Gabriel Iglesias Apologizes To Katt Williams For Wearing A Dress On Nickelodeon’s All That

TL;DR

Gabriel Iglesias wore a cheerleader costume on Nickelodeon's *All That* because producers kept dressing him in skirts for his girl voice characters.

Key Points

• 1.Gabriel joined *All That* around 1999–2000 to replace both Kenan Thompson and Kel Mitchell after they left for their own show, earning $3,500 per weekend versus his previous $300–$400 doing club standup.
• 2.Producers constantly dressed Gabriel in wigs, skirts, and costumes because of his convincing girl voice, prompting him to joke-apologize to Katt Williams for going along with it.
• 3.During a live taping, Gabriel ran onto the set in a cheerleader outfit with bangs obstructing his vision, slammed into a stage beam, and knocked himself unconscious in front of the live studio audience.
• 4.At the hospital, news stations flooded in expecting Enrique Iglesias after hearing an "Igles" entertainer was injured — only to find Gabriel still in a skirt and wig with a concussion.
• 5.While unconscious in the hospital, Nickelodeon sent someone with a waiver forcing Gabriel to sign away liability under threat of firing — then fired him anyway, which is why he has never returned for reunion shows.
