List of episodes

All That's fifth season ran from December 19, 1998, to January 8, 2000.[1] The season contained 24 episodes, alongside a backstage special, with a 100th episode at the tail-end of the season - however, "All That Live!" was created to celebrate the series' 100th show.[2]

Lori Beth Denberg left the series at the end of the previous season. Danny Tamberelli succeeded her in the Vital Information sketch, and Tamberelli was given a new set and a new desk unlike that of Denberg's Vital Information.

Featured cast members Victor Cohn-Lopez and Zach Mclemore were both dropped from the show; producers then hired Nick Cannon and Mark Saul. This would be the final season for Kel Mitchell and Kenan Thompson.
