T-Bo

T-Bo (born Terrence Jeter Bo Jackson) is an odd man who works at the Groovy Smoothie. He wears a bandana and is known for selling various food items on a stick. Although he usually annoys people, he seems to be good friends with the iCarly team. He once had a friend named Eddie Robinson. He is fascinated by extra-terrestrial life as shown on Carly's blog. He wants to be abducted by aliens one day. When crop circles that looked like him were found in England, T-Bo made some special smoothies using "English ingredients" to celebrate it. He enjoys asking people at the most inconvenient times if they want something like a bagel or pickle until they give in to him.

T-Bo's Employment at the Groovy Smoothie
On the iCarly website, a poll asks what type of smoothie should T-Bo invent next, implying that he owns (or at least creates the smoothie recipes for) the Groovy Smoothie.

Also, in iSpeed Date, T-Bo is working the night shift and turns up the music after Freddie asks him to.

In an interview on iCarly.com, Sam says he is one of the managers of the Groovy Smoothie. We find out that before he started selling things on a stick, he sold things in buckets. He proved that food sold better on a stick because he tested it by first trying to sell bananas in a bucket and only sold a few. He put the rest of the bananas on a stick and sold the rest. T-Bo could put almost anything on a stick. In iGot A Hot Room, he put hard shell tacos on a stick, which Carly could not even do.

It is revealed in another iCarly interview that T-Bo also has a collection of pens, some of them from significant moments in his entire life.

T-Bo's Running Gag
A running gag is that T-Bo almost always begs people (especially the iCarly gang) to buy things that are not smoothies, usually on a stick (bell peppers, bagels, doughnuts, etc) even if it's near impossible to put on a stick (i.e. When Carly tried to put a set of tacos on a stick, one broke apart though somehow T-Bo was able to put it on successfully without a crack). In an interview with Sam, he says it's because food looks better on a stick.
