Yvette Nicole Brown Loves Her 'Drake & Josh' Character, Too

Fingers crossed for a reboot!


Over a decade after the show aired on Nickelodeon, Yvette Nicole Brown discussed her Drake & Josh character Helen, saying that she loves how fans still approach her about the role. On Sunday, Brown opened up about appearing on the beloved sitcom during an episode of PeopleTV's Couch Surfing, noting the enduring appeal of Helen DuBois, who was the tough-talking manager of the Premiere movie theater brothers Drake Parker (Drake Bell) and Josh Nichols (Josh Peck) worked. Helen adored Drake and disliked Josh, despite the latter being considerably better at the job. Even so, Helen, a former child star, also became a reliable confidant when either character was stuck in a difficult situation.

On Sunday, Brown noted that it's fun to be a part of a show many fans consider emblematic of their childhoods, saying, "They're babies who just grew up watching our foolishness, which means a lot to me because I grew up watching Cosby Show and A Different World and Facts of Life." She added: "To be on a show that kids watch and enjoy in the same way I watched and enjoyed those shows is just amazing to me. I can't believe it."

Brown did note that Helen, though memorable, might not have been on the show quite as often as fans remember. Drake & Josh premiered on Nickelodeon in 2004 and wrapped in 2007, and Helen was only a recurring character on the series for about three of the four seasons. "I did about half of the run, but people think I was on more than I was because Helen was such an amazing character," the actor said. She also revealed that creator Dan Schneider wrote the character specifically for her, which made her time on the show even more memorable.

"I did about half of the run, but people think I was on more than I was because Helen was such an amazing character that [creator] Dan Schneider wrote for me so it was pretty cool," Brown tells host Lola Ogunnaike.

Drake & Josh fans have urged the cast to reunite, and last year, Bell and Peck hinted that a reboot might be in the works, as per People. In March of 2019, Bell promised the new project was, "going to be way more creative, way cooler than just you know the college years or something like that," and that any potential new show would "be more adult and really funny."

We might be able to hear "That is not my job!" at least one more time.


There's no word yet on whether or not Brown would join the cast, especially as the star has been busy in recent years, appearing in popular series such as Dear White People, A Black Lady Sketch Show, and Crossing Swords. She's also been a co-host on various talk shows, including The View, The Talk, and The Real. Yet given her fond memories of the show, Brown, who recently reprised her role of Shirley in a Community reunion, might be on board to bring Helen back if a reboot gets off the ground.

Funko Unveils TMNT & Invader ZIM SDCC 2020 Exclusives

COWABUNGA! Funko has announced that, as part of Funko Virtual Con 3.0, the company will be releasing brand new SDCC exclusive vinyl figures inspired by the iconic Nickelodeon properties, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles and Invader ZIM!


There may be no physical Comic-Con International: San Diego event to bring fans together this year, but in an effort to keep the convention spirit alive, Funko will be bringing you San Diego Comic Con® virtually with Funko's third virtual con! Funko Virtual Con 3.0 will take place July 19th - July 25th. The week will be filled with activations, special guests, and more.

Among the SDCC 2020 exclusives unveiled by Funko are vinyl figures inspired by two iconic characters from Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles and Invader ZIM!

For the first reveal, it is surfs up as Michelangelo from Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles has arrived. This is a very well done SDCC exclusive that features the iconic Party Dude turtle in some pepperoni pizza swim trunks. He is holding a surfboard that says his catchphrase "Cowabunga" and has the San Diego Comic Con logo at the bottom. This radical Funko Pop will be a must have collectible for any TMNT fan and will surely be on many fans' hunting lists. The Mikey figure will be available to purchase on the Funko Shop.


Joining Mikey is another fan favorite character: Invader Zim! Based on his Netflix cartoon event Enter the Florpus, Zim is holding onto Minimoose. This was a character that was never explained in the original series as it was canceled and put out of order. While Enter the Florpus gave us some clues, this Pop will be a must have for any Invader Zim fans. The Invader ZIM figure will be available to buy at Entertainment Earth.


With SDCC canceled and shuffled to a @Home event, this will most likely lead to all SDCC 2020 Pop exclusives going to their FunkoShop. Of course, there will also be retailer exclusives so stay tuned here to find out where these exclusives will be heading.

Watch as Funko Unveils New Pops!, Toys and Games During Comic-Con@Home Panel

New product sneak peeks, celebrity shout outs, special first-time un-boxings, and more went down during Funko's Comic-Con@Home panel.

Comic-Con@Home is coming to a close and Funko decided to go out with a bang. The virtual event has been interesting, to say the least, but the weekend has kept the spirit of the annual event alive, which many did not think was going to be possible. As for Funko, they announced their SDCC exclusive Pop! figures on Friday, with many of them selling out within minutes. With that being said, there are still plenty available at the various shops. On the opposite side of the spectrum, the panel announced a whole lot of new toys that will be available in the near future.


Funko started off their Comic-Con@Home panel by announcing the brand-new McDonald's collection. Officer Mac, Ronald McDonald, Grimace, Mayor McCheese, Hamburglar, and more are going to be heading to stores soon. A new Disney collection was also announced, though horror fans are probably more excited about the upcoming Elvira Pop! A Back to the Future and tabletop game was revealed, along with another game based on the Avengers, which should make some MCU fans very happy. Flash Gordon, G.I. Joe, the Monopoly Man, and Clue were also revealed, along with some new clothing and their signature Soda miniatures, which will feature rock band KISS.

Entertainment Earth's DC Comics Ra's al Ghul and Invader Zim with Minimoose SDCC 2020 Funko Pop exclusives are some of the coolest Pops and they are highly sought after right now.

Leader of the League of Assassins, Ra's al Ghul is stepping out of the shadows of the rogues gallery and into the Funko spotlight, while Invader Zim with Minimoose Pop is shouting, "Victory is yours, puny earth human!" From the Nickelodeon series created by comic book writer and cartoonist Jhonen Vasquez, Zim looks more cute than intimidating holding Minimoose.

The following Comic-Con@Home Pop! figures are available on the official Funko site, though many have already sold out. Ad Icons 100 Jack in the Box (in disguise), Ad Icons 102 Toucan SDCC, Ad Icons 103 Toucan Astronaut SDCC, Anchorman 946 Ron with Baxter, 947 Ron Burgundy with Jazz Flute, 948 Ron Burgundy with Cup, 949 Brian Fantana Scented, 950 Brick Tamland, Harry Potter 120 Harry at World Cup, Heroes 344 Black Lightning, Pokemon 581 Mewtwo Flocked, Scott Pilgrim 944 Wallace Well, TMNT 1019 Michelangelo with Surfboard.

Are you ready kids? Get ready for an underwater adventure with SpongeBob Spot it from USAOPOLY!


Spot It! is a multi-award winning pattern recognition game that launched in 2010 to universal acclaim.

Featuring images of all your Bikini Bottom friends including SpongeBob, Patrick, Squidward, the Krabby Patty, Gary and many more.
