Taking place just blocks away from WHYY's Forum Theater, where the first episodes of Double Dare were taped before production moved to Nickelodeon Studios in Orlando, Florida, this one-night-only event will invite Gakheads to join the cast and crew behind Double Dare as they recount their favorite moments both on and off camera and get the "Inside Slop" of the groundbreaking series that grew from a small kids’ game show into a global phenomenon… and put Nickelodeon on the map!

The cast and crew from DOUBLE DARE will take the stage one last time, to divulge everything from the secret slime recipe to tales of behind-the-scenes shenanigans!"

'The Secret World of Alex Mack' Cast Set to Reunite for Their First-Ever Convention at 90s Con In October 2026

"To get to reunite and reminisce with the cast of 'Alex Mack' is such a gift,' said Larisa Oleynik.

Long before Tobey Maguire's Peter Parker was bitten by a radioactive spider, junior high school student Alexandra Mack was nearly hit by a truck and drenched in an experimental chemical called GC-161 that gave her superpowers—and The Secret World of Alex Mack was born.

The Nickelodeon hit, starring Larisa Oleynik in the title role, aired for four seasons from 1994 to 1998. And now, it's been revealed that the cast is reuniting for their first convention at 90s Con in Hartford, Connecticut, in October.

Oleynik will be joined at the annual star-studded convention by Meredith Bishop (who played Alex's older sister Annie), Darris Love (who played Ray, Alex's best friend and next-door neighbor) and Natanya Ross (who was Robyn, one of Alex and Ray's neighborhood pals).

"To get to reunite and reminisce with the cast of Alex Mack is such a gift," Oleynik, 44, told PEOPLE, who first reported the news. "We hope the fans are as excited to share with us as we are with them! I'm very much looking forward to celebrating my favorite decade with some of my favorite people."

“After more than 30 years, to get to go back with my sacred 90s TV family and run it back one more time means more than I can even put into words," Ross, 44, says. "We are so excited to not only be at 90s Con together this October, but also to all be together as a family again. It's so incredibly special, and to do it at the literal Best 90s pop culture show out there, we are beside ourselves. Years in the making, baby!” 

Oleynik recently made her Nickelodeon homecoming in the sitcom Erin & Arron, this time playing the mom.

The Secret World of Alex Mack is available to stream on Prime Video.

The cast joins an already stacked lineup heading to Connecticut this fall. The lineup includes Selma Blair, Rachael Leigh Cook, Nick Carter, AJ McLean and Tara Reid, as well as Melrose Place's Heather Locklear, Josie Bissett, Laura Leighton, Daphne Zuniga, Grant Show and Rob Estes; Dr. Quinn, Medicine Woman duo Jane Seymour and Joe Lando; Step by Step's Patrick Duffy, Christine Lakin, Staci Kean, Angela Watson, Christopher Castile, Sasha Mitchell, Josh Byrne and Jason Marsden; Perfect Strangers pair Bronson Pinchot and Mark Linn-Baker; Hocus Pocus director Kenny Ortega and stars Thora Birch, Vinessa Shaw, Omri Katz, Larry Bagby and Tobias Jelinek; and Wishbone voice actor Larry Brantley.

90s Con runs from Oct. 16-19 at the Connecticut Convention Center in Hartford. Weekend and day passes are available to purchase through the official website.

'Hey Dude' Cast Reunites at the Ranch, 35 Years After Nickelodeon Show's Conclusion

The cast of the early Nickelodeon hit reunited at the very ranch where they filmed the show, which ended 35 years ago this summer

Hey Dude, the gang is back together!

The cast of Hey Dude, the Nickelodeon Western comedy series that followed a group of teen ranch workers, reunited at the Tanque Verde Ranch in Tuscon, Arizona, where the series was filmed, for a special episode of the Hey Dude... The 90's Called! podcast.

The live reunion aired on Saturday, January 31, 2026, 35 years after the show came to a conclusion in August 1991. Hosts Christine Taylor and David Lascher had fun taking a trip down memory lane with their fellow cast and crew members — David Brisbin, Kelly Brown, Debra Kalman, Joe Torres, Geoffrey Coy, Jonathan Galkin, and Josh Tygiel.

During their chat, Brown, who played Brad, talked about revisiting what's left of the set, which still remains in the area.

"It felt like, well, 'This is what the last few seconds must be like when you leave the Earth,' because [I felt] everything," she began.

A post shared by HeyDudeThe90sCalled (@heydudethe90scalled)

"I pulled through those gates and it was, all the memories, everything, was flooding. And I actually went yesterday, before all you guys, because I knew I was gonna be emotional," Brown admitted.

"I got the cries and the tears out and the choking up. I got it all out yesterday. It was emotional. It was very emotional. We spent a lot of time there... It was very intense."

"And also, a lot of it is just not there," Taylor, who played Melody, pointed out. "That's also very surreal. Like, our bunk house, Brad and Melody's bunk house, gone."

"Rubble," Brown agreed.

Hey Dude premiered on Nickelodeon in July 1989 and ran for five seasons until Aug. 1991. Casting for the series was done, in part, in the Tucson area. Tygiel, who played Buddy, was cast through local auditions, which is ironic because Buddy was new to ranch life in the show's action.

Each season took place over the summer and dealt with coming-of-age issues like friends and romance, while also spotlighting ranch life.

The reunion will be available in full for listeners who couldn't make the live stream as an episode of Hey Dude... The 90's Called!, which Taylor and Lascher have hosted since 2022, in the coming weeks.

Hey Dude Alum Joe Torres Explains Why His Favorite Episode Is One He Was 'Written Out of' After an Off-Set Accident

The cast of the early Nickelodeon hit shared laughs and memories as they reunited on the ranch where it all began, 35 years after the series' conclusion

NEED TO KNOW

• Hey Dude premiered on Nickelodeon in July 1989 and ran for five seasons until Aug. 1991

• Original cast members Christine Taylor, David Lascher, David Brisbin, Kelly Brown, Debra Kalman, Joe Torres, Geoffrey Coy, Jonathan Galkin and Josh Tygiel participated in a live reunion at the Tanque Verde Ranch in Tucson, Arizona, where the series was filmed

• The cast members talked favorite episodes and best memories, which will be featured as an upcoming episode of Taylor and Lascher's podcast, Hey Dude... The 90's Called! 

The Hey Dude cast always had each other's backs!

When discussing favorite episodes of the series during their recent reunion at the Tanque Verde Ranch in Tucson, Arizona, where the series was filmed, Joe Torres, who played Danny Lightfoot, laughed with Christine Taylor as they remembered a storyline that was transferred from him to her after a mishap left him unable to be in the episode.

While the costars didn't specify which episode, Torres began by joking, "My favorite episode was the one that I got written out of."

Taylor called the moment a "great story," urging Torres to share the background of an off-set injury that led him to miss the episode.

"At that time, I was into really into mountain biking. I went on an ill-fated ride, a midnight ride up Sabino Canyon, and coming back down, I hit... they have a stone bridge and there's a turn, and I hit that bridge, went over and landed in the like a wash," he recalled.

"Luckily, there were other people riding with me, and they were able to get me up, get me out."

While Taylor remembered Torres having a dislocated shoulder, he clarified, "I broke my collarbone."

As for the episode scheduled for that time, Torres noted it was "an episode I was fairly prominent in," explaining, "So, she was me," referring to Taylor, adding, "That was my favorite."

Taylor admitted, "I don't remember it at all, but Joe remembers it [because] it made no sense that I was the one who was suddenly put into that episode. But I forgot about that injury, I really forgot about that."

David Lascher, who costarred on the show and is Taylor's cohost on Hey Dude... The 90's Called! podcast, joked, "Christine wanted that storyline really bad."

Leaning into the joke, Taylor laughed, adding, "I knew some local guys that may have messed with your brakes."

Torres laughed, noting, "I would not put it past..."

"Sweet Melody," Taylor finished the thought.

Hey Dude premiered on Nickelodeon in July 1989 and ran for five seasons until Aug. 1991. Each season took place over the summer and dealt with coming-of-age issues like friends and romance, while also spotlighting ranch life.

The reunion will be available in full for listeners who couldn't make the live stream as an episode of Hey Dude... The 90's Called! in the coming weeks.

REUNITED! Drake Bell on Touring, Fatherhood & Life After Nickelodeon | Josh Peck

REUNITED! Drake Bell on Touring, Fatherhood & Life After Nickelodeon | Josh Peck

Oh boy, do we have a treat for you this week. Drake Bell is back on the show and immediately thrown into the madness: Josh’s flu-voice, Ben’s missing a*s (as confirmed by Zepbound), and a deeply emotional discussion about… toddler pooping anxiety. We catch up on Drake’s wild year - 91 shows, 150 flights, Latin America tours, dad life in Florida, Minions Land obsessions - and Drake tells the full story of the absolutely deranged reality show that made him dive off a 33-foot platform and burst his eardrum. We also get into parenting philosophies, routines, gambling responsibly (we think), dermatology fears, how becoming fathers changed everything, and whether the trio has officially entered their “unc” era. It’s nostalgic, hilarious, heartfelt, and exactly the kind of episode fans loved the last time Drake joined the show.

Chapters

Kenan Thompson and Kel Mitchell Set to Reunite and Star in Horror Comedy ‘Kenan & Kel Meet Frankenstein’

Nickelodeon legends Kenan Thompson and Kel Mitchell are teaming up once again for a horror comedy film that will pit the pair against an iconic monster.

Thompson and Mitchell will star in and produce the film Kenan & Kel Meet Frankenstein. The announcement was made during the Amazon sports talk show Good Sports, which Thompson typically co-hosts with Kevin Hart, though Mitchell was filling in as guest host. The full clip can be seen below.

The film will begin production this summer. Per the official logline, the story follows “two delivery drivers whose routine drop-off takes a terrifying turn when they arrive at a creepy, out-of-place castle and accidentally awaken Frankenstein’s monster — turning an ordinary night into a fight for survival.”

However, this will not be Thompson and Mitchell’s first horror comedy together. They also starred in the Nickelodeon made-for-TV movie “Two Heads Are Better Than None,” which aired as a finale movie for their beloved sitcom, Kenan & Kel.

“Kel and I have always loved finding new ways to work together, and this project felt like the perfect mix of nostalgia, comedy, and something completely unexpected,” said Thompson. “We’re excited to bring a fresh take on a classic monster story and have some fun doing it.”

“Coming back together always feels natural, and this lets us tap into everything people love about our dynamic while trying something totally new,” Mitchell added. “It’s funny, it’s scary, and it’s a great ride.”

This marks the comedy duo’s first announced joint project since they reunited for Good Burger 2 in 2023. At that time, they teased that they were planning to keep collaborating moving forward. Thompson and Mitchell first met when they were both cast members on the Nickelodeon sketch comedy series All That, from which Good Burger originated. Along with the success of the first film, the duo worked together for four seasons on Kenan & Kel. Thompson is currently the longest-serving cast member of Saturday Night Live, while Mitchell recently featured in the Nickelodeon reality series Play It Forward: Game On.

Jonah Feingold (At Midnight, 31 Candles) will write the screenplay for the new film. Thompson and John Ryan Jr.’s Artists for Artists will co-produce with Range Media Partners. Ryan Jr.,, Brian Kavanaugh-Jones, and Carter Swan will produce alongside Thompson and Mitchell, with Will Hariton, Azim Spicer, and Monica Weber executive producing.

“First it was Abbott and Costello, then Pryor and Wilder. Kenan and Kel,” said Ryan Jr. “Think Shaun of the Dead meets Scooby-Doo.”

Range Media will handle sales, led by Brian Kavanaugh-Jones and Pete Micelli. Thompson and Ryan Jr. are represented by Range Media Partners; Mitchell by Innovative Artists, Untitled Entertainment, and Mark S. Temple; and Feingold by UTA, Untitled, and Johnson Shapiro Slewett & Kole.

Everybody Loves Raymond: 30th Anniversary Reunion - Behind the Scenes - CBS Lake Charles

CBS presents EVERYBODY LOVES RAYMOND: 30TH ANNIVERSARY REUNION, a new entertainment special celebrating the legacy of the hit comedy, to be broadcast Monday, Nov. 24 (7:00-8:30 PM, CT) on the CBS Television Network and streaming on Paramount+.*

From E! News:

How Everybody Loves Raymond Honored Late Child Star Sawyer Sweeten During Reunion

Ray Romano, Patricia Heaton and more Everybody Loves Raymond alums reunited to celebrate the show’s 30th anniversary, where they paid tribute to their late costars, including Sawyer Sweeten.

Content warning: This story discusses suicide.

It was a bittersweet Everybody Loves Raymond reunion.

For the show's 30th anniversary, stars Ray Romano, Patricia Heaton, Brad Garrett as well as former child stars Madylin Sweeten and Sullivan Sweeten came together to reminisce about the show and its legacy. Still, they took a moment to pay tribute to their costars, including Madylin and Sullivan’s onscreen and real-life brother Sawyer Sweeten, who died by suicide at 19 in 2015.

"So Sawyer, of course, is no longer with us, and we miss him," Ray said during the Nov. 24 CBS reunion, special before turning to Sawyer’s sister and twin brother. "And he was, just like you are, just this bright energy, light."

Sawyer’s siblings—who played Ray and Debra’s kids Ally and Michael opposite his Geoffrey—went on to reflect on the difficult time surrounding his death.

"None of us really expected what happened," Sullivan, 30, explained. "But I try to think about the good moments and oftentimes, that's here on the set."

Those good moments included, "Playing in the bleachers and the prop room," Sullivan recalled. "I'm a sucker for a happy ending, and the final scene with everybody gathered around the table has got to be my favorite memory."

And for Madylin, 34, it was important to highlight the importance of suicide prevention when talking about Sawyer and his life.

"It is the second leading cause of death between the ages of 18 to 25. But 90 percent of people who seek treatment are cured," she emphasized. "And so many of the messages that we get are people saying, 'I'm so grateful to have heard about your brother. He saved my life.'"

In addition to remembering Sawyer, the Everybody Loves Raymond cast also took time to celebrate the legacy of late cast members Doris Roberts and Peter Boyle, who played Ray's parents Marie and Frank Barone.

Patricia, who played Ray's wife Debra Barone, remembered her onscreen mother-in-law's strong work ethic.

"Never stopped working," she noted, "on hiatuses, always working."

Meanwhile, Ray noted that Doris—who died in 2016 at age 90—also spent time "taking acting classes," to which Patricia added, "and directing plays." 

As for Peter, according to Ray, his onscreen dad—who died in 2006 at age 71—was "pretty much the opposite" and more of "a kind of Renaissance man."

One detail they can all agree on? There won't be a reboot of Everybody Loves Raymond.

"We're never gonna do one, because we're missing three cast members, three family members," Ray explained. "So we would never try to do the show without them."

Series creator Phil Rosenthal agreed that a reboot wouldn't be the same, adding that the show continues to live on in reruns.

"We have too much respect for the show itself and for the beautiful audience," he noted, "to keep it the way it is."

After all, the original Everybody Loves Raymond also serves as a tribute to the entire cast.

"Ninety percent of everything you saw on the show happened to me, or to Ray, or to one of the other writers," Phil said. "What I didn't realize, and what I learned from us doing that [was], ‘Oh, wait, your parents are all crazy too.'"

Drake Bell and Josh Peck Reunite for the First Time Since 'Quiet on Set' Documentary: 'Completely Eye-Opening'

Drake Bell and Josh Peck, who starred together in hit Nickelodeon comedy series Drake & Josh, are reuniting for the first time since the documentary Quiet on Set: The Dark Side of Kids TV premiered in spring 2024 on Investigation Discovery/Max to talk about their time on the show, their lives as child stardom and the bombshells the documentary revealed. 

In a preview of the March 24 episode of Josh's Good Guys podcast shared by People, which he hosts alongside Ben Soffer, Josh and Bell opened up about their time working together on Drake & Josh and what it was like to be Nickelodeon child stars. 

Drake and Josh and Ben (Part 1) | Josh Peck

Today, we’re sitting down with Drake Bell for the first time in nearly 20 years to have the conversation we never had. In Part 1, we revisit our time filming Drake & Josh, reflect on the laughs, the magic, and the darker moments that were never spoken aloud.

We talk about what it was like growing up on set, the complicated truth of our friendship, and how trauma, misunderstanding, and silence shaped the years that followed. Drake opens up about what he endured behind the scenes and how that experience impacted our relationship, the show, and his life.

We’re proud to share this episode with you. And stay tuned for Part 2.

Soffer, 32, and producer Olivia Meade spoke on the podcast about the “completely eye-opening” experience of watching Quiet on Set. Soffer said it “never at all clicked” that Josh and Bell, both 38, were also kids.

“You're not an adult, but you're being treated like an adult and you're with adults,” Soffer said. Meade added, “I can’t imagine losing those formative years, or giving such responsibility and pressure at that age when you are just beginning to figure out bits and pieces of who you are and how you interact with other people.”

Josh said it’s complicated because the show is beloved by fans who grew up watching it but was hard for him to go through. He explained, “You know what the show means to everyone. You know that the moments that were great were great, and we were incredibly lucky to get to do this thing that we loved.”

“But there's also the truth of everything you went through and everything that was an experience for a kid that was unacceptable in so many ways and you’ve got to wrestle with this,” he said. “I remember people would ask me about the show, and I would say, ‘Well, I lost a hundred pounds and had to get sober at 21. Did I seem happy?’ Like, it’s a bit of a sign."

Drake & Josh premiered in 2004 and ran for four seasons on Nickelodeon. Bell and Josh played stepbrothers (who shared the same first names as the actors playing them), with Miranda Cosgrove as Drake’s younger sister. Before the show, Josh and Bell also starred together on the network's The Amanda Show alongside Amanda Bynes.

In Quiet on Set, Bell talked about being sexually assaulted by Nickelodeon dialogue coach Brian Peck (no relation to Josh) when he was 15. Brian pleaded no contest to a charge of oral copulation with a minor under 16 and performing a lewd act with a 14- or 15-year-old in connection with the case. He was sentenced to 16 months in prison and was mandated to register as a sex offender. At the time, Bell was not revealed as his victim.

Speaking to People on March 17, Bell revealed that the documentary airing was “a really nice weight lifted.” 

“It's a roller coaster of emotions,” he said. “I don't want to sugarcoat it and make the message, ‘Hey, all you got to do is just tell somebody and get your story out and when you wake up the next day, it's going to be gone and everything's going to be fine and you're going to walk through life without any pain or sorrow or sadness!’ It's always going to be there, but it's a lot nicer getting support.”

The new episode of Good Guys premieres Monday, March 24. The second half of Bell’s interview will appear in the Thursday, March 27, episode.

If you or someone you know has been sexually assaulted, please contact the National Sexual Assault Hotline at 1-800-656-HOPE (4673) or go to rainn.org.

If you or someone you know is struggling with substance abuse, please contact the SAMHSA helpline at 1-800-662-HELP.

Drake and Josh and Ben (Part 2) | Josh Peck

In Part 2 of our sit-down with Drake Bell, we pick up right where we left off—unpacking everything that came after the show ended. From personal regrets to private reconciliations, we reflect on the years apart, the moments that shaped us, and how we finally found our way back to friendship.

We talk openly about what drove us apart and what’s bringing us back together. Drake shares unbelievable stories—playing a private concert in Switzerland for eight kids, becoming a children’s menu icon in Mexico, and his surreal trip to Brunei with Pamela Anderson. But he also opens up about the real stuff: going to rehab, becoming a father, learning to survive—and then choosing to live fully.

We revisit our shared past with fresh perspective and a whole lot more grace. It’s funny, it’s heartbreaking, it’s hopeful—and it’s the closure we didn’t know we needed.

We love this episode. We love Drake. And we hope you feel the love too.
