Never thought that it’d be so simple! The Nickelodeon sitcom Drake & Josh premiered in January 2004, launching The Amanda Show alums Drake Bell and Josh Peck to mainstream teen stardom and introducing audiences to Miranda Cosgrove.
“I met Miranda Cosgrove when she was 9 years old, like, auditioning to play my little sister. I was 14. Now she’s a fully grown human, she drives her Mercedes. She’s doing great,” Peck said of his onscreen stepsister at the April 2022 Los Angeles Times Festival of Books, per E! News.
