Alright, everybody, here we go.
This is for real this time.
I think the way he- I think the way Nathan does it is--
- In five. - Four.
- In three - Two.
- [unintelligible] - One.
Oops, I said the one.
[laughing]
I don't know how to do it. I'm the wrong guy for that.
In five, four, three, two.
My character, Carly, um, she still has her show iCarly,
but she actually hadn't done it in many years
and starts it again for the first time.
What is Spencer up to these days?
Well, he found himself becoming kind of a big deal sculptor
where in- in the original he was, uh, middling.
He was a novice.
She's been doing other web shows
with ah, a boyfriend that she had.
So, it's been really fun getting to step back into that
and just seeing what the new iCarly
is going to be like, the show inside the show.
But, you know, he had some, you know, people liked him
here and there but he's become quite celebrated now,
uh, kind of on accident but he won't tell anybody that.
Hey, you're the guy who made
the marshmallow White House sculpture.
The way that it was half melted to reflect
our disintegrating democracy,
uh, such a brave statement.
It was an accident. I left it next to my cell phone,
which broke out into a spontaneous fire.
Anyway, now I own a falcon named Jericho.
[chuckling]
Also, just getting to learn everything about Freddie
and what he's been doing with his life
over the last eight years, and to see how wealthy and well
Spencer's character has done for himself with his art.
Um, it's just been fun getting to see
where these characters' lives have gone.
I think the key thing that we're trying to bring
into the new show is a lot of the nostalgia element.
Obviously, we're not changing everything.
This is still, you know, Spencer's apartment.
It's just over ten years, Spencer became a prolific artist
and, uh, renovated the place.
And then Carly moved out,
so he was able to sort of update his space.
As you can see, the bottle bot's still there.
You know, the rug is the same and the pillows and--
But like the couch has been reupholstered.
And, you know, he knocked out a wall.
So, he's just still single man child.
You know, I don't- I don't know where I get that from.
Certainly not my real life.
Also, we have two new cast members,
so that was really fun just getting to bring
these new people into our world.
I love Harper. She actually feels, like,
so close to me. She's really fun.
She's adventurous, she's not judgmental.
She lives her life very loud and I love her fashion.
I love her style. She's a cool girl.
Come on, who cares what I think?
Me. Me cares.
But why does me care?
What, just 'cause I'm young, cool,
and probably the hottest person you'll ever meet in real life?
Yeah... that, those things.
I love Laci, who plays Harper, my friend who--
We share this apartment together on the show.
Um, we've been having a great time together.
I think that Harper is going to drive Carly, ah, pretty wild.
Like, I see Harper dragging Carly
into some situations
that, uh, she definitely was not expecting.
And they're going to have a good wild time together.
Of course, you want to go to the party.
For you parties are a never ending buffet of people
who want to sleep with you, cute guys, hot girls,
ridiculously gorgeous nonbinary lawyers
who get your name tattooed on their thigh.
That only happened twice.
It's just been really crazy to be on the new set
and to get to see them all.
I love that I have this new apartment.
I think it's so cute.
I love this apartment that I share with Carly.
What's cool is one, there's, like, so much seating,
which I truly don't understand why there's so much seating.
But there's so many cool, like, art pieces in here
and like weird, quirky stuff.
Um, and I just love that we truly don't know
how these people can afford this apartment.
I also loved getting to see Spencer's new apartment
just because it's a little like the Twilight Zone
seeing it- it now versus how it was before.
Because a lot of parts of it are the same.
But it's just so updated now that his character's wealthy.
When I first walked onto this set, I was shocked.
But I knew right where I was.
I knew that we were in Spencer's apartment
because the layout was the same.
But there were elements to this
that are different and fresh and new, and they feel like
they have aged well along with us.
It was fun to see what the set designers did
with that. Getting in Spencer's frame
and thinking, what would Spencer have.
If he had a bunch of money, how would he make his apartment?
So, it's really fun to get to see it.
Carly went to Italy with our father
and had th- those experiences, and then, you know,
now we're all back here and Freddie's been divorced
a couple times. He's got an adopted daughter.
Them as grown ups.
Maybe Spencer is sort of, you know,
who was a grown up then is still kind of the same dude now,
but with a posh space and a lot more money.
And then there's Jaidyn. She's like the cutest kid ever.
She's playing Millicent on the show.
She, like, delivers one liners, like, the best I've ever seen.
So, that's been awesome.
Uh, now people are going to think
my channel is for olds.
Okay, can I have everyone's attention, please?
Thank you.
- Okay, while Carly is still-- - Wait, a minute.
[laughing]
[mumbling and laughing]
[laughing]
This new version of the show, uh, the goal,
as I understand it, has been to take the initial concept
of iCarly evolve it over time, uh, and we want to show
the world where these people are now.
We wanted to modernize it because the original iCarly
was very much satirizing those sort of early days
of the internet, where it was sort of unique
that young people would have their own web show
and their own channel.
And- and now, we know years later, everybody's got,
you know, their Snapchat, their TikTok, they've-
everybody's expressing themselves online
in a myriad of ways.
And it's like, "What is that like years later
for Carly and her life?"
I think that it's very cool to give the hardcore fans
of this show a peek into what was a hypothetical
a couple years ago, but is now a reality,
and we get to put, uh, some real imagery
to I think what a lot of people have imagined.
I know when I watch shows, when I watch reboots
or revivals, I love getting to see, uh, characters
from before and just see what they're up to now.
So, we're trying to do that as much as possible.
And so, there's- there's a lot of going back to the show.
I know that we intend to bring back previous characters
from the show, um, so hopefully we get to expand
on some older story lines, but again in a way
that is more grown up um, and- and novel
to the iCarly universe.
I am so excited for you guys to see this show.
I think you're going to love it. I see the girls
are binge watching the old iCarly.
I see the girls on Twitter.
So, I know y'all are ready and it's gonna be a good time.
I'm just really excited for all of you guys
to get to see the show. We're working really hard.
I just can't wait for- for everybody to see
what we're doing. I think it's going to be a new
kind of crazy, different fun take
on the original, and I hope everybody likes it.
