"Following many conversations together about next directions and future opportunities, Nickelodeon and our long-time creative partner Dan Schneider/Schneider’s Bakery have agreed to not extend the current deal," the Viacom-owned cable network said in a statement Monday. "Since several Schneider’s Bakery projects are wrapping up, both sides agreed that this is a natural time for Nickelodeon and Schneider’s Bakery to pursue other opportunities and projects."

The company added: "Dan and his Schneider’s Bakery team have created a string of lasting, groundbreaking hits over the years including iCarly, Drake & Josh, Victorious, Kenan & Kel and the current No. 1 hit show on Nickelodeon, Henry Danger. We thank Dan and his Schneider’s Bakery producers, executives and social media team for their immeasurable contributions to Nickelodeon, and we wish them the best in their future endeavors. And Dan and Schneider’s Bakery are proud of the work they did together with Nickelodeon and will always remain big fans of the network.”

Well I hope he can get his foot in the door somewhere else...

That guy WAS nickelodeon for like the past 20 years. Pretty much responsible for all non nicktoon hits

[willywonka666]

Just came in to say he will always be Dennis Blunden to
me

And so Dan "Get in the Van" Schneider departs.

I wish him the best in his future endeavors and/or likely arraignment in court.

One of the biggest sexual abusers in Hollywood is finally going down. Why now and not 10 years ago? Better late than never I guess. It will been interesting to see how many former Nick actresses come forward with their stories now. This story is going to be big! Probably bigger than Weinstein's and rightfully so since it involves/involved minors.

I read that as Dan Schneider leaving Nickelback and thought to myself "who the hell cares?"

[Mozenrath]

If he's leaving due to impropriety, then I hope he goes down in flames. If not, well, end of an era, even moreso than Butch Hartman's departure, maybe.

I've never seen anything suggesting it that didn't reek of imageboard, so I don't know how much I buy it without, as far as I know, literally anyone involved making accusations. Him leaving now doesn't strike me as indicating veracity to that, unless Butch has skeletons of his own. Guessing it's more Nickelodeon wanting to move on by parting ways with their two powerhouses.

A lot of it is just due to popular assumptions and memes, but I do admit there have been some things are the margin which do give me pause:

Got a feeling when things start to be verified here it's gonna be real, real bad.

The terrible accounts are going to be at least ( •_•) ( •_•)>⌐■-■ (⌐■_■) footlong.

Basically rumors on 4chan and the stuff Jeanette has been posting.

.........huh. I always thought Dan Schneider was the nerdy guy with glasses from Head of the Class, not the big guy.

No, even if something happens it won't be bigger than Weinstein. Dan Schneider is a low-level guy who did cheap, silly little shows for Nickelodeon. Most people who aren't fans of those Nickelodeon shows have no idea who he is. Other than being on Head Of The Class 30 years ago, and making Nickelodeon shows for 12 year olds has he done anything of note (er, I mean career-wise)?

I only know who he is because I heard about all the sleazy stuff he did and found out that he had been on Head Of The Class and made ICarly and all those shows working around underage girls for Nickelodeon for years. I think he's known to the kids who grew up watching those shows but if you didn't, you wouldn't know who he is.

Did Dan "Wine her, dine her, 69 her but only if she's still a minor" Schneider actually do anything, or is it just idle chat on forums because he comes across as a creep?

Because given the Me Too movement and all the young girls he worked with, I'd have thought there'd be something revealed by now. Or at least rumours with more substance than a randomer on 4Chan

[Clash, Never a Meter Maid]

Shame, really. I enjoyed iCarly, it was a pretty fun show and Jennette McCurdy was hilarious on it.

If Schneider is guilty of misconduct, then hopefully he does get the book thrown at him. There were a fair number of gags that had an uncomfortable amount of foot focusing on iCarly at points, so that rumor doesn't shock me. But like Mozenrath said, I'm just waiting for more info to leak before I decide how I feel about this situation.

I know we're talking about Dan Schneider and all but here's this thing that's totally unrelated to him allegedly

Many people in Hollywood and out have been waiting to see when this Producer at this cable network is going to be called out, publicly accused, or charged for his many years of abuse behind the scenes. Many have wondered why - with so many others being brought down - he's managed to escape almost unscathed? It's because of his Protector. His Protector is the mega-wealthy big boss of the studio and corporate parent, and he wields a lot of power over many types of media, in both Hollywood and New York. Many years ago the Producer got himself in serious trouble over his perverted abuses of several of his actresses. Not just those he abused himself, but those he encouraged his writers, directors, and co-producers to sexually abuse. This was not a one-time thing, but an ongoing constant pattern which led those actresses to drugs, self-destruction, self-abuse, mutilation, destroyed dreams, wasted careers, damaged families, and even insanity. Made more disgusting by the complicity and apathy of the parents, "momagers", and guardians who just wanted fame and money. All so that some jolly perverts could get their rocks off living out their sick unfulfilled tweenage dreams. At that time, the Protector still had most of his marbles and was going to live forever. Many believe he still may, although he's now alive in name only and the flames are lapping at his legs daily. Back then he still had his iron grip on his business and he's never been afraid to sue, threaten, harass, or destroy others as his favorite sport.

Geez he has a hell of a reputation and so far it looks to be from the internet-I truly hope there’s nothing to it, but he’s already catching crap and this will stay with him regardless-not cool
