Victorious’ Leon Thomas On Working With Ariana Grande, Drake, And SZA | Ep 57 

Leon's arguably the coolest Victorious cast member, since he was practically being himself all that time.

Congratulations to Leon on wining an Grammy

LEONS RESUME IS LONGGGGGG. I always forget how many iconic things he was apart of and how talented he is. Clicked the video as soon as I saw him. Victorious Bred so many big stars

ANDREEE!!!!! IT’S RAINING IN MY BATHROOM

ANDRÉ. THERE’S ANOTHER ME ON THE WALL 🗣️

Congratulations to him on not only winning a Grammy but also making and directing hits

At a time when there weren't many black actors on these shows, I really appreciated Leon and how his character wasn't a stereotype 💐👏🏾

You know Y'all gotta get the homie Kel Mitchell on the Pod next!

First! Love him! He was my favourites character on Victorious! Glad to see him doing well!!

I saw Andre and immediately knew I had to watch this one

Dang Leon venturing outside of acting and being really successful but also giving a honest response to your questions is really dope to see. This was a really good guest/convo

Leon was always my favorite on victorious. I always thought his musical talent was top tier and now he won a Grammy. I'm really happy he is doing well

Oh my god it’s Andre from victorious

I love the Ned's ads so much. I wish all creators were this creative and took the time to do this for us!

Leon is that guy when it comes to songwriting, so dope to see him flourish and get the credit he deserves

Leon Thomas III is the best former Nick star ever with Devon, Lindsey and Daniel❤️❤️❤️😁😁😁

Leon's story about how he got into the lion king, makes me think that the pilot of victorious was inspired by him

9:04 I learned Leon was a music producer listening Ari’s first album when it first came out. I’m a music nerd so I looked up the producers of her songs, The rascals produced like every song! Then I learned Leon was The rascals. Such a cool fact 2 of your favorite child hood stars making an album together! I was 15 at the time, I’m glad he’s finally all his work because I was telling my friends “Andre produced this Ariana song”

Andre’s grandma: “ANDRE!!!!! YOU WERE ON THE NED’S DECLASSIFIED PODCAST?! ANDREEEEE”

Disappointed in your reaction to the documentary about Nickelodeon, just because it didn’t happen to you doesn’t mean this isn’t a serious issue the others faced.

BRO. Leon is was and will likely forever be the most legendarily prolific artists to come out of Nickelodeon🔥 Been a stan since his iCarly cameo✊🏿😤 Bro unironically became the multitalented producing prodigy he was typecasted as🤣🤌🏿🔥 Hell, I think he's the reason I have dreadlocks💁🏿‍♂️ LMAO🥴🤣👏🏿👏🏿 Been GOAT🐐🤞🏿😎

You can tell this man is passionate for what he does it’s good to see him being a success

Devon, Lindsey, and Daniel Your podcasts include some of the OGs of Nickelodeon, and it's awesome

Timbs with ya legs crossed like that is outrageous

What tip you have in your survival guide for this one Ned?

YESSIRRRRR! Leon the goat fr!🐐

Brooo i seen the thumbnail and fuckin jumped up out of bed lmao alresdy know this gon be the best episode yet its like im 10 again 😭😭

Leon is extremely underrated. Bro has done so much as has so long to go.

You guys might be cooked😭

Making fun of what Drake Bell went through is just being despicable. Ned is a scumbag. But that’s what washed Hollywood actors do when they’re no longer relevant or getting any acting jobs, they make fun of horrible situations and pretend to be sorry afterwards just for attention.

Man I went to school in Brooklyn with Leon he was so Lowkey then shocked the whole school during the talent show 👏🏽👏🏽

Devin cusses like he just learned those words

it's great to hear from Leon Thomas

Omg i commented last week that he should come! Thank you !!

Lesgoooo another one to make work fly by!!

I knew Leon would be incredibly successful since the moment I saw him on screen as a child on iCarly as a guest star. An absolute gem of a human being ✨

Can i just say, yall do the BEST advertisements 😂

I literally remember when Ned Declassified ended and Victorious started. Wild

LET'S GOOOOO, INSTANT CLASSIC RIGHT HERE

Why y’all making fun of SA?

This episode was lovely. Leon's final advice was so pure and full of wisdom !

Leon's middle name being George is so funny in the context 😂😂😂

great interview

Whats your tip on handling supporting abusers

Bro is super humble for all the things he's done and just brushes it off acting like playing Simba on Broadway is casual.

-------------- These people are DEMENTED .......and "classless"! Quiet on Set - you know what we're talking about.

Thanks for the podcast, and sharing your stories. I imagine each of you poured a lot of yourselves into this, and I know you had plans to drag this out and talk about every single episode of the show. You had such a positive impact on some of us going through school and made it a little more livable. My guess is that you were all doing a bit, and just laughing and talking un-hinged as usual and someone mentioned the new documentary and you just said the first thing that popped into your head and went with it. I am not defending your actions and I truly think the fact that a joke like that is the first thing that came to your mind about this really shows how much you all still need to grow as people. I really wish I could finish this journey with my older internet siblings( How I saw you in the podcast) but I realize now that maybe you all do not have it as figured out as I thought you did. I hope that your friendships last after this because Neds sure wont. Im disappointed that it had to end like this, and sad many people will never watch any of the good episodes of this podcast, and will only see the bad takes, and the out of context comments and you will all be known as sex crazed teenagers who think sexual abuse is funny. You sh*t on the legacy and the newly reunited neds community. Maybe buy some shirts or donate some money to www.eatpredators.com/ or bring on someone involved in the bad side of Nick that can sit down and talk some sense into all of you, you need to listen rather than speak it would seem. I doubt you or anyone will see this but these are my feelings as someone who was a fan of the show/podcast but will now be leaving this community.

YESSSSS!!!!! Andre from Victorious and Tyrone from The Backyardigans ❤❤❤❤

Leon was fantastic on Victorious. This podcast is the best.

loved this!

It’s gonna take a while for them to bounce back from this Drake situation

So when yall gon mention #QuietOnSet?

I did not realize he was Eddie in insecure!! I was just a little too old to catch victorious, but it's been great to see how well this guy has done over the years

GRAMMY WINNER IN THE MF BUILDING 🎉

This was such a an easy watch. The conversation just flowed naturally

Leon was always my favorite Nick cast member on any show... relatable as Andre plus hella talented artist

leon a dope soul love the nickelodeon crew 🙌🏼

Victorious was such a STACKED cast. Like so many kids from Broadway etc and they've done so well after too obviously.

“Kids choice awards was always a great time” to “what’s your biggest fear?” took me out

He was soo nonchalant about his beginnings on Broadway!? That is soo cool 🤩

Nice episode !!!

I didn’t know Leon was Tyrone from Backyardigans. That’s crazy

Definitely one of my favorite episodes

omggg he’s here! 🥳

0:03 - 0:13 Best harmonizing

Enjoyed this ep

Omg yall got Leon! Super excited!

*sees Leon and instantly clicks* oh HELL YEAH!

never clicked so fast i’m living a fever dream

I wonder if they'll have an episode talking about Dan Snider with some older Nick stars and touch on the subject of what it was like to be a child actor in the 90s and early - mid 2000s

yoooo I didnt know Leon was Tyrone on Backyardagains. But my whole family absolutely loved August Rush he killed that movie as a kid🔥

One of the best guests you’ve had so far!

The MVP of the show himself! 😮

I was listening to this man's album for MONTHS before i realized I knew him from Nickelodeon lol. Quality stuff 🔥

HIS ALBUM IS SAVING MY LIFE

Amazing Leon Thomas is on the Ned’s podcast

Awesome episode 😃📺

My fav victorious cast member!!! Ahhh! ❤

YES THIS!!!!

hes right, Italy is the best. Wines cheap, foods cheap, friendly people and everyones so chill and just beautiful af

Leon is doing his thing👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

Yayyy, just binged watch all the episodes I had missed last night and now I get a new one 🫶🏽🩷 you guys are so entertaining 😄

The vibe change from talking about the kids choice awards to Lindsey asking what Leon is most scared of in the world was so funny

Unsubscribed after yo video about drake haven’t even been watching the pod cuz the last couple months been wack. Wish you guys were as cool as yall made yoself seem first couple episodes. It’s a shame I stood up for clowns I never even met before just cuz I watched yall on tv and some the pods.

We all seen that Grammy coming ! Leon is amazing ❤️

Wow my childhood, watched those 2 shows religiously everyday after school

Leon in August Rush was amazing. One of my fav movies

He’s so humble…

Wish it was longer but great podcast

I LOVE LEON SO MUCH OMG!!!!! ❤

My guy dream collaboration right there no cap 💯🙌🏾🙏🏾

I loved how they introduced him to the program.

I remember him on a movie called August Rush and you could tell then . He was something . So damn talented . Sing , write , plays multiple instruments like damn sir you showing out 💜

We Makin It Outta Hollywood Arts With This One 🗣️🗣️💯💯

I'm incredibly disappointed in your reaction to hearing what Drake endured. By making those "funny" little comments, not only does it come off as distasteful and invalidating; you are not-so-subtly indicating to ALL of your viewers (many of whom have been victims as well) that it's okay to joke about someone else's horrific trauma. How would you all feel if someone publicly made fun of the deepest emotional or physical wounds you've endured? How would you feel if someone publicly made jokes about your friend, loved one, sister/brother's assault... how could you possibly think that is okay to say? I've been a long time watcher of this podcast and fan. I genuinely root for you all. It's upsetting, and I hope you realize how damaging those statements are to your viewers, the victims, and honestly your own reputations. Please learn from this. And do better.

leon was tryna keep up with their insane energy lol

Lindsey started wildin at the beginning 🤣🤣🔥

RIP Ned’s Pod

you guys laughing at Drake Bell and his story made me hate you guys so fucking much.. here i was thinking you three were interesting and awkwardly cool.. NOPE...

They finally got the boy on! We found a Leon, especially after we watching Victorious a few year’s ago!😮‍💨🤝🏾
