This is probably because he was getting older and/or all the other original cast members (namely Bates, Denberg, Johnson, Mitchell, Reyes, Thompson) had left the show, leaving him and a few others to adjust to the changes.

, taking Thompson's place for the third and final season. The show went on hiatus after a 14 episode season.
To keep the show running, the producers compiled a series called, "Best of All That", which were episodes featuring the Season 4 cast members:
Amanda BynesAmanda Laura Bynes is an American actress, comedian, singer, and fashion designer.

Eventually, Nickelodeon canceled
All That for a short time. Josh Server became the longest serving cast member since being an original from the first season in 1994. In the meantime, the show won another KCA in 2000, and went into reruns until 2001.
All That skipped the 2000–2001 television season during the lead-up to its relaunch.
New era begins (2002–2005)
After the television season hiatus, the new era of
All That began in 2002. Nickelodeon has titled the second run of
All That, "
The Relaunch Era". This is because at the beginning when Nickelodeon ended the first run, all the old cast members from Season 6 were replaced by a new cast.
Other changes occurred before the start of the season as well. The show got rid of the long-running sketch "Vital Information". Which had been featured in every show since the first season. Instead they replaced it with a new sketch called "Know Your Stars", which was featured in almost every episode of this season and onward. The show also got rid of the traditional green room, where the cast would hang out. In this season, the cast would be featured walking around the studio instead of being in one area. Another change was the absence of Kevin Kopelow. A long-running gag in the first six seasons was Kevin The Stage Manager, who was usually hurt in some way. Instead he replaced with Pickle Boy, a random person who would usually be seen offering people pickles.
Now, the new openings are: The theme opening
(with audience as sound fx), cast members in alphabetical order, Special Guest (if necessary), musical guest, and ending groups.
Season Seven - (2002)

All That featured special guests

and aired from January 19, 2002 to May 4, 2002. The seventh season and ongoing season theme openings/outro themes were slightly remixed to fit the relaunch. In this particular episode, Muniz was seen running around the streets grabbing random people to be the new cast members. It also doesn't have an announcer saying "fresh out of the box, stop, look and watch, ready yet, get set, it's
All That." Also on every beginning of an episode, you don't hear the
All That instrumental theme.
