In what would become a recurring theme among the show's alumni, Kenan Thompson and Kel Mitchell were such a big hit on [[Nickelodeon]]'s variety show ''[[All That]]'' that they were [[Sit Comic|given their own TV show]]. Set in Chicago, the sitcom chronicled the misadventures of ambitious Kenan Rockmore and dimwitted Kel Kimble. ''Kenan & Kel'' aired from 1996 to 2000. As of July 25, 2011, it airs as part of [[Teen Nick]]'s "[[The 90s Are All That]]" block
