'All That' Star Lori Beth Denberg On The '90s Show & Her Favorite Guest Star | TODAY Originals

[@ThatFreikugel]

You gotta admit, we had some really great shows in the 90s.

[@alexm5600]

Agreed! I can honestly say I've watched more different TV shows in the 90's than I have throughout the 2000's and 2010's!

[@kdholden]

If Only Punky Bruster was there with her camera off set!!

[@lopezbiglos]

“I gotta admit” reminds me that Batman movie, with Jokers line 😂

[@Ah-ed6ie]

90s shows were good to watch summer, rain, Sleat or snow.

[@Artanis667]

I think All That is still funnier than SNL

[@2uitdoesntmatter]

The 90’s was a unique time where children’s/youth programming didn’t pander to kids. Rather shows, commercials, and products spoke the language. Nickelodeon especially. It was almost like the Wild West. Anything went and it felt genuine, authentic, and fun. All That is a prime example. A show about kids being kids, not adults perspective or projection of kids acted by kids. Most importantly...It wasn’t about a kid trying to be a superhero, a celebrity, or a social media star. The kids were authentic in just being kids! It was relatable. Lori Beth was a key part of a key show, in a key time. Thank you for the humor, perspective, and being one of the faces and voices of a generation.

[@MrMostDaysOff]

Very well said. Kids being kids. What a concept 😁

[@noni909able]

2uitdoesntmatter yes but knowing what Dan Schneider did to the kids allegedly... changes how I feel about this show.

[@MikeBoucher]

@@noni909able What did he allegedly do? And what is the source?

[@PointlessAggression]

Ren and Stimpy, the adventures of Pete and Pete and Kablam along with MTVs Liquid Television inspired [adult swim]. Oh and Spike and Mike's Sick & Twisted Animation Festival. Those were the days

[@Chapacabra23]

Mike Boucher youtube is a pretty good source. Look it up.

[@alisom8210]

Everybody gets old, because time is the most unstoppable force in the universe. Kids today will reminisce 30 years from now about 20-teens just like us, going, “Ah, 2010s were the best time to grow up! Logan Paul, Ricegum, Pewdiepie, Instagram butt models, Donald Trump, ah nostalgia!”

[@christophersmith8272]

[@cicic5340]

Because shes fat. Usually when you're over weight the fat fills the wrinkles. If she lost weight she would probably look really old. Not bashing her but that is what happens

[@kaitlynneprozan4187]

Right. I would never guess she's in her 40s

[@Eyeyamgod]

She's not that old right now lol

[@FuddleTV]

Your stupid AF, look at her face and listen to her voice. She hasn't aged well she has been hitting the cigarettes hard and it shows.

Laurie Beth had me dying every time she was on screen. She is hilarious!! Loved the loud librarian, Ms. Fingerly and Connie. Also she had such a funny relationship with the big ear of corn.

Keenan is the worst "comedian" on snl and in real life hes not even funny in interviews . He just pops his eyes out and screams that's all

I loved her on TSHS. I noticed as all that went on and hired new people the show became less funny. Britney spear's sister ( Jamie Lynn spears ) played on all that before she got her own show. Amanda banes came in after the 1st season because the staff on the show where afraid that cast member that she replaced would rat them out about how they really treated her. I can't remember her name but her life was sad :(
