For countless fans who grew up during the late 1990s and early 2000s, Knowings will always be remembered as one of the standout young performers on All That, the Nickelodeon comedy series that helped launch the careers of numerous future stars.
Born and raised in the Bronx, Knowings joined the cast in 1997 and went on to appear in more than 30 episodes. She had loved the show long before becoming part of it, and it was her twin brother who encouraged her to audition after telling her she would fit perfectly with the cast. His advice proved correct, and she soon became one of the show’s familiar faces.
During her time on All That, Knowings worked alongside performers including Kenan Thompson, Kel Mitchell, Nick Cannon, Lori Beth Denberg, Danny Tamberelli, Jamie Lynn Spears, and Amanda Bynes.
One of her most memorable recurring sketches was Whateverrr!, in which she and Amanda Bynes portrayed two energetic, celebrity-obsessed teenage girls hosting their own television program.
Reflecting on the sketch during a 2019 interview with Bustle, Knowings said it represented something larger than comedy.
