iCarly Cast Share Thoughts on 4 Kids' Choice Awards Nominations

What's up, Young Hollywood? It's your host Julie Live, and we're at the 2022 Kids' Choice Awards, where we're going to be talking to your favorite celebs walking the orange carpet. So, keep watching. What's up? Nice to meet you. Julie with Young Hollywood.

Awesome. Nice to meet you.

So, you're nominated. Yes. Tonight. Yes. How are you feeling?

A little nervous. This is a big honor. I've been coming to this thing since I was a child. I was going to say you were a little when you came. Like maybe to the waist. You weren't even a kid. Like, over. I've stood on a box peeping over this thing, saying, "I'm nominated." So, um, yeah, getting to stand on my own two feet and look over this thing and say that I'm nominated after this amount of time has been fantastic. And it's kind of fun, too, because we lived our whole iCarly life on the Kids' Show side of the nominations. Now that they've got the family show, and it kind of shows our own progression on the show, being being a show for the grown-ups now, um, and getting nominated on that side of it, it makes me feel, uh, very old. I I feel like the old man looking at all these little Nickelodeon whipper-snappers and

That's like, that used to be you. Like that's literally, you're looking at young you.

I know. I know. Danger Force down there. I see those guys. I know those people. And they're so much cooler than me. Look at them with their suits and their their Prada and their, like, Gucci, and like.

Yeah, their ample hair, their chains, things on their ears. Definitely changed.

Things have changed. Things have changed. I'm wearing black to the Kids' Choice Awards. Now I'm realizing that was a mistake. That was a mistake.

Okay, so also, what would you tell younger self now? Like, now that you're here, what would you have told yourself? Like, do you think you would have ever been here now, uh, doing like, for getting nominated for the iCarly reboot?

I think just the Well, no, because no one really expected iCarly to come back ever. That was as much a surprise to me as anybody else. So, um, yeah, getting getting to do this whole thing again and and get so much of our cast back and have guest casts from all of those legendary episodes be able to come back, it's been massive. Um, I I I think that's the point. I wouldn't have told myself because the surprise part of it has been really fun, and I wouldn't want to take that away.

And aside from all iCarly stuff, who are you most looking forward to seeing tonight, saying hi to?

Um, boy, well, I know, so I after iCarly finished, I started directing, uh, for for Nickelodeon. And so I started on Danger Force. Or sorry, Henry Danger. That was my first show. So, I hear Jace is here. Cooper Barnes might be here. I got to go see him. I got to go hug him because I knew Jace when he was smaller than me. If we want to talk about people peeping up over this thing, and now he's up to here, and it's all not fair. But yeah, I want to I want to yuck it up with some old, uh, old people that I used to work with on the other Nick shows.

Not fair. Not fair. Crazy. And also, like, what's what's your favorite hobby? Like, what do you like to do for fun if you're not filming, you're not directing?

Oh man, um, uh, driving, honestly. Uh, so, I Sounds stupid to say. I'm technically a professional trained race car driver. I did two charity races, and it got me really into driving, and I've never done it since, and I've always wanted to. But since then, um, I like to just go That's my disconnecting time. I go out, take a drive, find a country road, no stop signs, no stoplights. If there are, I will stop at them. I'm just saying I find ones that don't have them. And that's just kind of my my grown-up, uh, old man unwinding time now, which sounds really most people probably have really cool fun, spunky answers, and um, yeah, I go for a drive, like an old grandpa.

Okay, so you iCarly's up for a lot of nominations tonight. How are you feeling about this?

We're up for 150 nominations. It's a very long show. Yeah. We're hoping to win at least 75 of them.

Do you think you have it in the bag?

Yeah, come on. For sure. We got this.

You got this. Okay, so also, your good friend Miranda is, uh, hosting tonight.

That's right. She's going to kill it.

Did you Did you text her good luck or, like,

Oh, yeah. Said, "Break a leg, homie. I think you got this, you know." She's I've been talking to her all week, and she doesn't actually sound that nervous, but you know, but she can like hold She she hides it well. So, but I think she's going to be great. Yeah, for sure.

And okay, so if you had to get slimed, would you be okay with that?

In general or tonight?

Uh, tonight.

Yeah. I would have to be It's a kind of a like a rite of passage to be slimed. Here's the thing. I've been slimed so many times that it's sort of like, get someone new. So, you like Miranda, but Miranda's been slimed a lot. mainly slimed at this point. I don't even need to be crusty and dry. It's all just gross.

You actually style with slime.

That's what I did. I just have a vat They sent me a vat, and I just goop it through. It's a whole thing.

Also, okay, so season two of iCarly just came out. Yes. How do you feel about, you know, you filmed it all and now it's out to the world?

It's out to the world. Uh, I hope they love it. It's, uh, it's very funny. Lots of great, uh, guest stars from the original series come back. Um, more stunts. I think we get a little like crazier with it because like season one, we had to establish where everybody's been. But now we can just go nuts. Like, now you know, now you know what you're getting, and we can get crazy.

How do you feel going back to kind of like your roots and being in this iCarly reboot?

Um, I didn't expect it. It's odd, but it feels it's like riding a bike. It's like all our old chemistry just came right back, all all the It's just it feels, uh, familiar. Yeah.

If you could have anyone guest star on iCarly, who would it be besides the anyone that's been in the original?

My So, there was a character in the original that you never see, but Spencer's friend Socko, and I just think Charlie Day would be like the best Socko. Just saying. Putting that out in the universe.

iCarly's nominated for Kids' Choice Awards. It's honestly such an honor to be nominated for a Kids' Choice Award because the show started with kids. I grew up watching this as a kid. I'm around the same age as, uh, Nathan and Miranda. So, growing up, I never thought when I was watching it at home that I would be on the show, which is crazy. And it's so dope to see people's responses. We dropped on April 8th, and like, even Twitter and all social media, people have been reaching out and saying how much they're enjoying the second season, and that's amazing.

Yeah, because I was going to ask you, did you you watched iCarly when you were younger? So, how does it feel, like, what did you feel when you got the call that you had gotten the part?

So, it was crazy for me because it happened kind of in a weekend. I got a call, I didn't even, like, have a regular audition for it. I got a call that was like, "Do you want to test and like get on Zoom with Nathan, Miranda, and Jerry and and just read the parts?" And I was like, "O-okay." And so, it was funny because I had met Miranda shooting a Snickers commercial right before the pandemic hit. And they put Miranda next to me and we're like, "Can you teach her the Snickers song that we all sing into this big hole?" Which you probably have never seen this commercial outside of the Super Bowl because then the pandemic happened, right? But so, I taught her the song, and we're standing out in the freezing cold singing, and then the next time I see her is on Zoom auditioning for iCarly, and it all

Oh, that's wild, though.

Such a small world. But also, it was a testament to Miranda is because she was very sweet and nice to me when she had no clue who I was, and I was just a random actor teaching her a song, and was so cool. So, when I like got the audition, I was like, "Well, I really enjoyed that moment, like, let's see what the show's about." And being on iCarly has felt like being in a museum because we have some of the original sets, and I watched it as a kid, so I walk in, I'm like, "Oh, let's touch it." Like, "Ooh." I remember that. Right? I remember the joke box. I remember this uh, little plastic man. Let me let's touch it.

nominated for a lot of awards in for iCarly. So, how do you feel about, like, would you want to get slimed if you were to win?

Oh, yes, I would love to get slimed and also win. I mean, that would be like a double win to me.

Do you Do you have any guesses what the slime would taste like? Ew. Would you want to taste it? Like

Um, I don't know because when I make slime, it's out of glue. So, I feel like it would taste like lime. I don't know. Yeah, like the green. Yeah. Yeah, it could definitely taste like lime.

And who's one person you're looking forward to seeing tonight? Um, probably Jordan Fisher. I'm like a really big fan of him, so that'll be really cool.

Well, congrats on all the nominations.

Thank you.

And have a great time at the Kids' Choice Awards.

Yes, you too.
