Quotes[]
Jennette: Do you wanna interview me? |
Christopher: (talking to Noah Munck) You know, in the history of this show, I have only been nervous to meet three guests: Paul McCartney, Gary Busey, and now, Gibby. |
Christopher: My next guest is both well-known and unappealing. He plays the role of Spencer Shay with all the subtlety of a wild monkey. Before he played Spencer, you may have seen him in the men's room at the Burbank airport where he cleaned the urinals. |
(after Christopher continuously calls Noah Munck "Gibby" instead of Noah) |
Miranda: It looks like a crep, doesn't it? |
Jerry: Son of a-- |
Nathan: [yawwwwwn] (repeated) |
Miranda: Actually my last name's Cosgrove. |
Christopher: Do you hate Jerry Trainor? |
Christopher: You know, you were so adorable on Drake and Josh. |
