Miranda Cosgrove turns Kai Cenat stream into an ‘iCarly’ episode

Kai Cenat has made his childhood dream come true in the 2000s. The YouTuber joined forces with iCarly star Miranda Cosgrove to essentially do his own version of the iCarly webcast via a stream, only this time called KaiCarly. The two taste-tested McDonald’s, including the fast food chain’s new Chicken Big Mac, which eventually turned into life-sized hamburgers, Random Dancing, and even some really strange moments like karate with a piñata, so it’s basically like a normal episode of the Webcast from the Nickelodeon series.

The flow also included the iCarly opening credits, which got a complete makeover to match “KaiCarly,” and it really topped it all off. Many fans took to the comments on the video to let us know how much they loved it, with JessAnonymous saying it was “so wholesome and nostalgic. Miranda is just adorable. I’m glad Hollywood didn’t change her authenticity and that Kai made her feel comfortable. We need Miranda back in the main room one of these days.”

Cosgrove played Carly Shay on Nickelodeon’s iCarly from 2007 to 2012. Considered one of the network’s more successful shows, the series focused on three teenagers who create a web show. Nickelodeon and Paramount+ gave the show a revival in 2021, starring Cosgrove as well as fellow original stars Nathan Kress and Jerry Trainor. The series only lasted three seasons Paramount+ canceled it in October 2023 on a major cliffhanger that almost revealed Carly and Spencer’s mother.

Whether this could be a regular thing on Kai Cenat’s channel is unknown, or at least something that will happen every now and then. Cenat is known for having some great guests on his channel, including recently even John Cena Lil Uzi Vert. Just looking at the comments, it’s clear that fans are thrilled that Miranda Cosgrove joined in on the fun, and people probably wouldn’t mind if she stepped into Carly’s shoes for a little longer.

Regardless of whether she steps back into the role of Carly Shay, either for a YouTube video/stream or another revival, it was nice to see Cosgrove doing as well as ever. iCarly certainly had a major impact on many children who are now adults, and that impact has not left them. And thanks to Cenat, fans were able to experience that again iCarly feeling a little longer.
