Amen to that. A lot of these stories have not changed since Dan Schneider was exposed for traumatizing the Nickelodeon child stars, and that's why I pray things go further. I'm not saying everybody need to be on red alert all the time, just pay attention to certain things and keep the train moving. Because like Kenan said, it was always meant to be a safe place for kids to have fun and make memories
Yup. He didn’t try to dismiss them and pull that whole “well it didn’t happen to me so it didn’t happen.” He showed a lot of empathy and kindness towards the victims.
I like this comment. A lot of times people end up sounding insensitive for example (Ned’s Declassified cast). It could be true that some of the actors didn’t see anything. They were kids so they could’ve been complicit. Even if he just wants to disassociate himself he also didn’t align or support Dan and his actions.
A documentary had to come out for him to say something. Years of accusations and convictions didn’t bother him until now? He’s complicit like most of Hollywood. Alexa Nikolas is the only brave one
@@doxoxo779 Very backwards way of thinking. Alexa Nikolas had a terrible experience of her own with Dan and her feelings are valid. No argument there. But then she's almost had some blind rage in her "reporting" on her channel and continuously blasting everyone as being complicit. Her experience is her own but also separate from what happened on other shows. It's also very possible Dan chose who to behave with in a select way and other actors really did not see that kind of behavior.
You can tell that Keenan is really pained by the abuse his fellow child actors endured. There needs to be more justice towards this sick child abuse and hostility.
I think it is all for show, his wife was a minor when he first got with her secretly and she was missing for awhile until she was 19 and married to Kenan. It’s a cycle of pervs
Why is everyone more outraged at Dan than at Brian Peck. A toxic work environment does not compare to what Brian Peck did. Dan lost his career. Brian went to jail for a few months and then got a nice cushy job at Disney. What’s wrong with this picture.
We only know SOME of what Dan has done. But lets not forget all of these monsters were HIRED by Dan. There is not confirmation but Amanda Bynes definitely tweeted that when she was a child, she was impregnated by her boss…. Like Kenan said… they need to investigate more. He is not only guilty of making people uncomfortable. He was the ringleader.
What you are saying about Brian isn't wrong, he deserved so much more than he got, but that doesn't mean Dan is at all innocent. Yeah Dan lost his career, but he also got paid like a $7m severance or something too. They are both awful, and both should be called out. Two things can be true
@xscarletflamesx I'd like to hear what DISNEY has to say about hiring him after he was convinced. They HAD to know, a background check is required for basically any job.
Now I gotta look her response up. I wondered about her thoughts. I was kind of hoping we’d get a reveal to the interviewees about the kid being Drake and get to see their reactions.
I don't believe I have ever seen another successful former child actor handle such a sensitive issue with such tact, poise, and candor. No attacks. No denials. The only other former Nick star to come close would be Jennette McCurdy. She tackled her experience with the same, but obviously had a very different experience from Kenan. Josh Peck was quick to jump to attacks, until recently. The cast of Boy Meets World who have a podcast, only recently expressed sorrow about support for Brian Peck. - How convenient. Most of these former child stars have avoided the conversation. Kudos to K.T.
@@robertparker6280I haven't seen the podcast, but I think the OP is saying the cast are sorrowful about support for Brian. Whether that's in general or if they'd previously supported him themselves, I'm not sure. Based on context, I suspect the latter.
@@robertparker6280 Will Friedle and Rider Strong wrote character letters for court, the same thing that Ashton Kutcher and Milia Kunis got hammered for, along with multiple other celebrities like James Marsden voicing their support of Brian Peck.
Nailed the emotion though. Cause it really is. We grew up with Nickelodeon. It was the Network just for us. Even if they did their legally required protection... Fucking how dare you stop protecting your child stars, people were fans of, at the line of "we satisfied legal requirements" It ain't a fuck you, because it feels like a betrayal by someone we still care about. How fucking dare you.
Dan's not sorry about what he did and the trauma he caused, he's sorry that his dirty laundry is public. That apology is nothing more than damage control. Good for Kenan for speaking out in the defense of the victims!
@@aaronjames3228Notice that he danced around the specifics of what he did. He may be sorry but he doesn’t want to admit to anything directly. He doesn’t want to be hauled into court for admitting his pervy, despicable actions.
The fact that these people manage to live any sort of lives after what they’ve taken is disgusting and giving them a platform to defend themselves rather than persecuting them is incredibly ignorant.
I adore that Keenan found something he loved at such a young age, was great at it, stayed on track, and has been able to do basically the same thing throughout his whole life. Watching him as a child on All That and now as an adult on SNL feels like we grew up together. Like he’s always been a friendly, non problematic, drama free, chill friend that’s always there. I hope he knows how loved he is.
Yeah the whole "I finally realize that being a grown-ass man, sexualizing pre-teen girls and using my position of power to exploit them, was wrong, and I'm sorry" act is a bunch of crap. He's not even trying to sound convincing. If anything it sounds like he misses "the good old days."
I've gain so much respect for him for this. For speaking out, not denying it and supporting his former co workers.hollywood tends to go silent more so if they are huge stars like Kenan is
I am glad that Kenan said to investigate more. That means Kenan doesn't trust Dan or Nickelodeon anymore. I hope that Kel speaks out, too. In the mean time episode 5 and 6 of Quite On Set will air next week Sunday on April 7th. Thank you, Kenan, for telling them to investigate more. These kids deserve more #JusticeForTheNickKids #JFTNK
We need everyone from dans shows to speak out against him. The Hush Money and the threats from being banned from acting or even working in Hollywood should no longer be a threat.
@@madden8021 still while I agree that the hush money and NDAs regarding this is unacceptable, no one should ever be pressured or forced to relive a traumatic experience or experiences, people should only come forward if they are willing to do so, being forced to do so is just unacceptable and yes people can say all they want that their silence is part of the problem but forcing others to relive such experiences when they aren't ready to is just adding to whatever issues they already had.
Totally agree. Just saying "well I didn't experience it but I feel bad for them" can come off as dismissive and I appreciate that Kenan calling for more.
@@robertparker6280Keenan was protecting his money. So he played both sides of the fence. He didn't outright accuse Dan Schneider, but he also didn't say didn't do anything wrong. It's kind of like Ariana grande not saying one word about Dan Schneider because she has her millions of dollars now.🤦🏻♂️
@josephnicholas9152 Secretly, I believe Kenan was involved. He didn’t know any better but he was groomed. This is his way of showing remorse to the victims. But yeah he tried to play it safe. Because they will come for him, like they did Dan. Believe that.
Those 90s and early 2000s shows looked so fun to be a part of. I loved watching. It’s so sad that behind the scenes people were suffering (at the hands of adults). I am wishing healing upon all these souls.
I was 12 when Kenan and Kel peaked. Now looking back upon seeing the documentary, things really did get weird after that. To see Kenan all shaken like this is so heartbreaking. Even those who weren't directly damaged are still severely affected. I broke when his memoir about Amanda was read. To him and many of the cast they considered Amanda a loved one, but due to the weight of the situation they can no longer communicate, or rather it's difficult to reconnect. I cannot explain how soul tearing it is to root for people you care about who are so far away and you can no longer talk to them because of a rift caused by abusers.
@@ssjup81 NDA(Non Disclosure Agreement.) he may have signed one ,Also He doesn't want to ruin is career because he is a BIG NAME in Hollywood ,working on SNL(Saturday Night Live.) you don't even hear Kel Mitchell or Nick Cannon(of course he is a big name in the industry also.) even mention anything about the documentary & right along with Kenan both of them had to seen something during their time of All That.
i feel like anyone who has heard about these things would assume that there is more, especially with dan's casts from the 2000s-2010s shows but the doc was mostly about all that.
@@welovettrpgs You don't become rich or famous without selling out. Period! He knows exactly what's going on. Although, I assume you are a grown adult and do not need to explain anything to you. Keenan is just playing coy, because he knows if he speaks up what will happen. Stop idolizing these demons
Keenan phrased his sympathy very well. Because there are actors like Josh Peck who make it seem that just because they didn't experience it, it is a lie; defending Dan and calling the victims liars
He’s such a humble guy. His parents instilled great values in him. I bumped into him once as I was leaving Rockefeller Center & he was coming in to work. He simply nodded and said hello. It’s so refreshing to witness with all the insanity in the world.
Kenan is the lucky one who got out, and I’m glad that he speaking out about it. Although thankfully he never experienced the abuse, what he can do is speak about it and raise awareness about this! God Bless Kenan!
This is the FIRST time I've EVER heard someone said they had a crush on... KENAN???!😂😂😂.. That's mind blowing to me.. I had to reread it a couple times, then ponder like, " she must of meant Kel... Yea she had to meant Kel" 😅smh
I was wondering if Keenan would ever speak upon this, bc imo he's the most famous child star to come from Nickelodeon. He really is a gem and we know how much he cares.
Plz continue to support these actors so more can come out & speak up. We as the community need to help kids get their voices heard & feel the support that they need.
@@pedestrianandroidHoward Hesseman left *Head of the Class* to get away from him. He never said so outright but read between the lines. It's obvious he could accurately judge Dan's lack of character.
I agree but we gotta watch these celebs wearing these crosses and being blasphemous as well but we just gotta pray that their good genuine hearted people behind the scenes ❤
@@tempestafields Fully agree! I pray that their conversions are genuine and they truly just want to love God. Many blessings for you sister! Happy Easter! Rejoice! He has risen! 🙏
Watching my childhood actor that I loved watching when I was a kid stand up to this is amazing and you can tell from his voice he’s hurting for them. Good for you K ❤
Love Kenan! He just seems like a great guy. Love his work, love his attitude. Been a fan since I was a kid watching All That, Kenan and Kel, and of course Good Burger. He just never stops being one of my faves. Good for him for doing this interview and having such genuine and heartfelt responses!
When I read his statement online I thought it was going to be more dismissive than this but hearing and seeing his emotions you can really tell this all hurt him. Respect to Keenan.
I took it as "wow that's rare to hear", Lol! Hollywood is a cesspool, and these awful things are known about but not much done because folks care about their careers and money more. I couldn't stay at a job if I knew this was going on. Even if I signed NDAs, there's no way I'd keep quiet.
Even sicker when I heard they had to sign an NDA cuz that means if you’re a child and a grown up lays hands on you you can’t tell anyone that is just so wrong to me
More people need to speak out. This is crazy to think this happened for decades. Something is seriously wrong in the industry when they only care about views and money instead of the people affected.
Thinking about these shows always made me feel so nostalgic. My cousins and I used to watch all that and the Amanda show all the time, we thought it was the funniest thing. Thats the “sunny filter” time of my life, and this just absolutely breaks my heart. We didn’t know what was happening, I feel sick that we were exposed to that sick perverted “humour”. They felt like our friends. Just regular kids.
I'm so proud of all those speaking out for what they went through back in the day, you know? These truths need to be told. It's important to toss out the bad stuff and baggage you carry as much as it's important to hold onto the good times. I just hope in the future, a lot of child stars can find their safe places in the acting business. Because this was supposed to be that for kids, even fans. Nothing but good, hard work, comfort and fun
The fact that he’s doing an interview and in no way pushing back on some of the allegations is wild. Nickelodeon completely failed these kids. And not bc the evidence wasn’t there it was pure negligence on behalf of the next dollar. Amanda bines ESPECIALLY should be getting all of their support right now def not her solely obviously
couldn't have said it better. straight up feeding these kids to monsters and getting millions of dollars in return. i mean, dan schneider is clearly a monster in his own right, but nickelodeon and the industry are the real fuckin monsters.
I’m so proud of Kenan for speaking up still considering he’s in the industry and with such genuine care for his costars and childhood friends.. other Nickelodeon stars turn a blind eye.
So let me get this straight he would go back, change his own attitude, and try to be nicer to the people he worked with. However, he would NOT FIRE those people who should NEVER be within 5,000 miles of a child. This is truly shocking.
So far I've seen about 30 mins of the doc ... and it was brought up that a parent or guardian has to be with the kids on set to protect them. But sometimes, it's the damn parents that are not protecting their kids or pressuring them.
It’s very sad, but what makes it really heartbreaking is that if these men could have continued with their behaviors, it would have went on til this day. Sometimes people are just sorry they got caught. Some people only apologize because eyes are on them now. Kenan really said the perfect words and seemed so compassionate toward the victims and didn’t make anybody feel like he didn’t believe what was said. He is showing that he is a standup guy. But Dan? The definition of a narcissist.
I know that the exception doesn't make the rule, but I GENUINELY believe that Keenan was one of the lucky ones that didn't go through what a lot of these kids unfortunately had to go through.
🥰 Love Kenan. And It was clear to see Amanda was broken. Terrible what happened to her & others. Should never have happened in what was supposed to be a safe place for children!
I believe the allegations that Jeannette McCurdy made against Dan Schneider is one of the reasons why Paramount+ cancelled the 4th season of iCarly (2021).
I always loved Kenan Thompson and Kel Mitchell. All That and Kenan and Kel were two of my favorite shows. I’m glad Kenan has spoken out about what happened and is supporting the victims. It would not surprise me if Kel does the same. He hasn’t said anything yet though…I hope nothing happened to him….
People saying Dan lost his career but what he really needs is to be lock up in jail for what he did those all of those kids and he ruin their happiness he’s a bad man and also you can tell in his eyes and form the energy that he’s not sorry once a manipulator is always a manipulator
I pray for the soul of Dan Schneider. As a mental health practitioner, what he has done throughout the years as a top executive for kids television was major. He has done a lot of damage to many people on various levels. The caveat is their going to be more feeling empowered to come forward. Truthfully, he definitely needs to be remorseful and come clean about his actions. These individuals have been traumatized by the extent of his misdeeds. Frankly, many may or is currently receiving mental health treatment as result of those misdeeds under his leadership. Additionally, I believe that he needs to be prepared for the legal ramifications in adjacent to his now tarnished career. The bible says you reap what you sow. Finally, I will say that as a leader of any organization you must be able to lead people effectively to point where you're not putting them, yourself or the organization under scrutiny.
Seeing Dan publicly address this with a level of accountability and remorse shows some growth on his part and it seems like he is genuinely attempting to make amends at least in the way he is treating colleagues moving forward. This says a lot about his character currently because many other influential people could have just tried to brush these serious allegations off and he is actually facing them head on with some level of remorse for the way he behaved in the past. I think this speaks positively about his potential to improve and treat people better in the future. Only time will tell whether this is actually the case but I prefer to focus on a person’s potential to learn from their mistakes and improve rather than discard/cancel them once they have made a mistake when possible (in certain cases that is just not possible and the person is just not fit to be living free in society). I also really appreciated Keenans comments about the documentary. He managed to stay true to his personal experience while also showing genuine care, empathy and understanding towards other actors who had totally different experiences. I’m glad I watched this video. Thank you for sharing it!
Yeah, Disney had dirt on their hands also. They need to explain Orlando Jones, Aaron Carter, Linsey Lohan, Shia LeBeouf. They all developed issues after the decline of their careers as children, and it had to be over something during Disney Studios.
Perfect answer: I can’t speak on the things I didn’t experience. But I still validate and believe their stories. Not the: It diDn’T haPpEn To mE sO i DoN’t BeliEvE iT.
@aaronjames3228 A truly sincere and regretful person would have apologized years and years ago and not wait until the stories are made public and you’re busted.
Kenan still seems like a real person and a good dude. I always thought he was hilarious even when we were kids and I watched him on Nickelodeon. Him and Kel were in so many hilarious kids stuff back then that I watched. I actually think it's somewhat sad that he hasn't done more. He should have been more than the guy that was on SNL for over 20 years. He should be a more prominent comedian. Unfortunately after Rocky and Bullwinkle Hollywood never gave him another chance to do something that was more relevant for him as a comedian. It's good at least he still seems real unlike a lot of other people that give these interviews.
“Investigate more!”
My man! Good for Kenan to speak out like that.

i feel like anyone who has heard about these things would assume that there is more, especially with dan's casts from the 2000s-2010s shows but the doc was mostly about all that.
He just oozes integrity and good character. The world needs more Kenans.
And you need better eyes! Lol
Keenan sold out long ago
@@JamesWestwood-qf1wu How so?
@@welovettrpgs You don't become rich or famous without selling out. Period! He knows exactly what's going on.
Although, I assume you are a grown adult and do not need to explain anything to you. Keenan is just playing coy, because he knows if he speaks up what will happen. Stop idolizing these demons
He's so blessed to have had people looking out for him as a kid, not just as a brand.
Keenan phrased his sympathy very well. Because there are actors like Josh Peck who make it seem that just because they didn't experience it, it is a lie; defending Dan and calling the victims liars
He’s more compassionate than Josh
Josh peck never said that
Okay where did you hear that? All i heard was he and drake spoke and he backed him.
thats called damage control. i heard he slammed Jenette Mccurdy for her book and kissing up to Dan, saying he was a good man. @Wandervenn
@@queenaxyn he didn't slam her for his book. You guys are trying to make Josh the bad guy.
“Investigate more!” Well said 👏👏
I respect Kenan being honest and sincere saying he didnt get get the same experience others were having
Thank you Keenan for the display of authenticity and integrity!! Thank you for standing in your own power and speaking truth!
He’s such a humble guy. His parents instilled great values in him. I bumped into him once as I was leaving Rockefeller Center & he was coming in to work. He simply nodded and said hello. It’s so refreshing to witness with all the insanity in the world.
Kenan is the lucky one who got out, and I’m glad that he speaking out about it.
Although thankfully he never experienced the abuse, what he can do is speak about it and raise awareness about this!
God Bless Kenan!
He was my childhood crush. Great man today!
Kenan
Mine was Kel ❤🥰
@@allimimi both very handsome guys.
i def had a crush on him and kel 😭
This is the FIRST time I've EVER heard someone said they had a crush on... KENAN???!😂😂😂.. That's mind blowing to me.. I had to reread it a couple times, then ponder like, " she must of meant Kel... Yea she had to meant Kel" 😅smh
Dan is so fake and full of shit, nobody wants to take accountability until they get caught
How do you know that
@@aaronjames3228 I don't know anything it's my opinion based on my intuition
@@aaronjames3228Dan Schneider is that you?……
@@nicoleleckner7902That is not critical thinking, these are the things that require evidence, not feelings. More investigations.
So true
Of all the reactions and statements from former actors, his was good. ❤ Kudos to Kennan
Kenan has class, He felt empathy for the ones that did go through it. If only Ned and his crew had empathy!
Dan needs to take notes. Keenan knows how to have empathy and compassion for people that he didn’t even hurt.
@@amylee8969 Agreed!
They’re a bunch of jerks, and their show sucked.
I salute Kenan for saying “investigate it more!”
"Investigate more" Amen.
I watched the documentary it broke my heart I watched A lot of Nickelodeon and Disney
I knew it Disney and Nickelodeon are just garbage!
I was wondering if Keenan would ever speak upon this, bc imo he's the most famous child star to come from Nickelodeon. He really is a gem and we know how much he cares.
He wants to speak up but he’s holding it in, you can see it in his eyes
Plz continue to support these actors so more can come out & speak up. We as the community need to help kids get their voices heard & feel the support that they need.
Always lived Kenan nd Kel. Thank you for adding positivity to my childhood. ❤
Kenan and Kel is a absolutely good classic it's horrible what Dan did.
Keenan is a good soul.
Very well stated. Shout out to Kenan!!
Nobody asking Dirty Dan the hard questions. Bump that fake ass apology.
How do you know it's fake
@@aaronjames3228shutup Dan stop defending yourself on your fake accounts you’re not fooling anyone
You know it’s fake because he is a horrible actor
@@pedestrianandroidHoward Hesseman left *Head of the Class* to get away from him. He never said so outright but read between the lines. It's obvious he could accurately judge Dan's lack of character.
Keenan looked so depressed for Amanda. His voice trembled, but Dan's never did. He has no remorse.
I love that he’s wearing a cross 🙏 we gotta hold on to our faith on these difficult situations. Pray for these children, that their souls may heal 🙏
I agree but we gotta watch these celebs wearing these crosses and being blasphemous as well but we just gotta pray that their good genuine hearted people behind the scenes ❤
@@tempestafields Fully agree! I pray that their conversions are genuine and they truly just want to love God. Many blessings for you sister! Happy Easter! Rejoice! He has risen! 🙏
@@SocialExperiment232 Happy Easter to you too! May god bless you and your loved ones❤️ He is risen!!
@@tempestafieldsexactly correct
Nothing but Respect For Kenan.
Watching my childhood actor that I loved watching when I was a kid stand up to this is amazing and you can tell from his voice he’s hurting for them. Good for you K ❤
Dan: I'm so sorry... that I got caught.
Everyone glared at Dan Schneider
I’ve wondered for years about this man he’s steadily worked his butt off and never hear much from him. Damn I respect this man
When his eyes glazed over... that hit
Kenan is such a nice guy and has always remained. I remember watching him on All That--solid guy.
“Well investigate more.” Damn straight. 👍👍
Love Kenan! He just seems like a great guy. Love his work, love his attitude. Been a fan since I was a kid watching All That, Kenan and Kel, and of course Good Burger. He just never stops being one of my faves. Good for him for doing this interview and having such genuine and heartfelt responses!
I don't believe that he's genuinely sorry. I feel that he's only apologizing because all of his past indisgresions are now coming to light.
Facts. He keeps saying he owes these former kids an apology but still hasn’t issued one.
When I read his statement online I thought it was going to be more dismissive than this but hearing and seeing his emotions you can really tell this all hurt him. Respect to Keenan.
The interviewer had a strange look on her face after Keenan said "investigate more"
You caught that too, huh?
More like shocked
Right?! Why'd she look so shocked, lol? I'm not even in Hollywood and I BEEN known it's a cesspool.
That's because by heart, she's an investigation journalist to the core.
I took it as "wow that's rare to hear", Lol! Hollywood is a cesspool, and these awful things are known about but not much done because folks care about their careers and money more. I couldn't stay at a job if I knew this was going on. Even if I signed NDAs, there's no way I'd keep quiet.
Oh, Kenan!! I never wanted to see him teary eyed in sadness 🥺😭 So horrible what that industry did to these souls that brought made our youth joy..
To get more than one season on Nickelodeon seems like something goes on!
Keenan is a national treasure for us 90s kids! Protect him and Kel at all cost!!!!
What a great man Kenan is
When he said How dare you I cried all this coming out makes me so sick to my stomach that these kids were treated the way they were.
Even sicker when I heard they had to sign an NDA cuz that means if you’re a child and a grown up lays hands on you you can’t tell anyone that is just so wrong to me
Just like Jerry Trainor, Kenan always was and to this day is a stand up guy. Respect to the man 👏👏
Respect
More people need to speak out. This is crazy to think this happened for decades. Something is seriously wrong in the industry when they only care about views and money instead of the people affected.
Thinking about these shows always made me feel so nostalgic. My cousins and I used to watch all that and the Amanda show all the time, we thought it was the funniest thing. Thats the “sunny filter” time of my life, and this just absolutely breaks my heart. We didn’t know what was happening, I feel sick that we were exposed to that sick perverted “humour”.
They felt like our friends. Just regular kids.
I'm so proud of all those speaking out for what they went through back in the day, you know? These truths need to be told. It's important to toss out the bad stuff and baggage you carry as much as it's important to hold onto the good times. I just hope in the future, a lot of child stars can find their safe places in the acting business. Because this was supposed to be that for kids, even fans. Nothing but good, hard work, comfort and fun
The fact that he’s doing an interview and in no way pushing back on some of the allegations is wild. Nickelodeon completely failed these kids. And not bc the evidence wasn’t there it was pure negligence on behalf of the next dollar. Amanda bines ESPECIALLY should be getting all of their support right now def not her solely obviously
couldn't have said it better. straight up feeding these kids to monsters and getting millions of dollars in return. i mean, dan schneider is clearly a monster in his own right, but nickelodeon and the industry are the real fuckin monsters.
Yeah Nickelodeon and the industry are toxic and real monsters like Dan Schneider, Brian Peck and John Kricfalusi
I’m so proud of Kenan for speaking up still considering he’s in the industry and with such genuine care for his costars and childhood friends.. other Nickelodeon stars turn a blind eye.
They're pretending like this isn't still happening in the entertainment industry
No they aren't
Where are you getting that out of this?
Perfect balance of empathy and ‘my name is Bennet and I aint in it ‘
So let me get this straight he would go back, change his own attitude, and try to be nicer to the people he worked with. However, he would NOT FIRE those people who should NEVER be within 5,000 miles of a child. This is truly shocking.
Love how he said “ investigate it some more “
Lady looked like dam , didn’t like that answer lol
I'm glad I watched this. I figured it would be fluff, but I felt his pain. Now Dan? Disgusting dark energy.
FACTS
Take a drink every time Kenan says, "you know".
He's so wonderful
I don't know why I'm waiting for Keenan to start singing "Oooooohhh weeeeee! What's up wit Dat!" 😂
So far I've seen about 30 mins of the doc
... and it was brought up that a parent or guardian has to be with the kids on set to protect them.
But sometimes, it's the damn parents that are not protecting their kids or pressuring them.
I loved Kenan and Kel! ❤❤❤
It’s very sad, but what makes it really heartbreaking is that if these men could have continued with their behaviors, it would have went on til this day. Sometimes people are just sorry they got caught. Some people only apologize because eyes are on them now.
Kenan really said the perfect words and seemed so compassionate toward the victims and didn’t make anybody feel like he didn’t believe what was said. He is showing that he is a standup guy.
But Dan? The definition of a narcissist.
I love the quote about how close he said he was to Amanda Bynes and then follows up with "I haven't talked to her in 18 years" 🤣🤣🤣
I know that the exception doesn't make the rule, but I GENUINELY believe that Keenan was one of the lucky ones that didn't go through what a lot of these kids unfortunately had to go through.
🥰 Love Kenan.
And It was clear to see Amanda was broken. Terrible what happened to her & others. Should never have happened in what was supposed to be a safe place for children!
I believe the allegations that Jeannette McCurdy made against Dan Schneider is one of the reasons why Paramount+ cancelled the 4th season of iCarly (2021).
I need to read Jeanette's book. She talks the truth. Good for her.
Jennette McCurdy is a great singer
Good for Jeannette McCurdy
I always loved Kenan Thompson and Kel Mitchell. All That and Kenan and Kel were two of my favorite shows. I’m glad Kenan has spoken out about what happened and is supporting the victims. It would not surprise me if Kel does the same. He hasn’t said anything yet though…I hope nothing happened to him….
People saying Dan lost his career but what he really needs is to be lock up in jail for what he did those all of those kids and he ruin their happiness he’s a bad man and also you can tell in his eyes and form the energy that he’s not sorry once a manipulator is always a manipulator
Yes! After everything he did, being fired isn’t enough
This is probably hard for Kenan to comment on, but It's good he has. He has a lot of influence.
I pray for the soul of Dan Schneider. As a mental health practitioner, what he has done throughout the years as a top executive for kids television was major. He has done a lot of damage to many people on various levels. The caveat is their going to be more feeling empowered to come forward. Truthfully, he definitely needs to be remorseful and come clean about his actions. These individuals have been traumatized by the extent of his misdeeds. Frankly, many may or is currently receiving mental health treatment as result of those misdeeds under his leadership. Additionally, I believe that he needs to be prepared for the legal ramifications in adjacent to his now tarnished career. The bible says you reap what you sow. Finally, I will say that as a leader of any organization you must be able to lead people effectively to point where you're not putting them, yourself or the organization under scrutiny.
No. He can go to hell
Seeing Dan publicly address this with a level of accountability and remorse shows some growth on his part and it seems like he is genuinely attempting to make amends at least in the way he is treating colleagues moving forward. This says a lot about his character currently because many other influential people could have just tried to brush these serious allegations off and he is actually facing them head on with some level of remorse for the way he behaved in the past. I think this speaks positively about his potential to improve and treat people better in the future. Only time will tell whether this is actually the case but I prefer to focus on a person’s potential to learn from their mistakes and improve rather than discard/cancel them once they have made a mistake when possible (in certain cases that is just not possible and the person is just not fit to be living free in society). I also really appreciated Keenans comments about the documentary. He managed to stay true to his personal experience while also showing genuine care, empathy and understanding towards other actors who had totally different experiences. I’m glad I watched this video. Thank you for sharing it!
I hope that after everyone comes out at Nickelodeon, the following season will come for Disney next
Huh
Yeah, Disney had dirt on their hands also. They need to explain Orlando Jones, Aaron Carter, Linsey Lohan, Shia LeBeouf. They all developed issues after the decline of their careers as children, and it had to be over something during Disney Studios.
@@miguelesteban5768: It's way deeper than that... Brittany Spears...
I’m glad to see Dan Snyder speak about it and acknowledge it. That’s really honorable of him.
Perfect answer: I can’t speak on the things I didn’t experience. But I still validate and believe their stories.
Not the: It diDn’T haPpEn To mE sO i DoN’t BeliEvE iT.
Met him at a bar in Salt Lake City in like 2010. He’s a great dude, and root for him
Dan Schneider was IN Good Burger...
It was primarily adults on that movie tho
he was also in icarly in some parts
just the Good Burger All That sketches during the original series and the first Good Burger movie, he had nothing to do with Good Burger 2.
The original one
@@TheLosersTableIRLexcept the main characters he worked with Keenan and kel….ifk why he’s acting like he was so far removed from him
Kenan Thompson seems like such a great guy 🤩👏
Dan was on Good Burger with Kenan and Kel..
That was a movie that stemmed from the skit. The movie experience is not the same as filming a series
So was Brian peck
Maybe that was one of the few times he mentioned they had interacted with him.
love Kenan so much always have 🥰🥰
He’s only regretful because he’s being called out….
You don't know that
aaronjames3228 is Dan Schneider guys. He thinks he’s slick.
@aaronjames3228
A truly sincere and regretful person would have apologized years and years ago and not wait until the stories are made public and you’re busted.
Kenan still seems like a real person and a good dude. I always thought he was hilarious even when we were kids and I watched him on Nickelodeon. Him and Kel were in so many hilarious kids stuff back then that I watched. I actually think it's somewhat sad that he hasn't done more. He should have been more than the guy that was on SNL for over 20 years. He should be a more prominent comedian. Unfortunately after Rocky and Bullwinkle Hollywood never gave him another chance to do something that was more relevant for him as a comedian.
It's good at least he still seems real unlike a lot of other people that give these interviews.
