Here's a look at how our favorite TV shows—from "Game of Thrones" to "Scandal" and "Breaking Bad"—keep us coming back for more._ by [Nash Jenkins](https://time.com/author/p-nash-jenkins/) ## Nash Jenkins Sep 24, 2015 6:38 AM UTC  Kenan Thompson and Kel Mitchell during the "Good Burger" skit on The Tonight Show on September 23, 2015 Kenan Thompson and Kel Mitchell during the "Good Burger" skit on The Tonight Show on September 23, 2015 NBC—NBCU Photo Bank via Getty Images by [Nash Jenkins](https://time.com/author/p-nash-jenkins/) ## Nash Jenkins Sep 24, 2015 6:38 AM UTC Comedy these days has no shortage of riotous duets: Key and Peele; Amy Poehler and Tina Fey; John Mulaney and Nick Kroll. But years before any of these acts, Generation Y was watching Kenan Thompson and Kel Mitchell, who starred on the Nickelodeon sketch program _All That_ during its heyday in the mid-1990s, and whose eponymous television series was one of the most popular shows targeting the youth audience during its run from 1996 to 2000. On Wednesday night’s episode of _The Tonight Show,_ host Jimmy Fallon reunited the pair, to the abject delight of his audience. It was, after all, the first time they’ve appeared onscreen together since _All That_‘s [10th anniversary special in 2005](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T-u-IDFwDE8). The seven-minute sketch riffs on their 1997 film _Good Burger,_ the tale of two delightfully inept fast food workers that is now a cult classic in the nostalgia canon. This time, though, Fallon joined Mitchell — whom has stayed mostly out of the spotlight with the exception of a [2006 death hoax on MySpace](http://www.theatlantic.com/entertainment/archive/2013/12/whatever-happened-to-kel-from-em-kenan-kel-em-as-explained-by-kel/282449/) and a few other [appearances](http://time.com/4030273/kel-mitchell-game-shakers-interview/) — behind the Good Burger counter. Thompson, now a 12-season stalwart of the _Saturday Night Live_ cast, plays a construction worker who comes by to order a Double Good Burger and some Good Fries. The sketch was a joint creation of _All That_ producer Dan Schneider—who recently hired back Mitchell to star in his new Nickeloden show, _Game Shakers_—and _Tonight Show_ writer Mike DiCenzo. Schneider asked Kenan and Kel if they were game to revive the _Good Burger_ sketch, and they agreed. (Schneider’s wife, Lisa Lillien, author of the _Hungry Girl_ cookbook series, make a cameo as a guest.) > [](https://twitter.com/mikedicenzo/status/646896716881489920) _Read next:_ [_Kel Mitchell On His Return to Nickelodeon and Why He Still Loves Orange Soda_](http://time.com/4030273/kel-mitchell-game-shakers-interview/) ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/4047709/tonight-show-fallon-good-burger/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/4047709/tonight-show-fallon-good-burger/"},"headline":"Watch Kenan and Kel Reunite at Good Burger on The Tonight Show","datePublished":"2015-09-24T06:38:52.000Z","dateModified":"2026-08-04T07:48:04.625Z","description":"Welcome back to the most famous fictional fast food restaurant of the 1990s","url":"https://time.com/4047709/tonight-show-fallon-good-burger/","keywords":["Newsfeed","Television","nostalgia","nickelodeon"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt91de1383aa19ac73/69886529ab6d77f71f6a654f/gettyimages-489709788.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Nash Jenkins","jobTitle":null,"url":"https://time.com/author/p-nash-jenkins/"}],"articleSection":"","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt91de1383aa19ac73/69886529ab6d77f71f6a654f/gettyimages-489709788.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675,"headline":"The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon - Season 3","caption":"The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon - Season 3","creditText":"NBC—NBCU Photo Bank via Getty Images","representativeOfPage":true}],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/tag/time-section-newsfeed/","name":"Newsfeed"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/4047709/tonight-show-fallon-good-burger/","name":"Watch Kenan and Kel Reunite at Good Burger on The Tonight Show"}}]},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"VideoObject","name":"5 Reasons TV's Top Shows Are So Addictive","description":"Here's a look at how our favorite TV shows—from \"Game of Thrones\" to \"Scandal\" and \"Breaking Bad\"—keep us coming back for more.","thumbnailUrl":"https://cdn.jwplayer.com/v2/media/2RqNgPrk/poster.jpg?width=720","uploadDate":"2014-01-16T20:47:22.000Z","contentUrl":"https://cdn.jwplayer.com/manifests/2RqNgPrk.m3u8","embedUrl":"https://time.com/4047709/tonight-show-fallon-good-burger/","duration":"PT2M16S","potentialAction":{"@type":"SeekToAction","target":"https://time.com/4047709/tonight-show-fallon-good-burger/?jw_start={seek_to_second_number}","startOffset-input":"required name=seek_to_second_number"}}] ```
