Nightmare at Nickelodeon? In her August 2022 memoir, Jennette McCurdy opened up about her experience filming the series Sam & Cat with Ariana Grande.“What finally undid me was when Ariana came whistle-toning in with excitement because she had spent the previous evening playing charades at Tom Hanks’ house,” McCurdy recalled in an excerpt from I’m Glad My Mom Died, per The New York Times. “That was the moment I broke.”The iCarly alum’s tell-all book, which details her experience being pushed into show business by her late mother, Debra McCurdy, is slated to be released on August 9.According to the Nickelodeon alum, the network didn’t allow her to pursue other opportunities during her time on Sam & Cat — a stricture that didn’t apply to Grande.
