Kel Mitchell Reveals 'All That' Cast Members Tried To 'Sabotage Me': 'It Was Wild'
Kel Mitchell spilled the tea on his Nickelodeon days in a recent interview.
On Tuesday, the "All That" star got candid about his time with the network, past audition stories and some personal moments in his life, among many others in the "Baby, This is Keke Palmer" podcast.
Over 38 minutes into his interview, Mitchell revealed a memory about his co-stars on "All That," a sketch comedy children's TV show that premiered in the early '90s. He claimed that they tried to "sabotage" his career.
"Being in this business, friends and things get lost so I [ended] up being the type of person where it was like, 'OK, alright, I'm gonna do me.' And that's a real Virgo thing," he told Palmer.
"When I was getting that popularity, it was even some things that happened with other cast members [who] weren't on the show [who] were trying to sabotage me on certain types of things. And it was just, it was wild."
Before this revelation, the "Kenan & Kel" star talked about his then-partner-in-crime, Kenan Thompson, and how his early success affected their relationship.
"It was deep. Like, even when I hear him say that now, even on his podcast, I remember him saying that when he got the show, Kenan, he was excited because he felt like Kenan and Kel was my show," he said.
"And when I first heard it, I was kind of hurt by it. Cause I was just like, no bro. I've never thought of it in that way. You know what I mean? I've always thought it was both of us. I never looked at it like, Oh, this is my show. I'm like, this is us together."
Aside from being allegedly "sabotaged" by the cast members and having a falling out with Kenan, Mitchell talked to Palmer about a time he got into a "big argument" with Dan Schneider, saying that things started changing on the show after the original production crew left.
"The vibe of the show started to change a little bit. Brian Robbins started to do 'Varsity Blues' and all these different movies, and the production team started to blow up, so they left. And they left us with the head writer, Dan Schneider," he recalled.
"So he's writing, and me and him kind of bump heads a little bit, and I remember me and Dan had a big argument on set. He was like, 'Let's go over here to this closet.' He closed the door, and he just took off, you know, just yelling all this wild stuff."
"And so being from the Chi [and] an adult at this point, I had a decision to make, you know what I mean? I was just like, okay, either we going to fight or either I'm going to leave. And so that's what I did. I left this situation," he said.
