Hi, I'm Nathan Kress.
I like vests.
Hi, I'm Jerry Trainor.
And I'm Nathan Kress.
We're on the hit television show, iCarly
on Paramount Plus.
And we're going to give you a tour
of the brand new set, Shay What?
- Shay what? - Uh.
So, first off, the thing you should know
is this used to be the Groovy Smoothie.
Hey, where are you going?
To wash my hands
before I start touching the fruit.
What? Is the queen coming?
[laughing]
Start cutting fruit.
This is the exact same footprint, one for one.
It is the exact shape and dimensions
of the original Groovy Smoothie from the original iCarly.
Spencer buys the Groovy Smoothie
because he thinks he's going to go into business
with Freddie.
This is the Groovy Smoothie.
It sure is.
And they're going to create this app and instead-
that business relationship just doesn't-
We're better buds.
Right, and as soon as Spencer gets there,
he realizes, like he gets bit by this bug...
- Yeah. - ...of "Oh, man.
Having a restaurant would just be, like,
the coolest thing ever."
Food can be art too.
Mmm.
And the restaurant itself can be art.
It needs to express the essence of my very soul.
I need to take what's in here.. and what's in here...
and put it on here.
And also in here.
A new restaurant, they rarely fail.
Can we still pander the fancy original?
Uh, of course.
How else are you supposed to succeed?
[laughing]
So, here's where the bar
from the Groovie Smoothie used to be.
And now it's the bar for Shay What?
And as you notice, it's very much a half and half
because this shape, this profile was
from the original Groovy Smoothie,
but it continued down the line.
But now it's a little bit of the old show.
And then a little bit of the new show,
the bar where the grown up stuff happens.
Right, which is kind of the metaphor
for the show itself.
It's a little bit of the old, but it's a lot more grown up.
[chuckles] Where's the booze?
What is this?
Well, you never drink anyway, so I just mixed up
all the expired condiments from my fridge.
And a little tequila.
Ooh, let me get a taste.
Oh, no.
You know, it's got all of Spencer's old-,
you know he likes the vintagey stuff,
the vintage TV that's now a bar.
Spencer's whole thing from the old show too was
he would just find stuff at the junkyard
and he would make it into whatever else.
Made myself this bike out of parts I found
at the junkyard.
What's wrong with the bike you already have?
I don't have a bike.
Yeah, you do.
It's hanging in the kitchen right there.
Well, too late now.
Boxing gloves?
Yeah, because you get in fights all the time.
- All the time. - Just full on fist fights.
[groaning]
Here's a great little Easter egg, the menu.
You'll notice tacos... under tacos... what's that say?
- Spaghetti. - Ooh.
♪ I'm cooking I'm cooking things ♪
♪ Things that people will chew♪
It's only $11 too, that's a screaming deal.
Well, it's booshie. I gotta make my money back.
Here's a holdover, the lava lamps.
Oh, yes.
These are from the Groovy Smoothie.
Mm-hmm.
We've got the spiral staircase.
Yep, that go absolutely nowhere.
Probably dangerous to go up there, so don't.
Yeah, we're not going to- we're not going to ever do that.
I think the one time we ever did it,
Gibby was bringing down Tebow's bike.
And it was a big deal because those stairs don't do anything,
so there was, like, wires and cables holding it all together.
I got your bike down.
Good. Gibby's helping me move some of my stuff into storage.
Now what?
Scale up those stairs and get the rest of my junk.
I like these little like
Banksy esque street art silhouette things
that are hidden around.
I think we even make reference to the fact
that the Groovy Smoothie closed because
- of an oversized rat problem. - That's right.
And we have these giant rats all over.
We- I took care of it, okay?
Dude, you were supposed to be my partner in this
and you haven't done one thing to help me.
I pulled that rat off your bac.
There was a rat on my back?
This is the shadows of the rats that once existed here.
- And then-- - Now are dead.
Yes, but their ghosts--
And have been made into the food.
[record scratch]
[evil laughter]
I would never serve rats.
We wanted there to be no dead space.
Everywhere you look, there's something cool to look at it.
It's fun. It's a place you want to hang out.
If I were grown up, I'd want to hang out here.
Because this place is iconic.
This little piece right here,
the pineapple with the sunglasses,
this is a piece of the set in your apartment.
On the bar where the truck is there's
this little pineapple guy.
- There is? - Yeah.
He's all detail.
That's me.
I never notice stuff like that.
Yeah, it's pretty cool.
I feel like they took that and then they sort of built
everything around that little piece
of the Spencer apartment set.
We got the, uh, the beer- the beer glass,
the pint glass door to the bathroom.
Yeah, which I thought was really cool.
It's kind of like the counter where it's half
the Groovy Smoothie and half Shay What?
In the original show, this would--
- Did it have this shape? - It did.
It was a smoothie cup.
There was a straw that came out of it.
That's right. - And now it's a beer cup.
Now it's a frosty beer.
This mural right here... is a big plot point
in a very fun episode that involves salsa dancing...
and hidden coins.
- Um, I don't want to explain. - Yeah.
I don't wanna spoil it. You watch the episode.
You're just going to have to see it. It's a fun one.
I think that's the first time
that we really get to see Shea What?
in it's- its full glory.
I was trying to think about what this restaurant should be.
And then I thought, why reinvent the wheel?
That's when it hit me, wheels everywhere.
So these shadowbox rigs, I think, are very, very cool.
And one of my big regrets of the layout is
because the chairs are always in front of 'em
or people are sitting in front of 'em,
and a lot of the time the shot is not very big.
We don't get to appreciate these
- nearly as much as we should. - Maybe in season three
these should be like clear plastic stools.
Oh. Yeah, and then maybe we should be see through.
Season three. Got any of that? Season three.
It's the only way you're going to be able to see
the shadow boxes.
The only way we're going to be able to fix
everything you didn't like.
[laughing]
The thousands of things that people just hated.
We read your comments. We know, okay?
We can't recast. Too late now.
[soft music playing]
Hey, I'm s- don't, I'm sorry.
[soft music playing]
He cries it out, he'll be back, stronger than ever
with a new vest.
All right, guys. Thank you for joining us on this set tour.
We know that you know and love the Groovy Smoothie.
We hope that you love Shea What?
just as much as the new official hangout
of the iCarly team.
We love it. You should, too.
Hey, this is Nathan Kress from iCarly.
