![]() ![]() Oh yeah, he also hosted something else on TV dressed like a pirate, some cartoon thing AND!!! He had the Sinbad TV show where he had a bunch of funny skits with kids in them, all the while he is dressing goofy too with big pants and stuff. These were probably side by freaking side, sitting next to the comedians movies based on having the SAME NAME right in your local video store and you are just mixing all the above memories together and creating a fictional genie film that never existed. Look on EBay for Sinbad vhs tapes, there are a BUNCH of cartoon SINBAD vhs tapes with a genie character and flying carpets etc. ![]() The guy pretty much dressed like a genie all the time with huge colorful pants on, especially on his stand-up vhs covers. Sinbad has acted in a couple movies where he interacts with kids and has some heart to heart moments with them or teaches them lessons of some sort. the kids name was Ishboo and Sinbad was his dad SINBOO, who is dressed EXACTLY LIKE A DAMN GENIE HANGING OUT WITH KIDS. Sinbad was ALSO the very very genie-like dad to a foreign student on Nickelodeon's popular 90's show ALL THAT. Sinbad was in JINGLE ALL THE WAY and was flying around at the end as some supervillain with kids present. The Shaq movie KAZAAM was real and on shelves Why do I now write off this ME? Here are the reasons: And after doing just 20 minutes of internet research, I know it was just a false memory. I was hoping the show would be picked up, meaning that the network would like the pilot and order more episodes.I too, believed there must have been a movie called SHAZAM starring Sinbad. We had a blast!Īfter we made the All That pilot, some time went by and I didn't hear much of anything. By January of 1994, we were all at Nickelodeon Studios in Orlando, Florida, filming the pilot for All That. As head writer, I did my best to create great characters and make everything as funny as I could. With the cast in place, I started working with a few other talented writers, and soon we had a script. And every one of them was hard-working, professional, nice, and fun. We couldn't believe how confident and hilarious they all were, as performers. Every kid we ended up hiring for the original All That cast turned out to be fantastic: Josh Server, Kenan Thompson, Kel Mitchell, Katrina Johnson, Lori Beth Denberg, Angelique Bates, and Alisa Reyes. ![]() We didn't just find "good" kid comedy actors – we found incredible ones. We did a nation-wide talent search and got very lucky. We wanted to create characters and sketches that would be perfectly suited for the kid actors we hired. Then, once we had our cast, I would write the script, tailoring the sketches to the specific actors' comedy strengths. Almost always, you write the first show (the pilot), and then you hire the cast.īut for All That, our plan was to search the country for the best kid comedy actors we could find. In fact, we felt casting was so crucial that we decided I would not write the pilot script until we had our whole cast in place. We knew that, for a sketch comedy show, casting was extremely important. But we decided to proceed a different way. It was proper to bark like a dog while proposing a toast. ![]() It was proper in Ishboo's foreign land (which was never named) to shout 'Walla Walla Woo' and hide behind furniture in a panic after somebody sneezed. Once we had a basic concept for the show, the next logical step was for me to write the pilot script (for the first episode). Ishboo (played by Kenan Thompson) was a foreign exchange student whose customs were rather unusual to Americans. The fact that it was going to be for a young audience just made it a bit more challenging, because we'd have to keep all the comedy kid-appropriate. I always loved sketch comedy, so the idea of creating that type of show was exciting for me. We started talking about creating a sketch comedy show. So, when Brian talked to me about the idea of us creating a new TV show for Nickelodeon, I thought it sounded like a fun "side job" – just something to keep me busy for a while. Brian then called me and we met at Art's Deli, one of our favorite lunch places in Los Angeles.Īt that time, I had a solid acting career going, but I was between gigs. Brian suggested bringing me in, and Albie agreed. and ABC for Head of the Class.īy 1993, our friend Albie had become a high-level executive at Nickelodeon, and he had been talking with Brian about possibly making a new show. We even talked about creating a project together, but we couldn't (at that time) because Brian and I were under contract with Warner Bros. Brian and I got along well with Albie, and we struck up a friendship that continued after the Kids' Choice Awards. The awards show was produced by a very talented guy named Albie Hecht. ![]()
