GIOVONNIE SAMUELS, A child actor hired for three seasons of Nickelodeon’s All That in the early 2000s, dreamed of becoming a TV star. As she filmed her intro dance to TLC’s “All That” for the show’s title sequence, those aspirations became real. She lived out her dreams again as she interviewed Tony Hawk — who taught her how to kickflip — for Stacey Chit, a mock talk-show segment.
It was must-see TV for millions of ’90s kids, but behind the scenes of producer Dan Schneider’s hit Nickelodeon shows were allegations of toxic workplace conditions.
