Figure IT Out - Panelists

Panelists

Either three or all four panelists are taken from Nickelodeon shows airing at the time. Regulars during the original run included All That cast members Amanda Bynes, Lori Beth Denberg (who left after Season 3), and Danny Tamberelli (who also starred in the Nick show The Adventures of Pete and Pete). Now in the revival seasons (5 & 6), the new regular panelists are Matt Bennett & Ciara Bravo.

The first seat on the panel was usually reserved for an older-aged panelist, either an older actor from Nick (usually Kevin Kopelow of All That) or a non-Nickelodeon celebrity (such as Taran Noah Smith of Home Improvement). In several episodes, CatDog, rendered in CGI, and Cousin Skeeter, a puppet character, were panelists, but never at the same time. In Seasons 5 & 6, the first seat can be for anyone, but it's normally reserved for Matt Bennett.

Other guest panelists included Coolio (semi-regular on the 1998 Match Game); Mike O'Malley (host of Nick's Get the Picture and GUTS from 1991–1995); Colin Mochrie (regular on Whose Line Is It Anyway?), who, along with Kevin Kopelow, was notably slimed for "having a shiny head"; Paul Wight (WWE's "The Big Show", then known as "The Giant"); Chris Jericho also from WWE; "Hacksaw" Jim Duggan (WWE Hall of Famer); and Rondell Sheridan (regular on the 1998 Match Game).

There was also an episode where Lori Beth and Summer switched roles for half of an episode. Summer took Lori Beth's seat as a panelist, and Lori Beth took Summer's role as the host for Game 1.
