Things between Josh Peck and Jennette McCurdy seem rocky after their Nickelodeon days. The Drake & Josh star revealed that he may be on bad terms with the former iCarly star after they recorded an interview that never aired.
They ask to cancel Josh Peck for alleged comments against Jennette McCurdy
It turns out that Josh has a podcast called ‘Good Guys’ in which he does interviews with various celebrities, and during an interview with Tana Mongeau, the name of Dan Schneider, the famous creator of the Nickelodeon series, came up.
Tana asked Josh what his experience was like working with the former content creator of the famous channel:
“Obviously, the Dan Schnieder episodes were so crazy,” Mongeau said before Peck responded: “To be 100 percent honest, he was a tough boss and I was a kid.”
In this interview that was never released allegedly they did talk about Dan Schneider a bit.

It was when the actor commented that he had also spoken about Dan in an interview he had with Jennette. He assured that the actress had been his first guest on the podcast to talk about the launch of his book, ‘I’m glad my mother died’
Mongeau said he thought McCurdy’s memoir was “unbelievable,” a statement echoed by Peck. And he added: “So do we, despite what Jennette says!”
What happened between Josh Peck and Jennette McCurdy?
“It was an incredible interview. She talked about everything she wanted, nothing he didn’t want. But then she called us and told us not to post it,” Josh revealed.
Josh assured that they decided to respect Jennette’s decision, but that some time later they tried to contact her, but that the actress never responded to them again.
“There is a small update,” he said. “Being the good guys we are, we said ‘Jennette, no problem, we’ll kill him. You want to go back?’ No response.”
The actor confessed that after 5 months of working, the podcast began to do very well, so he decided to contact the actress again to see if she had changed her mind, only to discover that she had blocked him.
“I said ‘hi’ and just got a green bubble and said, ‘Am I blocked?’”
Fans defend Jennette from Josh
Although Josh thought it was a good anecdote to share, the fans did not take it very well, and many thought that her comments were not the most appropriate, because perhaps she no longer wants to talk about the past and he should respect her position. .
Some of the comments he has received are:
- “She doesn’t owe anyone anything, the entertainment industry took so much out of her life that she shouldn’t be forced into anything she didn’t want.”
- “Why can’t you just respect her decision not to want to talk about it. It’s not that she thinks she’s more important than you, she just experienced things differently.”
- “With this attitude, you are only showing the lack of empathy and respect you have for other people’s boundaries.”
So far, Jennette has not commented on this subject.
