For kids watching iCarly for the very first time, the show is filled with brand new jokes, hilarious dialogue, and quirky characters to easily fall in love with. The quirky concept of preteens striking gold with a hit vlog is a very common story kids know these days. For older individuals who watched the show when it aired on Nickelodeon between 2007 and 2012, re-watching episodes of iCarly is like a pleasant blast from the past.
It’s nice being able to reflect on all the old episodes of a great show in preparation for its revival! The reboot of iCarly has officially been announced and will star Miranda Cosgrove, Nathan Kress, and Jerry trainer in the leading roles. Here’s what the cast thinks of the original show.

According to AOL, Miranda Cosgrove was really close to her onscreen BFF in real life too. When asked about it she said, “My best friend is Jennette McCurdy, who was on iCarly with me. We live really close to each other. We have sleepovers all the time. Like, I literally see her every other day.” In the show, they play the characters of BFFs who perfectly balance each other out.
9 Jennette McCurdy On The Show's Playlist
The music used in iCarly stood out to Jennette McCurdy quite a bit. She revealed, "I think the iCarly soundtrack II is a great party playlist. You can have a slumber party or birthday party with your friends and just play it in the background. There's a lot of great songs by Miranda, The Ting Tings, Ke$ha, Leona Lewis, and then we have the whole iCarly cast singing. I have a song on it. It's a fun soundtrack!" Any playlist or album that incorporates music from so many cool artists deserves to be listened to!
8 Nathan Kress On Michelle Obama's Cameo Appearance
When Michelle Obama made a guest appearance on the episode of iCarly called "iMeet The First Lady", Nathan Kress thought she did awesomely. He said, "She did really well! We were very impressed. She's in two very large scenes and she had a ton of dialogue. It would have even been tough for us and we've been doing it for years and this is her TV debut as far as sitcoms go, but she nailed the takes one after another." This is certainly not the only show Michelle Obama has guest-starred in over the years!
7 Miranda Cosgrove On Her Fave Cast Members To Work With
When asked about which of her costars was the best person to work with on the set of their show, Miranda Cosgrove played it safe and named them all. She replied, "Jenette McCurdy, Nathan Kress, and especially Jerry Trainor, who plays my brother in the show [iCarly]. He's like a real-life big brother to me. He gave me my first driving lesson." She made sure not to leave anyone out so that everyone felt included.
6 Jennette McCurdy On Feeling Embarrassed Looking Back
Jennette McCurdy has made it clear that she is no longer interested in being an actress anymore. Her reason? She explained, "I resent my career in a lot of ways. I feel so unfulfilled by the roles that I played. I imagine there's a very different experience to be had with acting if you're proud of your roles, and if you feel fulfilled by them." Maybe if the right movie or TV show role comes her way, she will reconsider returning to the world of acting down the line.
5 Nathan Kress On His 'iCarly' Vivid Dreams
Nathan Kress not only starred in iCarly... but he's dreamed about the show too! When asked about his dreams he said, "Ironically enough, the dream I had last night was one of the few that I actually remember. I dreamt the whole iCarly cast was supposed to be on a talk show together, but I kept getting lost and distracted in a gigantic mall, so I missed my flight and couldn't be on the show."
He continued, "To top it off, I accidentally crashed a fancy futuristic elevator and everyone got mad at me! If anyone wants to offer an interpretation of what that dream means, I'm all ears." That doesn't sound like a dream we can decipher but it probably makes some sort of subconscious sense.
4 Noah Munck On How 'iCarly' Impacted His Life
Noah Munck isn't continuing life as an actor or joining in with the iCarly revival. He talked about his past time on the show saying, "I got iCarly and that kind of just like was the role that took me for 5 years. It was really cool, this big show was 5 years of my life and it was a really cool experience and time altogether." 5 years is certainly a long time-- especially for a young person. Heis ready to pursue other interests now.
3 Jennette McCurdy On Resenting The Character She Played
Jennette McCurdy simply isn't fond of the character she once played and it even contributed to her having an eating disorder. She explained, "My great 'contribution' to society was walking onto an overlit Nickelodeon set shouting lines about fried chicken (my character liked fried chicken) and that's what kids were looking up to?"
She went on to say, "Granted, we can't all be [American Buddhist nun] Pema Chodron, but there was something about the shallowness of my success that made me resent it. That resentment festered, providing even more fuel for my disordered eating. I actively began to engage in anorexic behavior again." It is very understandable why she is no longer interested in continuing a career as an actress.
2 Jerry Trainor On His Favorite Episode Of 'iCarly'
Jerry Trainor played the role of Carly's older brother in the show. When asked about his favorite episode he said, "My favorite was the 'iGet Pranky,' when Spencer was addicted to pranking and they were trying to get him to stop. The rehearsal for that was so fun. It was very high-energy and I was running from person to person pranking them." This episode is one of the highest-rated episodes from the entire show.
1 Miranda Cosgrove On Relating To The Character Of Carly
Miranda Cosgrove and her fictional character, Carly Shay, had a lot in common. She explained, "I am a lot like Carly. The writer puts in a lot of lines that are like things that I say in real life during rehearsal. Carly freaks out a little more than I do, though -- when things go wrong, she goes really insane." It is probably so much easier to play the role of a character you can resonate with and Miranda actually had that!
