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":"2026-04-13T07:25:09.510Z","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"}}] ```
