There’s a documentary out about this right now called Quiet On Set. It’s about how Dan Schneider is disgusting.
Yeah the whole situation is grim, and not just Schneider!

We’ve got another “why did you write a letter of support for a creep, actor or actress?” . Some of the names are a loving bummer.

man, early 2000's era nick messed up a lot of kids.

I read Janette's autobiography, and the one story that really stuck out was when she was at one of the Kid's Choice awards and her bulimia was so bad that she was throwing up in a toilet and one of her molars fell out into the bowl.

Haven't listened to her podcast but I hope she ran far away from showbiz.
I’ve been meaning to pick up a copy, but good god. Guessing it’s grim all around.

Unfortunately lovely behavior isn’t limited to 2000s Nick because John K existed. I love Ren and Stimpy, my cat is partially named after Stimpy, but gently caress John K.

Semi-related, if anyone wants to learn more about the history of Nick, Pop Arena is a solid channel. It goes back to the late 70s and is currently at a really cool video about Clarissa Explains it All. Not weird nostalgia pandering either, but very engaging.

I remember in the 2000s they made an X-TREEM reboot of Double Dare and I think this was just an extension of that maybe.
Two different things I think, in fact I think the creepy Schneider one is post Double Dare 2000.

I’m blown away at Kimmy Robertson’s letter, girl what the gently caress!

Matt Lauer always seems like a weird case to me. NBC protected him for so long and it's like... he's Matt Lauer. He's boring as gently caress. He's not some great talent. You could replace him in five seconds. It's not like he's Johnny Carson or something.
Exactly! The only thing we miss about Matt Lauer is where in the world is Matt Lauer and the OG is totally fine by me!

Let Carmen Sandiego host the Today Show and let Al Roker be The Chief. Hoda can still be trashed by the third hour.

Didn't Mat Lauer have some weird beef with Ann Curry? Like he got her fired or something.
Not quite but the timing was extremely coincidental

https://www.wmagazine.com/story/ann-curry-reported-matt-lauer-sexual-harassment-in-2012

quote:

Ultimately, Curry ended up leaving that same year, though she hasn’t since clarified if her departure was linked to Lauer’s behavior. While sources revealed to People that Curry was ousted over poor ratings, to make matters all the more insulting, there was also a “lack of chemistry” with Lauer that was speculated to be the reason she was fired.

Also found out that Tom Brokaw got called out for some poo poo which, Christ, I feel…some sort of way.

E: oh come the gently caress on, I love Return of the Living Dead. gently caress!

They better say “awww here it goes” every time you walk in on them being mischievous

Semi related but I heard the Cousin Skeeter theme for the first time in decades and I knew every lyrics like a goddamn sleeper agent.

‘All That’ star Lori Beth Denberg says Nickelodeon’s Dan Schneider showed her porn, initiated phone sex, and lashed out on set
:smith: this was sad to read. I loved Lori Beth so much as a kid, and boy oh boy do I get the lovely power dynamics she went through.
