Jimmy Fallon Stages ‘Good Burger’ Reunion on ‘The Tonight Show’
Jimmy Fallon inspired 90s nostalgia for his audience when he reunited "Kenan and Kel" for a "Good Burger" sketch on "The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon" on Wednesday.
Both Kenan Thompson and Kel Mitchell showed up for the humorous segment. The comedians are alums from Nickelodeon's "All That," which ran from 1994 to 2005, and the show's spin off "Kenan & Kel," which aired from 1996 to 2000. Before the skit aired, Nickelodeon producer Dan Schneider, who helmed the 90s shows, urged fans on Twitter to watch "The Tonight Show," according to E! Online.
The host of the late night show introduced the skit by expressing to the audience how much he loves his current job, but how fondly remembers his old job at a restaurant.
"I love hosting this show," Fallon said. "It's the best job I've ever had. But I do have a soft spot for my first job. Back in the 90s when I worked at a local fast food restaurant. In fact, I remember it like it was yesterday."
The seven-minute video stars Fallon, who plays a dorky teenager, serving customers behind a fast food counter. After "Tonight Show" announcer Steve Higgins approaches the counter asking for more mustard, Fallon calls in his supervisor, who turns out to be Mitchell reprising his "Good Burger" role Ed.
"Welcome to Good Burger, home of the good burger, can I take your order," Mitchell says, followed by his signature chuckle.
The Roots' Black Thought orders a "spicy chicken wrap," but is forced to listen to a "spicy chicken rap" performed by Mitchell and Fallon. Thompson, who plays a construction worker, is physically shaken by Mitchell after he orders a milkshake.
At the end of the skit, Black Thought returns and offers the pair a record deal if they can convince him they have one more hit song. This is when Mitchell and Fallon start to sing their own rendition of "We're All Dudes," and everyone involved in the sketch joins in.
In the past, Fallon has featured actors from other old 90s TV shows, such as "Saved By the Bell" and "Full House," performing skits on the late night show.
