Kenan Thompson and Kel Mitchell remembered their “All That” castmate, Christy Knowings, who died on August 11 from complications following an asthma attack. She was 46.
“Man this one hit hard!!!” Kenan, 48, wrote on Instagram on Thursday. “Rest well Christy!!! Never could have imagined this day!! Sending so much love to her family!! She was a real one and one of the funniest people out here!!! Gonna miss you buddy!!!”
Kel, 47, also remembered his former Nickelodeon castmate.
“Christy was truly one of a kind. So naturally funny, incredibly talented, and fearless when it came to comedy. She had a gift for creating characters that were big, memorable, and completely her own,” he wrote.
Kenan and Kel appeared as regular cast members on the Nickelodeon sketch comedy series with Knowings from 1997 to 2000. The trio returned to the series as guests in later years.
“I’ll always be grateful for the laughs, the memories, and the time we shared as part of the All That family,” Kel continued.
“Christy, thank you for sharing your incredible gift with all of us. Your talent, your characters, and the joy you brought to so many will never be forgotten. Sending my love and deepest condolences to Christy’s family and loved ones. Rest in Heaven, @christyknowings,” he added
Christy was hospitalized on August 7 after she suffered an asthma attack that left her with brain damage, Page Six reports.
The Bronx-born actress was a regular on “All That” for three seasons, appearing alongside Kenan And Kel, Amanda Bynes, Nick Cannon and others.
