Dan Schneider responds to ‘Quiet on Set’ claims, apologizes for past behavior at Nickelodeon

Nickelodeon showrunner Dan Schneider released a video interview with a former "iCarly" cast member to address claims made against in the docuseries "Quiet on Set: The Dark Side of Kids TV."

"When Drake and I talked and he told me what happened, I was more devastated by that than anything that ever happened to me in my career thus far.  "Every one of those jokes was written for a kids’ audience because kids thought they were funny, and only funny. Now, we have some adults looking back at them 20 years later through their lens and they’re looking at them and they’re saying, ‘That’s inappropriate for a kids show,’" 

"Watching over the past two nights was very difficult. Me facing my past behaviors, some of which are embarrassing and that I regret. I definitely owe some people a pretty strong apology," Schneider said.

A spokesperson for Schenider noted, "BooG!e (who played T-Bo on iCarly) watched ‘Quiet on Set’ and reached out to Dan to see if he could ask him some questions about it. BooG!e wants to make clear though that he is not a journalist and wasn’t trying to be. He was offering to provide a platform for Dan to confront a lot of his previous behaviors. BooG!e thought it was something worth doing if Dan was into it, so people could hear from Dan."
