Dan Schneider responds to ‘Quiet on Set’ doc, calls for cutting taboo jokes from Nickelodeon reruns

Dan Schneider — the former Nickelodeon producer at the center of the new doc “Quiet on Set” — said he owes people a “strong apology” after being accused of sexism, racism and inappropriate workplace behavior.

“Watching over the past two nights was very difficult,” he told BooG!E, who played T-Bo on “iCarly,” in a video uploaded to his YouTube channel Tuesday.

“Me facing my past behaviors, some of which are embarrassing and that I regret, I definitely owe some people a pretty strong apology.”

The 58-year-old furthered that when he watched the doc, he “could see the hurt in some people’s eyes and it made me feel awful and regretful and sorry.”

In the four-part docuseries which aired Sunday and Monday on ID, Schneider was accused by several former Nickelodeon child stars and employees of allegedly fostering a toxic work environment, as well as tormenting and humiliating the cast and crew on his TV sets.

The producer — who worked on Nickelodeon shows like “The Amanda Show,” “Drake & Josh,” “Zoey 101,” “iCarly,” “Victorious” and “Sam & Cat” — was called a “psychological tormenter” by former Nickelodeon writer Amy Berg.

“During my year with Dan, I wasn’t aware of any physically inappropriate behavior,” she shared on X Monday.

Nobody wants his apology, we want him convicted.

[manwithballsonarm]

They turned the comments off on original video. Thats all you need to know

[teehouston]

After ALL these years NOW you're sorry??? Keep the "apology". No words could ever fix the damage you've done.

[Vub.]

He is litterally only sorry that he got caught, he could have apologized years ago. And this guy giving the interview works for him and thats a huge conflict of intrest. They probably went over all the questions together and filmed this before "quiet on the set" was released and had it ready to drop right after it aired. All damage control.

[NotTheWoz_]

He's not sorry that he did it, he's sorry he got caught.

[Sparknell]

Worst interviewer ever. Those questions and answers are so softball it's enraging.

[corsh]

The interviewer is disgusting for helping this monster defend itself. No journalistic integrity

[SaccoMabowles]

Everyone's sorry when they hear the pitchfork wielding mob.

[InnocentBirdwingButterfl-mhru]

He went from looking like a sentient big toe to Al McWhiggin from Toy Story 2.

[fluffygab]

Homie ruined children's entire lives because he couldn't figure out how to talk to people his age.

Let that sink in

In 2018, shortly after Dan “left” Nickelodeon, Crazy Days and Nights released a blind item allegedly from Amanda Bynes with a cryptic message. Amanda writes “thank you for all of your ongoing support. i Don’t know how Any of these meN sleep at night, but if there’s one thing that i Do know Is that what’s Done In the dark, always comes to lighT! xoxo” the capitalized letters spelled “DAN DID IT”

[icecreamhero]

Crocodile tears. It only took a documentary and being all over the news for you to apologize.

"I don't want any foes, I just want toes" - Dan Schneider

[CesarRosasJr]

What really hurts about this is that he not only made my childhood, but he was one of the main people who inspired me to pursue filmmaking and making skits, inspiring me to launch my YouTube channel, [CJ] Studios. But I will never be like him. I consider my actors family. I can NEVER imagine mistreating my crew. As much as I love the art that he has created, I cannot admire the artist himself.

[dazed]

He’s done way more than what’s listed….

[Airamh]

Yeah I don’t believe him. Does anyone? Genuine question.

[VitaminNick-kr]

Moral of the story: never work at Nickelodeon.

[NovikNikolovic]

T-Bo, blink twice if Dan is holding you hostage

[ItzCoinZ]

He's only sorry he got caught bro

[denzelreid]

His apology is worth less than a used Lottery ticket.
