Joe Otterson TV Reporter “Good Burger 2” will be the launch pad for a new era of collaboration between Kenan Thompson and Kel Mitchell, according to the two actors. In an interview with Variety, Thompson says he and Mitchell will “one million percent” keep working together after the debut of the long-awaited sequel to their cult classic Nickelodeon film on Paramount+. “It would be only right for us to continue to go explore what Kenan and Kel could have been when we were in our 20s when we left Nickelodeon and decided to try to figure it out, instead of just automatically doing the Abbott and Costello thing,” Thompson says.
“Now that we’re older and sharper and wiser and this that and the other, we can do it at such a high level on so many different outlets or whatever. We know so much now. There’s so many different parts to the business.
There’s so many different opportunities and we’re just ready to tackle all of that. So it’s very exciting, I think, especially when we’ll be able to own it.” Thompson and Mitchell first met when they were both cast members on the Nickelodeon sketch comedy series “All That,” from which “Good Burger” originated. Along with the success of the first film, the duo worked together for four seasons on their own Nickelodeon series “Kenan & Kel.” Once the show ended, they “were exploring life as individuals for a while,” Thompson said, before coming back together when the stars aligned for “Good Burger 2.” The pair have an undeniable comic chemistry, something they noticed as soon as they first met on the set of “All That.” “As soon as I met him, laughter, jokes, the whole entire time,” Mitchell said.
