Figure It Out was a kids' game show that aired on Nickelodeon from 1997 to 2013. It was hosted by Lori Beth Denberg, Jeff Sutphen, and Elle Young at different times throughout the show's run. The premise of the show involved a panel of celebrity guests, typically actors, musicians, or athletes, who would attempt to guess the hidden talent or secret about a young contestant of their choosing. The contestants ranged in age from pre-school to high school, and each had a unique and often impressive talent or skill to show off to the panel.

Each episode would begin with the panel being introduced to the contestant, who would give a brief introduction of themselves and their talent. The talent could be anything from making balloon animals to speaking three languages fluently. The panel would then have to ask yes-or-no questions to try and figure out the contestant's talent within a limited time frame. If the panel guessed correctly, they would win a prize, but if they were unable to figure it out, the contestant would win the grand prize.

The show was known for its wacky and unpredictable panelists, who would often go to great lengths to try and figure out the contestant's secret. Some of the biggest names in entertainment appeared on the show, including Britney Spears, Kenan Thompson, and Amanda Bynes.

In addition to the main game, each episode featured smaller games and challenges that involved the panel and sometimes even the audience. These games ranged from physical challenges to brain teasers, and were always entertaining to watch.

One of the most iconic aspects of the show was its use of slime. The show's catchphrase, "I don't know, but I've been slimed!" became a cultural phenomenon and is still associated with Nickelodeon to this day. Contestants, panelists, and even the hosts themselves were often subjected to buckets of green slime being poured on them in the middle of the game.

Overall, Figure It Out was a fun and engaging show that entertained kids and adults alike for many years. Its unique format and memorable catchphrase have cemented it as a beloved part of Nickelodeon's history.
