ID\u2019s Quiet on Set: The Dark Side of Kids TV<\/em><\/a> unpacks several former Nickelodeon cast and crew members\u2019 experiences working on the network in the 1990s and early 2000s. From sexual assault allegations<\/a> against two child predators (Brian Peck<\/strong><\/a> and Jason Handy), to workplace harassment claims, one of the biggest names mentioned in the doc is former producer Dan Schneider<\/strong>. Nickelodeon parted ways from Schneider in 2018, and viewers are asking where he is now and what he\u2019s been doing.<\/p>\n

Learn more about Schneider and where he is below.<\/p>\n

Who Is Dan Schneider?<\/h2>\n

Schneider is credited as the creator of multiple famous Teen Nick shows, including\u00a0Zoey 101, Drake & Josh, iCarly<\/em> and more. He was also the brains behind All That<\/em> and the sketch comedy series On Air Dares\u00a0<\/em>as part of SNICK (Saturday Night Nickelodeon), \u00a0and worked as an actor and a screenwriter.<\/p>\n

In the Quiet on Set<\/em> doc, former All That<\/em> actor Bryan Hearne<\/strong> recalled the uncomfortable and sometimes horrifying dares the young cast members were subjected to. Episodes of On Air Dares<\/em> would start by displaying various All That<\/em> actors in glass containers, and one would be chosen at random to do a specific dare, such as having a scorpion hang inside their mouth or being submerged in a tub of worms. Hearne recalled his uncomfortable dares on the segment and alleged there was racism on the set.<\/p>\n

\u201cThey were fitting me for the little fetus role, and essentially you are a fetus, so you are naked,\u201d he explained. \u201cYou have a bodysuit on you and it has to be skin tone. Someone said, \u2018The skin tone should be charcoal.\u2019 I started to get teary eyed.\u201d<\/p>\n

Hearne also alleged, \u201cDan had a nicer relationship with some of the other white kids. I didn\u2019t feel close to him at all. My time on Nickelodeon played a big role in how I dealt and still deal with racial issues.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

Former iCarly<\/em> star Jennette McCurdy<\/strong><\/a> also detailed several interactions with Schneider in her 2022 memoir, I\u2019m Glad My Mom Died<\/em>. Without directly naming him, McCurdy called him \u201cThe Creator\u201d in her book and described how angry he became at her while filming the kissing scene between her character, Sam, and Nathan Kress<\/strong><\/a>\u2018 character, Freddie.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Creator looks me right in the eye but doesn\u2019t say anything for four or five seconds,\u201d McCurdy wrote in her memoir. \u201cI almost start to laugh, thinking he might be messing with me for fun like he does sometimes, but then I recognize that there is a deep anger in him. This is no time for laughter.\u201d<\/p>\n

In response to the Quiet on Set<\/em> doc, Nickelodeon released a statement to Hollywood Life<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

\u201cThough we cannot corroborate or negate allegations of behaviors from productions decades ago, Nickelodeon as a matter of policy investigates all formal complaints as part of our commitment to fostering a safe and professional workplace environment free of harassment or other kinds of inappropriate conduct,\u201d the network\u2019s 2024 statement read. \u201cOur highest priorities are the well-being and best interests not just of our employees, casts and crew, but of all children, and we have adopted numerous safeguards over the years to help ensure we are living up to our own high standards and the expectations of our audience.\u201d<\/p>\n

Where Is Dan Schneider Now?<\/h2>\n

During a 2021 interview with The New York Times<\/em>, Schneider \u201cdeclined to comment\u201d on the investigation into his work ethics but insisted that he did not leave Nickelodeon on \u201cbad terms.\u201d He also mentioned that he served as co-creator of the Henry Danger<\/em> spinoff, Danger Force<\/em> and \u201ctook a break to take care of a lot of stuff that I\u2019d let go by the wayside for decades.\u201d<\/p>\n

Schneider also noted at the time that he was working on a pilot for another network that was geared for \u201cmore of an adult audience.\u201d<\/p>\n

As of 2024, it\u2019s unclear if Schneider is working on any other TV shows.<\/p>\n

Was Dan Schneider Fired From Nickelodeon?<\/h2>\n

In 2018, Schneider and Nickelodeon released a joint statement to multiple outlets, announcing the end of their collaboration.<\/p>\n

\u201cFollowing many conversations together about next directions and future opportunities, Nickelodeon and our long-time creative partner Dan Schneider\/Schneider\u2019s Bakery have agreed to not extend the current deal,\u201d the statement read. \u201cSince several Schneider\u2019s Bakery projects are wrapping up, both sides agreed that this is a natural time for Nickelodeon and Schneider\u2019s Bakery to pursue other opportunities and projects. \u2026 Dan and his Schneider\u2019s Bakery team have created a string of lasting, groundbreaking hits over the years including iCarly<\/em>, Drake & Josh, Victorious, Kenan & Kel<\/em> and the current number-one hit show on Nickelodeon, Henry Danger<\/em>. We thank Dan and his Schneider\u2019s Bakery producers, executives and social media team for their immeasurable contributions to Nickelodeon, and we wish them the best in their future endeavor[s]. And Dan and Schneider\u2019s Bakery are proud of the work they did together with Nickelodeon and will always remain big fans of the network.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
