American actor and stand-up comedian Kel Mitchell is involved in many endeavors these days.
The “Kenan & Kel” star is a parent in real-life and plays a hip hop mogul on Nickelodeon's “Game Shakers.” His character “Double G” has one of his songs illegally sampled by a pair of twelve-year-old girls.
Mitchell told Cheddar he’s happy to be back with Nickelodeon and that, as an avid hip hop fan, he enjoys the show.
“It’s a fun character,” he said. “He’s like a mixture between Kanye, 2 Chainz, and Diddy.”
But the show is not the only thing on Mitchell’s plate. He recently re-teamed with former co-star and SNL cast member Kenan Thompson for a “Good Burger” skit on The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon.
He and Thomson worked on “Kenan & Kel” from 1996 to 2000 and on “All That” from 1994 to 2005. The latter program gave rise to the “Good Burger” sketch that eventually turned into a movie in 1997.
The pair remain really good friends, and Mitchell says they’d be down for a remake.
He says he watches Thompson’s SNL skits now and has a few favorite impersonations.
“I think he’s killing the LaVar Ball,” Mitchell said.

Pearson CEO Andy Bird joined Cheddar's "Opening Bell" to talk about a new partnership with famed recording artist manager Simon Fuller to launch a new performing arts school, the Academy of Pop, focused on cultivating the next round of rising stars. While the school will focus predominantly on the arts, Fuller said Bird wanted to partner with the learning company Pearson to add structure to the curriculum. "I think in many areas, the performing arts have suffered within education, and so part of our goal is to sort of put the 'A' into STEM and turn it into STEAM," he said. The first studio is slated to open in Hollywood.
