‘SNL’ alum preps new kids show

- — Emily Mae Czachor

The sketch-comedy goofballs behind the side-splitting absurdity that was Nickelodeo­n’s “All That” are back, and they’re teaming up for Round 2. Only this time, they’re launching a kids-centric, live-action sketch comedy show for the next generation.

“Saturday Night Live” veteran Kenan Thompson is partnering with fellow “All That” alumni to create “Skoogle,” a series with a titular character (voiced by Thompson) that is a Siri-like digital assistant.

“Skoogle” will satirize “everything from service apps to streaming entertainm­ent to social media,” a news release said. Production is slated for this fall.
