strength." The sketch features pea-based parodies of popular songs such as "[[Let It Be (song)|Eat a Pea]]" and "[[My Favorite Things (song)|Peas Are a Few of My Favorite Things]]".
|-
! "Getting Rid of Your Stuff"
| Kate Godfrey
| Host Marie Kiddo (a parody of [[Marie Kondo]]) visits other guests' houses and schools and goes through various things that they own. She asks the guests if the item brings them joy; if it does, the item is kept, but if it doesn't bring them joy (even if it belongs to a family member or friend), she violently destroys the item and screams "DESTROY!"
|-
! "Life with Peter and Flem"
| Kel Mitchell as Peter, Josh Server as Flem, Dan Schneider as Narrator
| Loosely based on [[Goofus and Gallant]], the boys shows an over the top dos and don'ts in proper etiquette. Peter shows the right way to do things, while Flem shows the wrong way to do things by using his own methods.

==Impact and legacy==
''All That'' is highly regarded for its large diverse cast both in terms of ethnicity and gender.<ref name="Atlantic">{{cite web|first=Jake|last=Flanagin|url=https://www.theatlantic.com/entertainment/archive/2014/04/the-quiet-radicalism-of-em-all-that-em/360756/|title=The Quiet Radicalism of All That|work=[[The Atlantic]]|publisher=[[Emerson Collective]]|___location=Washington DC|date=April 16, 2014|access-date=March 13, 2015}}</ref> The show was praised in ''[[The Atlantic]]'' for breaking the classical norms set in children's TV with its cast, irreverent and unapologetic humor, and kid characters played by actual kids.<ref name="Atlantic" />
When ''All That'' debuted in 1994, television was still primarily segregated by race as shown by popular sitcoms like ''[[Seinfeld]]'' (where the cast is completely white) or ''[[Martin (TV series)|Martin]]'' (where the cast is entirely black); even ''Saturday Night Live'' was dominated by white male comedians.<ref name="Atlantic" /> Robbins, Schneider and Tollin wanted the show to reflect its audience and also sought out varying musical acts ([[Alternative rock|alternative]], [[Hip-hop|hip hop]] and [[Contemporary R&B|R&B]] among others) to embrace the diversity.<ref name="Atlantic" /><ref name="Complex">{{cite web|title=Ready Yet?

{{blockquote|I was the first black female they had on that show...there weren't that many black shows on or black actors. When I left, it opened it up more for black female comedians. I've had people come back and tell me it felt like I passed the torch because they were all on TV watching like, "I want to do that, I want to do that," but then when they saw me, they thought, "Oh, I can actually do that." Black girls were coming up to me, parents are just like, "Thank you so much for what you've done." I was like wow. It feels surreal.<ref name="All That Oral History" />| Angelique Bates}}
{{blockquote|I thought it was awesome because none of us look like each other. We were like a total melting pot of diversity<ref name="Atlantic" />...You have African-American, you have me [Hispanic], you have Caucasian. ... So there are kids that were able to sit home and go, I look like her, I look like him, I can relate. That was really important for me to be a part of a cast that was filled of diversity 'cause there's nothing more boring than a Brady Bunch concept. So at the end of the day, I was able to have the fans verbally tell me how they felt that ''All That'' impacted their lives and it made them come home and look forward to coming home and watching the show after school when they work on their homework, and how they loved to be able to have a little bit of music maybe their mom didn't let them necessarily listen to some of the music or whatever the case may be.<ref name="All That Oral History" />| Alisa Reyes}}

''All That'' made one effort in developing a popular sketch into a feature-length film with ''Good Burger.'' Co-creator Mike Tollin said:
{{blockquote|You get something like ''Good Burger'' and you just ride it, and all of a sudden there's something called [[Nickelodeon Movies]], put under the banner of [[Paramount Pictures|Paramount]]. It was a big synergy. We just took a shot. ... There was an unforgettable day when we went to Paramount with a script. The Paramount execs were interested enough to come to a table read. I don't believe any money had been spent. We realized this was a huge opportunity. Kenan and Kel came and we filled in with other actors. ... It was late January 1997, and he ([[John Goldwyn]] a senior executive at Paramount [came back and said], "The good news is we're going to make this movie; the bad news is it needs to be in theaters in July." The typical gestation period for movies is five to seven years. Brian signed up to direct and we shot the film locally, built Good Burger, brought in [[Sinbad (comedian)|Sinbad]], brought in Jenny, brought in the whole cast of characters. Twenty years later I got a call from my niece from Chicago who said, "I just watched the best movie." That thing worked.<ref name="All That Oral History" />}}

On July 25, 2011, TeenNick debuted a block named after the show, The '90s Are All That. ''All That'' aired as part of the block from its launch until December 27, 2012. The '90s Are All That airings, however, also have the musical guest performances edited out, along with their introduction sketches (presumably for time and the high cost of obtaining music distribution rights). It initially only aired episodes from seasons 2 and 3, later adding seasons 4 and 5 into the rotation. However, the reruns on The N in 2008 aired seasons 3 and 5 uncut and retained the musical guest performances (with the exception of the [[K-Ci & JoJo]] episode). The final rotation of these reruns included seasons 6 and 7.
