Jimmy Fallon reunites Kenan and Kel on ‘The Tonight Show’

Proving again that he’s master of orchestrating the reunions you didn’t know you wanted, as with “Full House� and “Saved By The Bell,� Jimmy Fallon reunited Kel Mitchell and Kenan Thompson for a “Good Burger� sketch on Wednesday night’s show.

For those not trapped in an ever-rotating carousel of 90s nostalgia, who may not understand the significance of the reunion, Mitchell and Thompson were originating cast members of Nickelodeon’s kids sketch comedy show “All That,� a show that would eventually launch the career of Amanda Bynes. The pair, known as Kenan & Kel, were breakout stars who landed their own eponymously-titled sitcom on Nickelodeon, as well as the feature film “Good Burger,� based on the sketch.

Though modern TV audiences may recognize Thompson from his work on “Saturday Night Live,� Mitchell has held a lower profile of late, but recently made his return to television on “Game Shakers� a new sitcom on Nickelodeon centered around a Brooklyn gaming company.

“It was so, so great. Kenan and I are still talking about it,� Mitchell said in an interview on Thursday, “It was awesome to be back in that zone again and be on set together. It felt like old times.� Mitchell also had nothing but high praise for “The Tonight Show� crew, saying, “Jimmy and his crew did an awesome job of how they made it look. I mean, it looked like the real set!�

More than anything, however, what matters is how fans responded to seeing their childhood recaptured, if only for a moment. “To see how people responded was awesome — the cheers had me pumped. Let’s all order spicy chicken wraps.�
