About this episode

The one and only Leon Thomas is here this week! You may know him as André from Nickelodeon’s Victorious or as a Grammy winning artist and producer. Leon talks ALL about his journey to Nickelodeon and his time on Victorious, including the connection he formed with Ariana Grande that led to producing her music. He also gives an honest look into what it’s like working with other major musical artists like Drake and SZA. Plus, the whole gang reminisces on the good, the bad, and the ugly of the Kids Choice Awards.


Who is Leon’s all-time favorite artist to work with? Why was Devon the only Ned’s cast member to get a Kids Choice Award? What did Michelle Obama do to Daniel?? Tune in now!
