'90s Nick Kids got a big nostalgia rush back in September when Nickelodeon megastars Kenan Thompson and Kel Mitchell reunited for the first time in 15 years for a new sketch!

But could the comic duo follow up their "Tonight Show" skit with a full-blown "Kenan & Kel" reunion episode?
To celebrate the UK and Irish premiere of his brand-new Nickelodeon show, "Game Shakers", Kel Mitchell told Digital Spy that a special could "most definitely" happen, revealing that he and Kenan Thompson are considering another team-up!
"Oh yeah, we've definitely been talking about it," he said. "Just to get back in those shoes, on stage together, we were both like, 'Oh man, we gotta do something together again'."

Mitchell confirmed to DS that he and Thompson are "still texting" after reviving their "Good Burger" sketch characters Ed and Lester Oaks.
"It was an awesome platform to do it on Jimmy Fallon, we were both fans of Jimmy and it was so much fun," he said. "Everyone loved it, the audience was going crazy, it was awesome.
"I knew there was this love to see us back together and, man, it happened, I'm glad we did it, 'cos it made a lot of people happy and they were excited by it."
Mitchell also told DS that he loves meeting fans of his '90s Nick shows - and he's happy to perform his classic catchphrases if you ask.
"I don't mind, I do it," he said. "I'm not one of those child stars that get upset when people ask me to do it. I think it's cool. If it can put a smile on somebody's face, I'm all about it, man."

37-year-old Mitchell is now back at Nickelodeon with a new show - the sitcom "Game Shakers", devised by "Kenan & Kel" creator Dan Schneider.
"It has that same energy from the '90s," he said. "It's created by Dan - he created "All That" and "Kenan & Kel" - so it definitely does have that same feel."
Except now it's Mitchell - playing the character Double G - who's the adult dealing with a troublesome pack of kids, rather than the other way around.

"I'm not the Dad with the pot-belly that comes down into the living room and shouts at his kids!" he laughed. "Double G's a hip-hop mogul, so he has just as much fun as the kids. He definitely has a young soul."
"Game Shakers" follows a pair of 7th grade girls, Babe (Cree Cicchino) and Kenzie (Madisyn Shipman), who, after creating a wildly successful mobile game app called Sky Whale for a science project, start a gaming company in Brooklyn called Game Shakers with their friend Hudson (Thomas Kuc).
But when superstar rapper Double G (Kel Mitchell, "Kenan & Kel", "All That", "Good Burger"), a super successful, unpredictable rapper, finds out the girls used one of his songs in their game without licensing it, he threatens to sue them for all he is owed! To make things right, Babe and Kenzie decide to make the rap superstar their business partner and hire his son, Triple G (Benjamin Lil P-Nut” Flores, Jr, "The Haunted Hathaways"), as a game consultant. Together, Babe, Kenzie, Hudson, Triple G and Double G will work to make Game Shakers a huge success in the gaming world! Will this new deal be a high score or a game over for Babe and Kenzie? Let the games begin!
Fans can also play "Sky Whale", the game featured in the series' premiere episode, on iOS and Android by downloading the app for free. Additional games that feature in the series will be available to play online at nick.co.uk/gameshakers, where fans can also find quizzes, exclusive behind the scenes clips and images.
