Austin talks about the new Quiet On The Set docu-series on the Discovery Channel.

Transcript:

Austin Rhodes: It’s one of the most disturbing documentaries involving Hollywood I’ve seen in quite some time, and it’s airing right now on the Discovery Channel. If you haven’t seen it, I urge you to do it. Quiet On The Set is the name of the special, and it involves very serious allegations of sexism, racism, completely inappropriate behavior aimed at the underage cast members and stars of some of Nickelodeon’s most popular shows The Amanda Show, Drake and Josh, Zoe 101, iCarly, Victorious, Sam and Kat, all, of course, on Nickelodeon.

Back in the 90s, Dan Schneider was the main executive producer that was responsible for all these shows, and while he’s not directly accused himself of sexual impropriety, there’s a lot of very bizarre behavior that he does seem to, cop to. And, well, I tell you what, rather than spoil the documentary series, check it out.

If you had children, back in those days, and certainly I had where I had a daughter that loved her television shows, some very, very sad revelations involving these young people. Again, if you haven’t seen it is on the Discovery Channel right now, a four-part series called Quiet On The Set and it is absolutely disturbing.

Here’s to hoping the authorities have a complete investigation concerning the allegations are laid forth in this documentary. And folks, if you’ve got children that are around show business, well, if you’ve ever considered having your children around show business, take a look at this docu-series and be very, very aware of what can happen as the search for glitter and fame in Hollywood often takes a dark turn. Goodness gracious. That’s the comment, I’m Austin Rhodes. News Talk WGAC.
