Miranda Cosgrove and Icarly Spectacular!: Unofficial and Unstoppable

This guide takes readers through Miranda Cosgrove's early career: her major film experience (in 2003's School of Rock), her inspiring music career (with four hit singles by the time she was 16), and a major role on Drake & Josh. These demonstrations of her young talent granted her every young star's wish -- a new TV show tailor-made to showcase her talent. Created by Nickelodeon's visionary producer Dan Schneider, iCarly is a zany sitcom about three friends who start their own webcast, where they perform skits and stunts, and showcase their viewers' wild and wacky talents. Schneider called his creation a show where "kids win," and appropriately, iCarly won the ratings race while it was on the air, drawing nearly 8 million viewers per episode as the number one scripted show for kids and tweens. But fans weren't just watching. Kids submitted over 100,000 of their own videos to iCarly.com to be featured on the website and even on the show itself.
