Kel Mitchell Is Very Grateful for ‘Good Burger’—and God
Some years back, a couple approached Kel Mitchell with a wild story.
“They said they saw Good Burger on their first date… and then they got married,” Mitchell says with a wide grin. “They got married because of Good Burger!”
I, too, saw Good Burger in theaters—by virtue of the fact that it was the only offering at our local cinema. I was 12, and had been an avid consumer of All That, the Nickelodeon sketch-comedy series boasting a troupe of gifted teens—Mitchell, Kenan Thompson, Amanda Bynes, Josh Server, Nick Cannon, and Lori Beth Denberg among them—performing parody skits. It was essentially SNL for kids, and “Good Burger,” featuring Mitchell as Ed, the spaced-out cashier at a fast-food burger joint, was arguably its most popular sketch.
