‘Quiet On Set’: Dan Schneider Apologizes For Behavior Depicted In Investigation Discovery Docuseries

Dan Schneider is apologizing for his behavior depicted on Investigation Discovery’s Quiet On Set and vows to holds himself accountable for how he acted on his Nickelodeon shows in the late 1990s and early 2000s.

Schneider’s comments were made to BooG!e, who played T-Bo on iCarly and watched the IG series. He reached out to Schneider to ask him some questions about the docuseries and to give him a platform to respond.

“Watching over the past few nights was very difficult,” Schneider says. “Me facing my past behaviors, some of which are embarrassing and I regret. I definitely owe some people a pretty strong apology.”

Schneider goes on to say he never ever should have asked for massages and crossed the line in the writer’s room with some of the jokes he told and the pranks that he pulled. He’s even calling for some of his old jokes to be cut from reruns of his old shows.

The first two installments that dropped Sunday were meant to reveal “an insidious environment rife with allegations of abuse, sexism, racism, and inappropriate dynamics with its underage stars and crew,” according to ID. The next two episodes aired Monday.

After the first two episode, Schneider released this statement: “Dan expected and asked a lot from his teams,” according to a statement obtained by Deadline. “They worked long hours and consistently made successful shows. In the challenges of production, Dan could get frustrated at times, and he understands why some employees found that intimidating or stressful. In a career spanning 30+ years, Dan worked with thousands of people, many of whom still tell him how much they enjoyed and appreciated working on his shows. But he also knows some people did not have a positive experience, and he is truly sorry for that.”
