Nickelodeon May Be Developing New Sketch Comedy Show

On the heels of new Nickelodeon president Brian Robbins revealing that he would like to bring back Nickelodeon's landmark '90s sketch comedy series All That, it sounds like Nickelodeon may be in the midst of developing a brand-new sketch show!


Showfax is reporting that Nickelodeon held two casting sessions on Saturday, January 26, 2019, under the product name "Nickelodeon Comedy Talent Search".

The casting calls, overseen by casting director Tiffany Mak, who has previously served as a casting assistant on the Nickelodeon TV movies Gym Teacher: The Movie and Spectacular! as well as providing casting services for shows such as Kyle XY, Smallville, Supernatural, Battlestar Galactica, The L Word and Bionic Woman, were looking to fill four roles on the project: Jamie & Parker (Episodics) and Kelly & Kyle (Sketch Callbacks, Episodics).

Of course, it may mean something totally unrelated, as Nickelodeon seeks new talent all the time, however, what makes these casting calls stand out is that they mention "Sketch Callbacks" and "Episodics", which indicate that Nick are looking for cast members to feature in more than one episode of a show.

It also doesn't mean that the casting call is for a currently unannounced project. Kids media brand Pocket.watch and Viacom are currently developing Skoogle, a kids sketch comedy show created by and starring Nickelodeon alum Kenan Thompson (All That, Kenan & Kel, Good Burger, Saturday Night Live), for Nickelodeon.

Following the casting calls, a raft of videos featuring the audition tapes of some of the actors hoping to become Nickelodeon's next big star have appeared on Vimeo, including the actors below:
