Former All That Star Lori Beth Denberg on Working with Dan Schneider in Recent Interview
During Denberg's tenure on All That, former Nickelodeon showrunner Dan Schneider served as a producer and writer, and he would go on to launch network hits like The Amanda Show, iCarly, and Victorious. When he suddenly parted ways with Nickelodeon in 2018, at the height of the #MeToo movement, rumors of his "abusive behavior," foot fetish, temper, and possible misconduct bubbled to the surface.
"He's not my favorite person," Denberg says. "He is not a pleasant person to work for, and I'm not confirming anything, but I'm not disappointed he won't be darkening the doors of any more people working for him—and it's not just kids, it's anybody."
(The 2019 All That reboot is now helmed by original series writers Kevin Kopelow and Heath Seifert, who Denberg says make it feel like "the ship being driven the right way.")
By the time All That finished its fourth season in 1998, Denberg was approaching her mid-20s and ready to branch out.
"You don't really see a lot of 25-year-olds in kids' TV shows," she says. "It was just time to move on."
