Ep 60: Miranda Cosgrove Reign with Josh Smith
-
- Personal Journals
Are there any iCarly stans in the house? Well today we are joined by the show’s star, Carly herself, Miranda Cosgrove! Even if you haven’t seen the show, you are still going to love this fascinating insight into child stardom. Miranda was just 14 when she started filming the Nickelodeon show which followed Carly and her pals, Sam (Jennette McCurdy), Freddie (Nathan Kress), Spencer (Jerry Trainor) and Gibby (Noah Munck), as she set up a web show whilst they all dealt with the trials and tribulations of being a teenager. The show was the place for all of the cast's milestones - = Miranda tells me she even had her first kiss on set, on camera. The show made Miranda the highest paid child actor, a multiple Kids Choice Awards winner, and it even led to her becoming a singer with multiple albums and USA wide tours. The original incarnation of iCarly ended 2012 after six record breaking seasons, but now iCarly is back and reformed as an adult sitcom which is finally landing on Paramount+ in the UK! Trust me, it’s legit funny and it’s got the 100% rotten tomatoes score to prove it. In this episode, Miranda talks to meabout the life of a child star from sexist pressures, to growing up in the public eye. She also shares why she temporarily turned her back on fame to go to college, and how she found her voice when she became an executive producer on the iCarly reboot. I loved indulging in some nostalgic moments with Miranda (skunk bag comebacks included!) and the episode is an important reminder to get out there, in real life, and find yourself. This is just the second episode of this season of Reign - check out the first episode of Stranger Things star, Natalia Dyer ICYMI - and come back next Tuesday when we will be joined by the equally inspirational Zoey Deutch. I hope you keep on listening and finding the power to Reign in your own lives. If you love this episode, please get in touch (follow me across social media @joshsmithhosts), I love hearing from you. Love, Josh xxx
