So, while I go see my boss, I want you to watch this new show we're making.

It's really funny.

Okay.

But, Michelle, Why would you accept two dates to the prom but not tell either boy about the other?

Because, dad, Luke is so sweet, But Brandon is so hot.

Ah, noodles.

Lame.

And now, we're gonna see what happens when you take an ordinary watermelon--

These are brand new pants.

Seriously guys.

Come on, Sam. Not my pants.

It'll be fun.

Will one of you help me pull this nozzle out?

Hello.

I'm the head of development for TVs.

We wanna turn "iCarly" into a hit TV show.

But I should probably call my brother, Spencer.

He's the adult that's responsible--

Hey. They picked me up on the way here. In a limo.

It's full of fancy sodas and fruits I never even heard of.

This is a guava.

Guava.

Nope.

Okay, everyone, Now, please sit. Take a seat.

Oh, I will.

Now, you kids like riding in that limousine?

Oh, yeah.

Well, if you'll agree to do "iCarly"

as a regular show here at TVs, you guys can use that limo whenever you want.

What country is this soda from?

I don't know.

Well, it's sweet like berries.

Thank you.

What about stuff like cameras, lighting, audio?

We're even gonna recreate your little "iCarly" studio right here at TVs.

But then, how does Freddie fit into the TV show?

He's going to be "iCarly's" new supervising producer.

Supervising producer.

Is that dangerous?

Does it involve anything sharp or pointy?

Mom.

What about snacks?

Don't TV shows always have a big snack table somewhere?

Yes, of course.

And would there be ribs?

Do you like ribs?

Very much, yes.

Then, we'll have ribs.

What do you call it?

I call it "Carly, Sam, yeah."

Punch it.

Going' great, huh?

Yeah.

But I think the show looks a little too bright.

Can we bring down the lighting just a bit?

Look, it's really not your job to handle the lighting, okay?

But you said I was gonna be a producer.

Yeah, but you gotta work your way up to producing stuff like lights.

Okay.

So, what can I produce right now?

Why don't you go produce me a toasted bagel with cream cheese?

Coming.

Hey, Mrs. Benson, What's up?

By force of habit, I made some after-school snacks For Freddie, But since he's at rehearsal, I thought maybe you'd like to share them with me.

I really--

Share them with me.

All right.

These are cucumber cups filled with low-fat yogurt and chopped celery.

I really don't think I've ever--

Interesting flavor.

Thank you.

You know, it is so lonely in the afternoons without Freddie.

Yeah, it's pretty quiet around here without Carly too.

Been doing laundry to help me keep my mind--

I can help with your laundry.

Oh, thanks, but seriously, you don't have to--

Where's your name?

Huh?

In your underpant.

You don't have your name sewn into your underpants.

No. no, I'm a grown man.

A grown man who's going to lose his underpants.

Well, I've--

I'll go get my sewing machine, you finish the cucumber cups.

Cucumber's really aren't my-- and you're gone.

Yes. Nice and stinky.

Now, before we go--

We just wanna remind you--

Drive slow.

Yeah, right.

Hey, where is Freddie?

He's cleaning out my fish tank.

So, listen, I thought rehearsal went great, Like, perfect.

Cool.

Sweet.

But I'd like to make some changes.

Why change anything?

You just said It was perfect.

Well, it was.

But we don't feel Harper Should talk so much.

Why not?

He's really cool and funny.

I know, but we just did some testing and our research shows that kids love dinosaurs.

Dinosaurs?

What are you talking about?

I'm talking about Zeebo.

Zeebo?

I'm Carly.

And I'm Sam.

And I'm Zeebo.

I've been told not to speak.

Okay.

Welcome to "iCarly."

Now, today, we're gonna--

I can't believe this is so going on.

Help Zeebo! Help Zeebo!

Cut. Cut it. Cut.

Come on, Sam.

I think you made your point.

I don't have to take this, you know?

I did four episodes of "full house."

Ethan.

Come on, guy, don't do this.

Oh, personally, I love Zeebo.

But I guess we'll just have to do the show without him.

Oh, darn.

Don't worry.

Anyone can play Zeebo.

Ah, hey, Harper, come here.

What's up?

Put this on.

No, it smells like the dude's hair.

Harper.

There. You look great.

I don't wanna play Zeebo.

We have a contract And you play whatever I tell you to play.

Let go of my snout.

How's he gonna play keyboard if he's wearing that dumb Zeebo costume?

Oh, don't worry about that.

We're getting rid of the band completely.

What?

Why?

So we'll have time for more Zeebo.

Why are you so stupid?

Ooh, I'm late for a thing with a guy.

He's ruining "iCarly."

Zeebo.

How long before that nub dresses me up like a dinosaur and starts calling me Carbo?

Hello.

What's that?

Bag of ice.

For what?

Brad told me there's some guy who works here who got all sweaty, And I'm supposed to cool him down.

Over here.

Ah, yeah.

That's the stuff.

Rub it around.

Oh, okay.

You like Italian food?

Careful, Spencer.

I'm fine. Just hand me the screwdriver.

Okay. But caution.

The tip is pointy.

I've used a screwdriver Lots of times.

I really don't think--

Ow, oh, oh.

I warned you. Come down. Let me see it.

It's fine.

Oh, my god, it's bleeding.

Oh, we got a bleeder.

My hand is bleeding.

I'll go get my first aid kit.

Wait.

I don't think I should be left alone.

There's a hole in my hand.

Mrs. Benson?

Mrs. Benson?

Mrs. Benson?

Everything's fine.

I've got my first aid kit.

Wow. That's large.

Thank you.

Hold out your hand.

Is it gonna sting?

Cause I don't want it to... Ah.

That's nice.

Bandage.

And you know what's gonna make you feel even better?

A visit from dr. lollipop?

A visit from dr. sugar-free lollipop.

Hey.

Lick slower.

Sorry.

I hate this TV network, But I love their ribs.

The sauce is so thick and rich.

Look at this.

That's good barbecue sauce.

You understand that it's wrong.

Yes.

Hey, guys, good news.

The network execs watched the tape of yesterday's rehearsal And they loved it.

They are cuckoo for "iCarly."

But you just wanna change--

One thing.

Shocker.

This involves you, Sam.

If you try to put that dinosaur head on me, I swear--

No. Nothing like that.

You're fired.

What?

You can't fire Sam.

Whoa, wait, whoa.

If you fire me, Do I still get paid for the whole week?

Yes.

Later.

Sam, don't go.

I can't do "iCarly" Without Sam.

She's my co-host.

Sorry.

But our executives found her pushy and aggressive.

She is pushy and aggressive. That's her thing.

And not to be rude, But you are kind of stupid.

Carly, relax.

You won't have to do the show alone.

We got you a new co-host.

Who?

Amber Tate.

The movie star?

Yup.

She's right over there getting her makeup done.

Wow. Can I meet her?

No.

But you can meet her dog.

Her dog?

Yeah.

I need you to give it a bath.

Be careful.

He vomits a lot.

Have fun.

Okay. Look, brad.

Nothing against you or Amber Tate Her vomiting dog, But this isn't turning out like I thought it would.

I like doing my show With Freddie behind the camera And Sam standing next to me.

So, I think I'll just go home And keep making "iCarly" the way we like it.

Yeah, sorry, you can't do that.

What do you mean she can't do that?

We own the title "iCarly" now.

And we own you.

Oh, come on, get psyched.

It's gonna be great.

Just read the new script.

Wait, wait. Sam and I write our own scripts.

Not anymore.

We hired professional Comedy writers.

Hey, you know where the ribs are?

We heard there were ribs.

Are there ribs?

Harper put your head on.

Thank you.

Freddie.

The dog puked on me Four times.

Give me him.

Did he make him tummy upset What did you do to him?

Ow.

Don't thump him.

I'll thump who I wanna thump.

Don't even talk to me.

Too late.

I'm already talking to you.

And since I am, What is with you Chick celebrities carrying around your prissy little dogs?

I've had chicken wings with more meat on them than that thing.

Well, when you're ready to apologize to me And bitty boo, we'll be in my dressing room.

Hey, kid, go unclog the toilet in my office.

No.

I toasted your bagel, cleaned your fish tank, got yacked on by Amber Tate's rat dog, And I even rubbed ice all over a sweaty guy's stomach, but I will not plunge your toilet.

Come on. you're my supervising producer.

Well, I ain't supervising what you produced in there.

I'm sorry, Carly. I quit.

Well, now, we've lost Sam, Freddie, and Harper.

Oh, everything's Gonna be fine.

Fine? this isn't even "iCarly" anymore.

Oh, come on, how can you say--

you know, you're right.

This isn't "iCarly" anymore.

So, this is what TVs Did with "iCarly"?

Uh-huh. They turned it into a sitcom.

And they're not even calling it "iCarly" anymore.

Lucky for us.

So, you get the name back?

Yeah.

We did.

Let's watch.

Okay.

But, Michelle, why would you accept two dates To the prom without telling either boy about the other?

'cause, dad, Luke is so sweet, But Brandon is so hot.

What?

Oh, noodles.

Lame.

In five, four, three, two--

Howdy, y'all. I'm Carly.

And this is "iCarly."

Back on the internet.

Where nobody can tell us what to do.

Yeah, baby.

And now, Carly will spell the word "punctuality--"

While Sam screams like a girl in a horror movie about to be eaten by a monster.

P-u-n-c-t-u-a-l-i-t-y.

Nice job, Carls.

Thank you, Sam.
