Hey, everyone. I'm back.
[MUSIC]
I know you see
- Rolling?
- Rolling.
Come look at this! He uploaded us!
[SOFT CHATTER]
Thirty-seven-thousand!
- [SCREAMING]
- My baby sister's a web star!
I'm Carly Shay, and this is
a little show we call "iCarly".
- [GASPING]
- [SCREAMING]
[CHEERING]
I know it's been a while,
but you guys are in
for something really exciting.
We're starting a channel.
- Whoa!
- Wow!
To Carly.
- Aah!
- Kind of seems like we never left.
Ladies and gentlemen,
Creddies and Seddies,
welcome to the "iCarly" reunion.
I'm your host Hunter March,
and we've got a lot to cover,
so without further ado,
please help me welcome
the stars of "iCarly",
Nathan Kress, Jerry Trainor,
and Miranda Cosgrove.
- Thank you.
- Thanks for having us.
- At our home.
- [LAUGHING]
I just can't believe
how little you looked.
Stop talking about it!
You looked so little.
All right, we're all excited
for the new "iCarly",
but we can't look forward
without first looking back. Take a look.
We love "iCarly".
It's bedtime for
BOTH: Baby Spencer!
That's me!
Main lobby.
- [AIRHORN]
- Aah!
What the yuck?!
Hold up, Giblets.
That skunk bag! Shoosh yeah, I got it!
How was I supposed to know
the goat would do that?
Don't talk about what the goat did!
- What did the goat do?
- T-Bo!
- Dad!
- Hey, Snug Bug.
Oh!
Go to Italy.
Go with Dad.
- I love you.
- I love you too, kid.
"iCarly" 's gonna be taking a break.
CARLY: Doing "iCarly" for you guys
has meant so, so much to me.
And it's changed my life.
Best Web Comedy Show "iCarly"!
CARLY: To the fans of "iCarly",
thank you.
- There's some feels in that.
- Yeah.
- Yeah
- what was it like
shooting that final elevator ride?
It was very difficult. It was very hard.
For me, especially, because
I had seen them grow up.
And it was like, this is all over.
- It It was very sad.
- This is all over.
- [LAUGHING]
- I remember one thing for sure.
I'm I'm really bad at crying on cue.
I've never been able to do it,
and I was supposed to cry
in the scene with Jerry
when we're saying "bye" to each other.
And that was the easiest cry
in the entire world.
- Oh, yeah.
- Like, I was
I could not stop crying.
It was actually the opposite.
- It was hard to stop crying.
- It was hard to stop.
- It was hard to stop.
- Yeah.
We were saying goodbye to each other.
- Yeah. We were lucky to have that.
- Really, you know?
- Yeah, that's because
- A lot of shows don't get that.
- Right.
- What relationship from the show
is the one that fans still
talk to you about the most?
People think Jerry is really
my brother in real life.
- Oh, really?
- So, I get a lot, like, "Where's Spencer?"
I also get, um,
"Are you really best friends
with Sam in real life?"
I get that one, and, like,
Jennette and I have gone
many places together,
so sometimes people,
like, get excited.
You mentioned Jennette McCurdy,
who's not here today,
but I do want to know,
what was your guys'
favorite moment with her?
Because obviously Sam was
such an important part
of the show as well.
Ooh, there were a lot of
fun moments with Jennette.
We had to dunk our heads
in ice in an episode,
and when we were
out on that scaffolding,
we were always kind of
in it together, having to do
the craziest, weirdest things.
We had to do so much
physical gags together.
We had to build kind of
a lot of trust in each other
to, like, take care of each
other during those bits,
and that sort of gave us kind of
a bond and relationship
that we sort of had to work off of
kind of for the whole
course of the show.
"iCarly" had this very special language.
- English.
- Is that what it is?
- That's what it is.
- [LAUGHTER]
You guys had all your own words and
and kind of this language
that your audience took on.
What term was your favorite?
I like "jank". Jank is good because
and I know that it's my favorite
because I use it frequently
- in my day-to-day life, yeah.
- In real life?
- I use "chiz" in real life sometimes.
- Really?
- No way.
- Yeah, my mom was like, "Don't say that".
- [LAUGHTER]
- I like "what the yuck"
- from Mrs. Benson.
- Oh, that was a good one.
- Yeah, that's a good one.
- Yeah, what the yuck.
But it because
of the way she says it.
- "What the yuck?!"
- " the yuck?!" Yeah.
I want to know about
the incident with the goat.
It was Carly's worst birthday ever.
But I want to know what really happened.
What is the trauma?
So, I have absolutely no idea
what happened to Carly,
other than it must have been
something really bad,
but, just by freak coincidence,
the writers did not know this,
when I was three,
I was in a petting zoo,
and a goat gored my eyebrow.
So, in real life, I had
a very bad goat experience.
So, that's why you look like this?
[LAUGHING]
Well, yeah, so do you have a scar there?
I do. I have a scar on this eyebrow
that I fill in.
I am with three incredible,
poised, mature individuals
But that wasn't always the case.
Take a look.
So, what are we doing for dinner?
- We are celebrating.
- With spaghetti tacos!
- [CHEERING]
- I'm cooking
I'm cooking things,
things that people will chew
What? Noodles can't live
happily in a hard corn shell?
I've never had spaghetti tacos before.
[RETCHING]
[RETCHING]
- Just buy a bell pepper!
- No!
- Four-fifty.
- T-Bo!
- Buck a piece.
- We don't want any bagels.
I'll sell you the whole
stick five dollars.
You can't put tacos on a stick,
they'll break.
Perfect timing, I think my loaf of bread
is just about done [SCREAMING]
[ALL SCREAMING]
[SCREAMING]
[SCREAMING]
- [CACOPHONOUS PLAYING]
- Aah!
Ahh, man, I just bought this broom!
- There was so much fire.
- That was insane.
And the thing was engulfed.
It was just like aah!
Yeah, that was
that's a lot of fire, for sure.
And it was also a lot of crazy food.
What was your favorite food to eat?
And why was it spaghetti tacos?
Yeah, it's that's the only answer.
- You've answered your question.
- Spaghetti tacos.
Yeah. I get a message on the regular
of people sending me pictures of, like,
"Mm, it's spaghetti taco night".
- I get it tweeted every day.
- Yeah.
- Didn't you make some not that long ago?
- I did.
How were they?
Deli it's delicious.
There's a lot of physical comedy
in the show has
anyone ever been hurt?
Yeah! All the time.
Did you get hurt?
Come on I'd never not get hurt.
[LAUGHTER]
Kids used to kick you
because they thought
- that you they could hurt you.
- Yes.
- Yeah, they'd just come up
- [LAUGHTER]
and they'd kick me in the shins
'cause they think I don't feel pain
because I'm always falling down.
All of that combined somehow made
one of the most successful shows
of all time.
- How does that feel?
- It wasn't until,
like, what, like, the
third or fourth season
that it really started
to pick up even more?
Or maybe that's just
when I realized a lot of people
- were watching it?
- Yeah, I think
well, the thing is too, right around
the third and fourth season
is when social media
- was really starting to become so prevalent.
- Yeah.
That's really when it sort of took on
kind of the meta of what we were doing
on the show of "iCarly" of being
this internet-focused thing
for kids to engage with
that really started happening
in real life, too,
right around that time.
What did you miss the most?
I just missed hanging out
with you guys every day.
Because even though we still talked
and everything, it's just not the same
as being on set and working together
to try to make people laugh,
and it's just
a whole different experience doing this.
Coming to set every day
and working with people
you know and love and
have good chemistry with
is is the dream.
And it's like, there's
just nothing better.
We're back in the studio
with Jerry Trainor,
Nathan Kress, and Miranda Cosgrove,
but the world of "iCarly" was so goofy
and creative that there's
a lot of ground to cover.
So many inside jokes, so many memories,
and so many kisses.
Now it's time to take a look back
at some of the show's
more romantic moments.
Jerry, do you have
your fire extinguisher ready?
[MIMICS SPRAY BOTTLE]
You dropped this.
Um, thanks, but you
I was gonna walk you home from
school, but I couldn't find you.
Hey!
Just you and me, together,
alone.
I'm in love with you,
you just wanna be friends,
and I'm totally cool living
with that constant pain.
Everyone at school is
saying you're a hero.
I don't feel like a hero.
You are one.
to me.
Come here.
Anybody who's ever even
been to iCarly.com
can easily see that
Carly and Freddie are in love.
- No, we're not.
- We really aren't.
Hi.
Hey.
Hey, cuteness.
All right, let's cool it
with the public display of affection.
So, we should
- hang out sometime.
- [GULPING]
Could you just interview me
about the Nevel!
- Hey.
- [CHUCKLING]
[SCREAMING]
Good seeing you again.
Back at ya.
CARLY: Uh
This is all I can give you right now.
[ELEVATOR DINGS]
I'm sorry I painted your mouth red.
I'm sorry I painted your mouth blue.
- Wanna make purple?
- Please.
Deirdra!
Who's she?
- [LAUGHTER]
- What is it like looking back
on all those smooches?
I have two funny memories.
A, my first kiss
I ever had in my whole life
was with James Maslow in the episode
where he was in a hospital bed,
and I had to kiss him
while he was unconscious.
My second kiss I ever had
in my entire life
was with Nathan on the show.
Nathan had, like, a girlfriend
- or a girl he liked
- That's right!
and she was there on set that day!
- Yes!
- Watching us kiss.
And it was so awkward!
Nathan, what was it like
to be caught in the middle
of maybe one of the most vicious
TV wars of all time
with the Creddies and the Seddies?
- In a word, petrifying.
- [LAUGHING]
People had strong, strong feelings
about who should end up with who.
It's Seddie or Creddie, dude.
- Do you have a thing?
- I don't know.
Well, make up your damn mind,
how's that sound?
- Do it.
- Okay, look, I think that
Seddie is potentially
more interesting as a relationship,
because there's so much more
of the butting heads.
- Now, Creddie.
- The whole
unrequited love thing
really needs to be reconciled.
It's really, she's gotta
make up her mind. So, go, Miranda, go.
I love both, I think.
- No!
- No! No!
- [LAUGHING]
- I like the idea of
Sam and Freddie because Sam had
a hard upbringing,
and she nev she was always
giving you a hard time,
- being mean to you.
- Mm-hm.
You guys have totally
different backgrounds,
and you come together, and you end up
- really liking each other in a lot of the episodes.
- Right.
So, from that viewpoint,
I like you guys together.
- But
- BOTH: But
I also think it's cute because
you always liked me on the show,
and I think Carly does like you, so
[LAUGHING]
that could be. I'm sweating.
We'll avoid the Creddie /
Seddie for a minute.
- Okay.
- And we'll go to the guest characters
that you guys were
romantically linked to.
Which, after seeing that,
were plentiful.
Who was your favorite romantic link?
I liked the girl
from the tuxedo.
- Mm-hm.
- She was, like, beautiful,
and I was just like [GRUNTING]
and I couldn't
talk to her in real life.
But in no world
- would she ever.
- No, she was feeling it.
- No, she
- She was feeling it.
- Bro.
- Nathan seems convinced.
Was there ever a romantic guest for you
that you were like, "Oh, my God"?
Mm, I don't know, I can't just pick one.
- They're all
- Come on.
No, you can.
- You can do it.
- No, I can't. Okay, Harry Styles.
MEN: Yes!
- He's watching this.
- [LAUGHING]
Millions of people see Carly Shay
as a huge inspiration
to what became
this world of social media
because she kind of was
the first one doing it.
Do you feel like an influencer?
I don't feel like an influencer.
Like, when they first
came to me with the idea
for the show "iCarly", I was like,
she has a web show? Like, what's that?
It was really just a learning experience
for for me.
Because I was learning
all about the internet
and having a web show
and how all of that worked
while I was making the show.
Miranda Cosgrove has become,
like, a meme in a good way.
- because people really like you, and they think
- Yeah, I think
the memes are
the funniest part, probably.
Which was also very much, like,
my experience in real life.
Very meta, okay.
Do you think you would've
been those kids
had you grown up in the age of TikTok?
I would definitely, yeah, oh yeah.
'Cause I was that way growing up.
My buddy had a video camera.
We would make these
little horror movies.
Now I have a hope and a dream to find
to find that video those videos.
- There's no world
- You made horror videos?
there's no world where it exists.
- [LAUGHTER]
- Okay, "iCarly" was
definitely a cultural phenomenon
and welcomed some
of television's biggest
celebrity guest appearances ever.
Just watch.
Oh, my God, oh, my God, it's iCarly!
It's iCarly! Hi!
Whoa iCarly! On the internet!
- [GASPING]
- Yeah, yeah!
- You know us?
- Oh, yeah.
Hey, guys!
Is that Missus
- Oh
- bama.
Obama?
Yeah-huh.
For now you shall watch as your sister
- feels the power
- Just bite his thumb.
of a thousand and one aah!
Son of a belch, man!
She bit my thumb! Oh, man!
Wait. Can I have some more fruits?
Fruit? Sure.
And could you cut them
into the little cubes
the way that you do?
Oh, my God oh, my God,
Higgins, come here!
They're talking about us on "iCarly".
Wait, how do I how do I do this?
Just click that box.
That's Tina Fey! I love her so much!
You're so knowledgeable.
- Oh, my God!
- [GASPING]
You're a male model?
Well, I was, but I quit modeling
because now I'm a lead singer
in this really cool band, and
Carly would hate you.
- But, no
- Get out of here!
What'd you think about it, Questlove?
Hey, I'm just looking forward
to wearing my new hat tonight.
I saw your video about me.
Oh, you did? Wow.
That's so cool, 'cause
[SCREAMING]
- MIRANDA: Wait, what?
- What's this? What is
You don't remember?
I was having allergies
so I covered myself in ointment,
and I was scratching myself
with, like, scratchers?
Oh, my God.
A lot of incredible special guests.
Who was your favorite guest ever?
I remember how excited
we all were when Emma Stone
was gonna be on the show.
We were like "what?"
- when that happened.
- JERRY: Yeah.
- NATHAN: Yeah.
- Jack Black I was
super-excited to see again.
I think he's hilarious.
Most of his part was
with your character.
Yeah, that was a dream come true for me.
I mean, he's the funniest.
Nathan, favorite special guest?
I think having Mrs. Obama on
was pretty
- That was
- pretty nuts.
Like, people can have
big guest stars on shows,
but you often don't get
historical figures.
- Mm.
- You know, like,
that was a step
that was a step beyond.
Just call up your friend Millicent
Or go read a book
It's not my job to educate you
Unless you pay me money
[APPLAUSE AND CHEERS]
Now, hold on. We are not
sweeping any memes
until these tees are sold out.
Which reminds me. I need to do
some Instagram Live promo.
What's popping, fashionistas,
fashionistos, and fashionist-X's?
This is the perfect time
to introduce the two
newest members of the cast.
Laci Mosley, who plays Harper,
and Jaidyn Triplett,
who plays Millicent.
- [CHEERING AND APPLAUSE]
- Welcome!
Jaidyn, tell us a little bit
about your character on the show.
Well, she's definitely ambitious,
she's strong-willed, she's hard-working,
and she's very obsessed
with, like, social media.
So, what's your relationship,
for those that don't know yet,
with this whole crew?
Freddie is playing my stepdad.
He's pretty good at being a father.
You know, because
he's handling his mom,
he's handling being an adult,
and then he's also
handling being a father.
So, I think he's doing pretty good.
Handling being an adult?
- [LAUGHTER]
- Laci, tell us about your character on the show.
So, Harper is Carly's best friend,
roommate, she has ambitions
beyond where her current station is,
but, like a lot of millennials
who graduated college
and then, you know, have a lot of debt
and not a lot of money
to pay it with, honey,
um, you know, she's got
that kind of in-between job,
where she's, like,
on the way to something else.
So, it's fun to see her,
like, grow through that.
She's also fun, she
I think she pushes Carly
- to do things that she wouldn't normally do.
- To be more fun?
[LAUGHTER]
And, for you guys,
seeing these new characters
on a show that you're so familiar with?
What's it like having two new lives
come into your lives?
I just think it's been,
like, a breath of,
like, fresh air for the show.
Because not only are we getting to see
what our characters are like
ten years later,
but also it's our new friends
and, you know,
where your life has led you
to having a stepchild.
Yeah, yes.
Two divorces.
Going great.
Jerry, older brother?
Working with Laci has been a dream.
[CHUCKLING]
Working with Jaidyn has
been a nightmare.
[LAUGHTER]
Fair.
I got you dialed in, dude.
No, it's great, I love
the new perspectives.
I love how grown-up the show has become.
The way we can tackle more mature issues
and, you know, from from
unique, diverse perspectives.
It's like
I think it's everything that
people are gonna wanna see.
Mm, let's take a quick look
at some of what the new series
has in store.
In five four
- three two
- [BEEP]
Hey, guys, Miranda Cosgrove here.
This is Jerry Trainor.
- [LAUGHING]
- We look great.
[MUSIC]
We wanted to toe a line between,
you know, the familiar and the new,
because it can't just be
the same old thing.
I'm finally gonna be back
online where I belong.
- We'll help however we can.
- Yeah.
NATHAN: And as soon as
we got here and got on set
and started doing things,
everything just felt
like it did.
Welcome to the new "iCarly".
- [APPLAUSE]
- I got you.
Ba-bam! Who wants a Carly
meatball-face T-shirt?
Mark.
I thought I was early, but there are
- so many people here.
- They're servers.
I had them dress like guests
so my friends wouldn't be all,
"Ooh, look at Spencer with his waiters
and his remodeled apartment
and his Swarovski crystal
boxer briefs".
I'm still just a regular guy.
I clearly did it all wrong.
Pursued my dreams, married for love,
two divorces and a failed startup later,
I'm back living with my mom.
JERRY: It's unique. It's new dynamics.
It's new problems, new funny situations.
Thank you for teaching me
a moral lesson.
It's better than any gift
you could've ever gotten me.
Here, take the keyboard.
You're so easy!
It wasn't supposed
to catch on fire, was it?
It never is.
Aah! Tingles!
Is this another one of
your "man-me-downs"?
Did we
- Ahh.
- Here we go!
Ow!
Oh, I think he needs a lot more.
- Some more?
- I no,
that's enough already
I'm not unamused.
I'm full-on amused.
Are we all looking at the same thing?
ALL: To Carly.
This is so exciting.
You can really taste the gold.
BOTH: It's everything!
[OVERLAPPING CHATTER]
So, is that your first time
seeing that put together
- like that?
- ALL: Yeah.
What has Carly been up to
for the last ten years?
Um, apparently Carly stayed
in Italy for a while
with her dad before she came back.
She went to college, and in the pilot,
she's starting up her show again
for the first time.
What makes Carly wanna
start the show back up?
She hasn't ever really had anything
that was just hers.
She's always had a co-host.
And she's never really had to stand
just on her own two feet.
You're not living with Spencer
in the show anymore.
You're no longer living
with your older brother.
- No, I have my own apartment
- Thank God.
with Harper, Laci's character.
We're roommates, but
we live in the same building
with Freddie and Spencer.
And Freddie, who's your roommate again?
- Just so we can hear it?
- Just one more time?
- [LAUGHTER]
- For the cheap seats.
My My mother.
- [LAUGHING]
- Your mom, your mom.
What? What? I didn't hear it.
- Who else?
- My mother.
- Who else?
- And the
- most cherished part of my life
- The fabulous
the the dear, delightful Millicent.
- Yes.
- Who's
Millicent seems to have
a love-hate-hate-hate
relationship with a lot
of people on the show.
- Definitely.
- That's a good way to describe it, yeah.
And Jerry, your character,
- now rich.
- Yeah.
- What's the same, though?
- That's about it.
- The emotional depth has not changed at all.
- stay the same.
- [LAUGHTER]
- At all?
He lucked into a bunch of money, and
he's gotten somehow dumber.
[LAUGHTER]
Is Tuxedo Girl coming back?
Is she available?
- [LAUGHTER]
- I don't know.
What are you all most excited
to show fans in this new season?
I think we've had a lot of fun,
and I think that I hope
that's gonna come through,
and I hope that
the people that watch are
gonna laugh and have
a good time like they did
- when they watched the original series.
- Mm-hm.
I'm excited to show people
a side of these characters
that is just as funny as it was
but much smarter and more mature.
I'm excited for people to see,
like, all the camp.
Like, because, like,
when I think of "iCarly",
- I think of camp.
- Jaidyn?
I think definitely
the different personalities
and how they all, like,
connect with each other.
- Nathan?
- Just that blend of
of old and new coming together.
A lot of nostalgia. A lot of nostalgia.
And bringing people back
from the old show.
Guest stars that we had.
A lot of familiar faces.
But even just taking those
people and showing them
in a completely different light.
It's this really cool thing
we're trying to do
where it's the same universe
but with massively broadened horizons.
We've covered so much, and yet
we've only scratched the surface
of all the ways we loved
the original "iCarly".
Thankfully, the series is
right around the corner.
I want to thank Laci Mosley
and Jaidyn Triplett
for joining us today.
And, of course,
thank you to Nathan Kress,
Jerry Trainor, and Miranda Cosgrove.
Make sure to watch the new "iCarly"
on Paramount Plus June 17th.
[APPLAUSE]
