All That

Knowings remained on the show until the end of Season 6 in 2000. Her characters included Penny Lane (inheriting the role from Alisa Reyes, who herself had inherited the role from Angelique Bates), the dental assistant for Dr. Bynes, Lieutenant Fondue, Jessica from Whateverrr!!!, Yoko from CJ and the Cloudy Knights, Brenda Stone from Channel 6 1/2 News, and Winter Wonders from What Do You Do? What Do You Do? was a parody of the Nickelodeon game show Figure It Out, and Winter Wonders was a parody of Summer Sanders. Knowings herself was a panelist a few times on Figure It Out.
Life after All That

From 2008 to 2011, she made three appearances on episodes of Sesame Street, alongside her real-life twin brother Chris Knowings. In 2020, she released the folk single "To the World".[1]
