I LIVE IN A CARDBOARD BOX!
Amanda really seemed destined for greatness (probably the most naturally gifted of all the Nick stars), extremely sad seeing how her life has gone.
I guess the biggest Dan Schneider success story would probably have to be Ariana Grande or Kenan Thompson. Speaking of Kenan....

Kenan Thompson has opened up about his time as a child star at Nickelodeon and the new perspective he has gained on it following the release of “Quiet on Set: The Dark Side of Kids TV,” a new documentary series that features allegations of abuse against crew members at the network.

Thompson’s comments came Wednesday during an interview on the daytime talk show “Tamron Hall,” touching on his new production banner AFA, his record-breaking tenure on “Saturday Night Live” and his new memoir “When I Was Your Age.”

Thompson got started as a child performer, though, serving as an original cast member of the teenage-cast sketch show “All That” and starring alongside his peer Kel Mitchell in the sitcom “Kenan & Kel” and the feature film “Good Burger,” all of which were produced by Nickelodeon. During the interview with Hall, Thompson confirmed that he has not watched “Quiet on Set,” which features allegations of abuse against “All That” producer and “Good Burger” writer Dan Schneider, who produced and created several Nickelodeon sitcoms.

“It’s a tough subject. It’s tough for me because I can’t really speak on things that I never witnessed. All these things happened after I left, basically. Dan [Schneider] wasn’t really on ‘Kenan & Kel’ like that. He got a ‘Created by’ credit, but it was a different showrunner,” Thompson shared. “All that negativity kind of started happening outside of our tenure [at Nickelodeon]. I wasn’t really aware of a lot of it, but my heart goes out to anyone that’s been victimized, or their families.”

“It’s a good thing that the doc is out and it’s putting things on display that need to be, stories that need to be told for accountability’s sake. But it’s definitely tough to watch because I have fond memories of that place,” Thompson continued. “I have fond memories of my co-stars. To hear that they’ve gone through terrible things like that, it’s really tough.”

When Hall continued by saying that the talk show had reached out to Nickelodeon and that the network stated it was conducting investigations into all allegations, Thompson interrupted: “Well, investigate more. It’s supposed to be a safe space. It’s supposed to be a safe place for kids. So to hear all that is like, ‘How dare you.'”

Investigation Discovery’s “Quiet on Set” details the alleged on-set treatment of child actors, primarily at Nickelodeon shows in the ’90s and early ’00s. The series recently announced a fifth episode, which will feature interviews with “The Amanda Show” and “Drake & Josh” star Drake Bell, “All That” cast members Giovonnie Samuels and Bryan Hearne, Hearne’s mother, Tracey Brown, as well as new interviewee, “All That” cast member Shane Lyons.

This is way darker and sicker than I previously thought it would be. Wow. They were just flagrant. I'm glad that Black dude's mom made them uncomfortable. It seems like a blessing in disguise he was fired, who knows how bad it could have gotten. I wonder if this will deter any current or future predators and if Nickelodeon has really cleaned up it's act yet. Dan Scheider and Brian Peck are really demonic.

Watched these with my niece. I'm 39 and she's 21 so this shyt goes from my childhood to her's. That early 2000s shyt with All That and Drake was crazy. I had already checked out of Nick by then and she was even born yet.
Some of those stories are just plain horrible and those devils will never truly pay for what they did. :francis:
