All That Live! (100th Episode)
On March 13, 1999, All That celebrated its star-studded "100th episode" during the fifth season, although it was actually the 85th episode to be produced. This one-hour special was one of the only episodes (other than the 10th anniversary) in the show's history produced live. The actual 100th episode occurred with the fifth episode of Season 6, with Hoku as the musical guest.) The Season 5 cast included, in alphabetical order: Amanda Bynes, Leon Frierson, Christy Knowings, Kel Mitchell, Josh Server, Danny Tamberelli, and Kenan Thompson with featured members Nick Cannon & Mark Saul.
The 100th episode featured several celebrities: Melissa Joan Hart (Sabrina the Teenage Witch and Nickelodeon's Clarissa Explains It All), Larisa Oleynik (Nickelodeon's The Secret World of Alex Mack), Robert Ri'chard (Nickelodeon's Cousin Skeeter), and Britney Spears (in a taped video appearance; Spears was originally supposed to perform in person but had to back out due to a knee injury; Lauryn Hill took her place) all made appearances.
Former cast member Lori Beth Denberg, wearing her traditional "Vital Information" outfit, returned to show for the very last time ever to do the "Vital Information" sketch (Danny Tamberelli had taken Denberg's spot by this time). Former cast members Angelique Bates, Katrina Johnson, and Alisa Reyes made brief appearances on the red carpet. After the 100th episode, The show continued on winning its first KCA for Favorite TV Show on May 1, 1999. When this special re-aired in April 2005 in honor of All That's 10th Anniversary, Nickelodeon edited parts of the episode.
