Mara Wilson

I remember I was lucky enough to go to a table read of The Simpsons one time, and so you had all the actors.

There was a couple of them were zooming in, but most of them were in the room.

how old were you 10 no no this was like last year and i was i went there as because a friend of mine works in the show and just seeing i mean i know we all know this but seeing adults voice like bar and lisa and like well and they're like different genders from the characters too a lot of times mind-blowing yeah it's the weirdest thing so yeah that is quite a weird aspect to it

Quiet on set is like the definitive thing I feel that got people kind of talking about how bad things could be.

And that dealt specifically with, what was the guy's name?

Dan Schreider?

Yeah.

Dan Schneider.

worked on a handful of the shows we talked about last so so many of them yes so many of them and the stories about him kind of dribbled out um in 2018 um kind of me too time deadline did an article about um some gender discrimination so it kind of started sort of lightly nothing like too insane but still awful and

and then 2021 new york times um reported that nickelodeon had severed ties with them so obviously something else is sort of something else is going on in there and that was more i think about him verbally abusing colleagues and just kind of being like a head idiot and then in 2022 more reports came out and that was more about him requesting massages on set

I understand not from kids, from adults, but getting into not great territory at all.

And then since then, there's been a lot of accusations about him behaving inappropriately with younger stars on set, because he was the creator.

He was the guy that everyone knew made the shows, and he'd be wandering around in all these sets.

And there's enough accusations he's denied a lot of them, but there's so many of them you kind of have to go, oh, yeah, something's going on here.

This is not good.

And just crazy to think that, like, the head, like, Nickelodeon big honcho is the one who is also just, like, a gross dude.

Yeah, yeah, because it's funny.

It's like, I feel that way.

I still haven't watched the Michael Jackson doc, because it feels too icky.

It's like, once it gets into that territory, it's like, I believe this person's a horrific person.
