All That: Lori Beth Denberg

If you attend a school dance with your grandmother, it's best not to advertise it by screaming at the top of your lungs. This and other pearls of wisdom can be found in the legendary segment "Vital Information for Your Everyday Life." A true snark pioneer, Lori Beth was a cast member from 1994 to 1998.

After All That, Lori Beth became a series regular on The Steve Harvey Show and made a guest appearance on Malcolm in the Middle. Lori also played cheerleader Martha Johnstone in 2004's Dodgeball: A True Underdog Story, alongside Vince Vaughn, Ben Stiller, and fellow Nickelodeon vet Christine Taylor.

All That: Kenan Thompson

Everyone who's anyone in Paris has learned Everyday French with Pierre Escargot, thanks to Kenan Thompson, who starred on All That for five seasons. Among his many roles, Kenan was a convenience store clerk, TV cook, and, of course, Superdude.

After All That, Kenan went on to guest-star in a slew of shows, including The Steve Harvey Show, Felicity, and Psych. He also costarred in the feature film Good Burger with Kenan & Kel costar Kel Mitchell. Thompson is currently a cast member on NBC's Saturday Night Live, where his improv cooking and tooth-pulling skills from All That are surely coming in handy.

All That: Kel Mitchell

"Welcome to Good Burger, home of the Good Burger. Can I take your order?" Kel Mitchell was one of the original All That cast members from 1994 to 1999, immortalizing his role as a dim-witted fast food clerk. Check out this Good Burger sketch—and look out for Pete & Pete star Danny Tamberelli!

All That: Amanda Bynes

The baby of the all-kid sketch show All That, Amanda Bynes could be found each week slinging pies or giving hilarious life advice. Watch her very first "Ask Ashley" segment!

From 1999 to 2002, Amanda hosted The Amanda Show on Nickelodeon, went on to star in What a Girl Wants, and did a stint on General Hospital after taking a brief break from acting. She's currently taking classes at FIDM.

All That: Nick Cannon

Before America's Got Talent, Nick had to prove he had some of his own! Cannon joined the cast of All That in 1998 and continued until 2000, when he landed The Nick Cannon Show.

Nick went on to host his own show, then Wild 'N Out and, of course, America's Got Talent. Nick can probably be found changing lots of diapers—he and wife Mariah Carey have twins.

Clarissa Explains It All: Melissa Joan Hart

Clarissa Darling guided many a '90s tween through the issues of the day: bratty little brothers, pet alligators, and optimum utilization of striped knee socks. Check out Clarissa's very first explanation.

The Secret World of Alex Mack: Larisa Oleynik

What happens when you get splashed by nuclear waste? Why, you acquire superpowers, of course! Telekinetic teen Alex Mack may have been able to morph into a puddle and levitate her schoolbooks, but she was as awkward as the rest of us.

Larisa Oleynik, Now

After she surrendered her superpowers in 1998, Larisa went on to guest-star in Boy Meets World, 3rd Rock from the Sun, Without a Trace, Psych, and Mad Men, among others. Most recently, Larisa graced Hawaii Five-0, Mad Men and Pretty Little Liars.

The Secret World of Alex Mack: Jessica Alba

Every supernatural teen needs a nemesis, and that's where Jessica Alba comes in. A 13-year-old Alba played self-involved Jessica in three episodes during Season 1.

Jessica starred in the TV series Dark Angel and appeared in features like Never Been Kissed, Honey, Sin City, and The Little Fockers. Jessica will soon be seen in Sin City: A Dame To Kill For.

The Secret World of Alex Mack: Will Estes

Once Alex grew into her nuclear-powered abilities, she found the time to crush on '90s cutie/tortured teen Hunter Reeves. Hunter and Alex struck up a relationship that was pretty typical—except for her green glow and his super-secret government investigations.

Will Estes, Now

Most recently a series regular on Blue Bloods, Will was also a regular on American Dreams. He also guest-starred on shows like Full House, 7th Heaven, and Law & Order: Special Victims Unit.

The Adventures of Pete & Pete: Danny Tamberelli

What young boy doesn't dream of having a sexy tattoo on his arm and a mom with a plate in her head? "Little Pete" was half of the starring duo on what was arguably Nick's quirkiest show (and that's a big accomplishment), The Adventures of Pete & Pete.

Danny Tamberelli, Now

After Pete & Pete, Danny joined the cast of All That and scored a role in 2002's Igby Goes Down. Check out Danny in ManBoobs, a Funny or Die web series. No word on what's become of Little Pete's tattoo, Petunia.

The Adventures of Pete & Pete: Michael C. Maronna

Big Pete, our trusty narrator, was more reserved and thoughtful than his mischievous little brother. Pete tried his best to tackle bus driving, marching band, and dating while surviving in his bizarre social circle.

Michael C. Maronna, Now

You might also remember Mike as Jeff McCallister in the Home Alone movies. ("Kevin, you're such a disease!") Mike went on to guest-star on Law & Order and Gilmore Girls and starred in Nada Surf's 2008 music video "Whose Authority." Michael currently co-hosts a podcast with Little Pete (Tamberelli).

The Adventures of Pete & Pete: Toby Huss

If you ever need to battle a bowling ball, Artie's your guy. After all, he is "the strongest man... in the world." Artie kept Pete & Pete's neighborhood safe with his spandex-clad sinews.

Toby Huss, Now

After shedding the red tights, Toby Huss amassed quite the character acting catalog. He's been seen in Jerry Maguire, NewsRadio, Carnivale, 30 Rock, Reno 911!, and Cowboys & Aliens.

Hey Dude: Christine Taylor

Camp counselor Melody was sweet and handy with a dance. She evened out the Bar None Dude Ranch staff that included a rich kid, a rocker, and a ranch hand.

Christine Taylor, Now

After hanging up her cowboy hat, Christine Taylor played Marcia Brady in the Brady Bunch movies, costarred with Drew Barrymore and Adam Sandler in The Wedding Singer, and was even on Hannah Montana. Taylor is married to actor Ben Stiller and they have two children together.

Salute Your Shorts: Michael Bower

"Camp Anawanna, we hold you in our hearts/ And when we think about you..." well, you know the rest. Awkward camper Eddie "Donkeylips" Gelfen just tried not to get humiliated on a daily basis.

After camp, Michael Bower snagged roles on Friends, The X-Files, Evolution, Dark Angel, and The Riches. Bower was also featured on the Fox series Bones.

Salute Your Shorts: Danny Cooksey

Camp villain and hijacker of Camp Anawanna's beloved theme song, Budnick's sole purpose in life was to cause trouble and maintain that monster of a mullet he was sporting at the time.

Danny actually got his big break on Diff'rent Strokes, but after Salute Your Shorts, he went on to Pepper Ann, Invader Zim, and G.I. Joe: Renegades.

Blake Sennett Salute Your Shorts tv show photo

Salute Your Shorts: Blake Sennett

Credited as Blake Soper, Blake Sennett played floppy-haired miscreant Ronnie Pinsky, who came into the series during its second season. Pinsky threw a mean curveball and charmed all the girls, so naturally he became Budnick's greatest sworn enemy.

Pinsky did indeed have piano skills—Sennett is now the lead guitarist for indie band Rilo Kiley! Before strapping on the axe, Sennett also guested on Melrose Place, Once and Again, and Buffy the Vampire Slayer.

Double Dare: Marc Summers

When you think of an inflatable pool full of franks and beans, who comes to mind? It's Marc Summers, host of the grossest game show of the '90s, Double Dare! Summers braved the goo and grime with a towel and a smile.

Summers continued to host the family of Double Dare spin-offs after the original ended, but he is most recently seen hosting Food Network's Unwrapped. So after you wade out of the pool full of beans, Marc can tell you how they made it!
