Denberg Reflects on Her Unexpected Journey with Nickelodeon’s “All That”

Denberg, a member of the original cast of Nickelodeon’s “All That,” initially approached her audition with little seriousness. She earned her place on the show after winning a high school drama competition, but described her audition as something done “like a total lark, not like it was some big deal. Just kind of a goof.” At 18, she was the oldest cast member and remarked that she felt no nerves because she wasn’t taking the opportunity seriously.

Despite this initial nonchalance, Denberg’s experience on “All That” proved to be life-defining. In a conversation with The Huffington Post, she shared, “I know how much television meant to me as a kid—I was watching everything and studying it. So to know that I was on a show that brought something positive to other kids really means a lot. I get and give a lot of hugs.”

During her time on Nickelodeon, Denberg became a prominent figure, hosting the “Vital Information” segment and appearing as a panelist on the game show “Figure It Out.” In 1998, she departed from the network to star on “The Steve Harvey Show,” where she remained for four seasons.

Reflecting on her time on “All That,” Denberg expressed gratitude for being slightly older than her peers, noting, “Not all kid actors fare that well, and I could kind of see why. I saw all different kinds of kids and parents and situations.”

After “The Steve Harvey Show” ended in 2002, Denberg continued to make appearances in various projects, including “Dodgeball: A True Underdog Story,” “Malcolm in the Middle,” “Hollywood Darlings,” and a self-referential role in an episode of “Workaholics.” Additionally, she is an ordained minister and has officiated 12 weddings.
