Kenan Thompson has opened up about his time as a child star at Nickelodeon and the new perspective he has gained on it following the release of “Quiet on Set: The Dark Side of Kids TV,” a new documentary series that features allegations of abuse against crew members at the network.
Thompson’s comments came Wednesday during an interview on the daytime talk show “Tamron Hall,” touching on his new production banner Afa, his record-breaking tenure on “Saturday Night Live” and his new memoir “When I Was Your Age.”
Thompson got started as a child performer, though, serving as an original cast member of the teenage-cast sketch show “All That” and starring alongside his peer Kel Mitchell in the sitcom “Kenan & Kel” and the feature film “Good Burger,” all of which were produced by Nickelodeon. During the interview with Hall, Thompson confirmed that he has not watched “Quiet on Set,...

Those of us who grew up watching Nickelodeon’s 90s slate of shows are about to be shocked to know how bad things actually were behind the scenes. When the kids’ network added more than cartoons and children’s entertainers/game shows to their schedule, it seemed like the channel was really reaching its audience by having shows for kids and featuring kids. It would make the network much hipper, and the man behind it all was Dan Schneider. Formerly a teen actor on the 80s sitcom Head of the Class, Schneider struck it big when he produced the sketch show, All That, which was in the vein of Saturday Night Live but with younger comedian performers.

One of Kel Mitchell’s favorite gifts this Christmas is the fact that his two of his kids, Honor and Wisdom Mitchell, have cameos in his new film Good Burger 2. “They play Pickles and Mustard. [My character] Ed has seven kids in the movie, and he named them all after condiments. It’s been so much fun having them have this experience with Dad and being in the movie too. So it’s a fun Christmas,” says Mitchell, whose film, which co-stars his longtime collaborator Kenan Thompson (Kenan & Kel), became the most-watched original film on Paramount+ after its release in November.
Filled with gratitude, the L.A.-based actor and comedian is also returning this year as a celebrity supporter of World Vision, the Christian humanitarian organization that for decades has supported people around the globe with everything from clean drinking water to gifts of livestock that can help empower them to get out of poverty.

Kenan Thompson is opening up about his falling out with Kel Mitchell.
The 45-year-old Saturday Night Live star and the 45-year-old pastor have had lots of success as a duo, working together on the TV series All That and Kenan & Kel, and their movies, Good Burger and Good Burger 2.
Off-screen, the longtime friends and costars haven’t always gotten along.

During an interview on The Today Show, Kenan shared that they had a “falling out” before collaborating on Good Burger 2.
“It was more of a separation that kind of grew into the traditional terms of what a falling out is, which is, like, not a lot of communication,” he reflected. “Originally, it was just us kind of looking for our own individualism, basically, as adults, taking a breather from being a duo because we both came into the game as individuals.

When Carmen Electra landed an audition for the first Good Burger movie, which was released in 1997, she didn’t want to go through with it. While she wasn’t a stranger to being in the spotlight, Electra says it was the first feature film she was ever a part of, which felt intimidating even for someone at her level of fame.
But her agent at the time coached her through the tough moment and helped her land the role of Roxanne, a customer at the Good Burger fast-food joint who seduces Kel Mitchell’s character,...

After 26 years, there's actually a sequel to Nickelodeon's '90s comedy "Good Burger." Based on a sketch from "All That," the movie took the lovably dimwitted Good Burger employee Ed (Kel Mitchell) to the big screen and paired him with co-star Kenan Thompson for a zany caper about two competing burger joints. It has all the hallmarks of a classic screwball comedy from the 1980s, and believe it or not, it's still genuinely funny to this day. So how do you pick up the spatula again after so many years?
We spoke with "Good Burger 2" writers Kevin Kopelow and Heath Seifert and director Phil Traill leading up to the release of the sequel, which is now available on Paramount+, and we talked about returning to the franchise.

Millennials rejoice! 26 years later, Kenan Thompson and Kel Mitchell are once again serving up fast-food morsels in the achingly-awaited "Good Burger 2." Folks who grew up on Nickelodeon's kid-friendly sketch comedy series "All That" have been clamoring for a return to the chaotically unclean confines of Good Burger, and now that it's here, I'll let those whose satiric sensibilities were partially formed by the original pass judgment on the quality of the sequel.
I do, however, know Sinbad. A comedic force of nature, I first saw the man rack up multiple wins on the Ed McMahon-hosted talent competition "Star Search" in the 1980s. I remember watching him besting a young Dennis Miller; this bothered me at the time, but considering Miller's career trajectory, I am firmly in Sinbad's camp. After all, who else possessed the bravery to ask which part of the chicken produced the Chicken McNugget?

Nickelodeon superstars Kenan and Kel are keen to continue their double act, now that Good Burger 2 is in the world.
Good Burger 2 is right around the corner, and in an interview with Variety promoting the film, stars Kenan Thompson and Kel Mitchell were keen to emphasise that it marks the beginning of a new chapter in their working relationship.
Bottom line: there’s more.
Thompson said that “it would be only right for us to continue to go explore what Kenan and Kel could have been when we were in our 20s when we left Nickelodeon and decided to try to figure it out, instead of just automatically doing the Abbott and Costello thing”.
He added that “now that we’re older and sharper and wiser and this that and the other, we can do it at such a high level on so many different outlets or whatever.

Arriving a whopping 26 years after 1997’s cult-favorite Nickelodeon comedy, “Good Burger 2” fits the streaming-era trend in which audiences seek a nostalgia bump reconnecting with old favorites, like “Coming to America” or “Hocus Pocus” — not exactly classics so much as modest pleasures from more innocent times. In this obnoxiously unfunny followup from Paramount+, stars Kel Mitchell and Kenan Thompson return as hapless fast food employees. To update the story to 2023, director Phil Traill and screenwriters Kevin Kopelow and Heath Seifert add a few new characters and a tiresome AI plot, winding up with a Thanksgiving diversion that functions just fine playing in the background as families gather for their holiday meals.
The hook here is presumably a Kenan and Kel reunion, which the movie serves up without delay: Ed (Mitchell) now owns the Good Burger restaurant, where he serves as a benevolent boss, treating his employees with empathy while never...

Welcome to Good Burger, home of the Good Burger … you know how it goes. Kenan Thompson and Kel Mitchell are back as Dexter and Ed in Good Burger 2, the Paramount+ sequel to the hit 1997 movie (originally an All That sketch), and for one of them, the years have definitely been kinder. It’s been over 20 years for these characters, and while Ed is doing “very well,” according to Thompson, Dex is not. “My character is hijinks-ing himself into a troublesome situation and calls on an old friend to see what’s going on,” Thompson tells TV Insider in the video interview above. In Good Burger 2 (streaming November 22), Dexter is down on his luck after another one of his inventions fails. Ed welcomes Dex back to Good Burger — where there’s a new crew working — with open arms and gives him his old job back. Dex devises a plan...

Kel Mitchell was all smiles at the Good Burger 2 premiere in New York on Monday night, just days after he experienced a “genuinely frightening” medical incident.
The actor seemed to be in good spirits at the Regal Union Square event, where he was accompanied by wife Asia Lee-Mitchell and their children, with Kel and Asia carrying their excited kids down the carpet.
Later, when Mitchell’s longtime onscreen collaborator and Good Burger 2 co-star Kenan Thompson arrived, one of Mitchell’s kids ran straight to Thompson, who gave the child a hug.

Speaking with The Hollywood Reporter before the screening of the Paramount+ sequel, Mitchell insisted he’s “good,” something he’s said multiple times since the health scare.
But he also shared some perspective on the incident and indicated that he was happily persevering.

Over 25 year after Nickelodeon brought us the tasty screwball comedy "Good Burger," Kenan Thompson and Kel Mitchell are cooking again with a sequel coming to Paramount+ this month. "Good Burger 2" finds the burger boys reunited when Dexter Reed's (Thompson) entrepreneurial spirit is crushed by a poorly conceived invention that puts him out of business, so he ends up working with his old friend Ed (Mitchell) back at Good Burger. But Dexter is still looking for an opportunity to get some start-up money for his next big idea, and it ends up creating trouble for the fast food location all over again.
When you have a comedy like "Good Burger" getting a sequel, it only makes sense to have some kind of fast food crossover promotion. However, no one would have expected the fast food crossover to happen with a chain that isn't exactly known for its burgers. The...

Kai Cenat is furthering his big-screen dreams with a role in a nostalgic sequel. The streaming star will make an appearance in Good Burger 2, an upcoming film led by Kenan Thompson and Kel Mitchell.
The original Good Burger film, released in 1997, evolved out of a bit from Nickelodeon’s prime-time sketch show All That. Thompson and Mitchell were two of All That‘s breakout stars, and they created an iconic setting by depicting their adventures at a run-down burger joint. Good Burger‘s (widely-panned) trip to the big screen featured cameos from 90s icons like Sinbad and Shaquille O’Neal.
Though the Good Burger movie drew negative reviews from critics, it endured as a cultural touchstone of the Millennial generation. More than 25 years after its theatrical release, Good Burger is getting a sequel. Good Burger 2 will arrive on the Paramount Plus streaming service on November 22.

Kenan Thompson and Kel Mitchell are hungry to save their jobs in the first full trailer for Paramount+’s comedy sequel Good Burger 2.
The streaming service released the trailer Monday for director Phil Traill’s film that is set to launch Nov. 22. The movie centers on Dexter (Thompson) and Ed (Mitchell) reuniting as staff members at Good Burger as the pair attempt to help the struggling fast food establishment amid its parent company’s plans to grow the brand.
This footage shows plenty of hijinks for the two leads as they get reconnected. “It really means a lot that you came to see me,” Mitchell tells Thompson.
At a different point in the trailer, the guys learn that MegaCorp is planning to expand Good Burger globally but intends to fire the restaurant’s staff. “MegaCorp wants to replace everybody with robots,” Thompson warns. “We gotta do something!”

Welcome back to Good Burger! After years of teasing a sequel, Kenan Thompson and Kel Mitchell are back for "Good Burger 2." On Aug. 21, Paramount+ dropped the first teaser, and it seems like no time has passed because Ed and Dex are up to their old antics. Then, on Oct. 30, the streamer dropped another full trailer for the highly anticipated sequel, teasing "the new adventures of Ed and Dex."
