Acting career

And later, he became an original regular along with co-stars Angelique Bates, Lori Beth Denberg, Katrina Johnson, Kel Mitchell, Alisa Reyes, and Kenan Thompson.[1]
Server began on All That at age 15 to tape the pilot for the show. His characters include Detective Dan, Earboy, Jimmy Bond Agent 1/7, and Bernie Kibbitz. In 1997, he and a few cast members starred in the 1997 feature film Good Burger (based on the All That sketch of the same name).

Starting in 1997, he and other All That alumni were panelists on the Nickelodeon game show, Figure It Out where he appeared until 1998.

Server returned to All That for its 10th Anniversary special which aired in 2005, reprising a few of his characters. In 2006, he made a guest appearance in a third season episode of Drake & Josh.
In 2006, Server began starring in the web series Laugh Out Loud with Kenan Thompson.[3] In early 2007, he appeared in a season 3 episode of Ned's Declassified School Survival Guide and an episode of Sam & Cat in 2014.
He's made several All That reunion-type appearances, such as 2015 New York Comic-Con and a 2018 episode of Wild 'n Out, culminating in recurring in the 2019 revival of All That, along with Denberg, and Mitchell, starting with the season premiere.
