Dudes, what's up? CBR TV has unveiled the first part of their fantastic interview with Jim Dirschberger and Jay Howell, the co-creators of Nickelodeon's Emmy-nominated original animated series (NickToon) "Sanjay and Craig", and Maulik Pancholy, the voice of Sanjay!:
"Sanjay & Craig" Star & Creators Deliver "More Heart, Less Fart"
In the first part of the conversation, recorded at Comic-Con International: San Diego 2015, Maulik, Jim and Jay discuss where they find inspiration for the show's absurdist comedy, and how they impart messages that will be relevant to kids while not being preachy. They also talk about working with Will McRobb and Chris Viscardi, the creators of "The Adventures of Pete and Pete", how that collaboration helped shape the tone of the series, and the odd process of animation, in which each part of the process is slightly separate from every other, including the voice actors from each other!
"Sanjay and Craig" Creators Explain Why Diversity is Not An Issue
In the second part of the conversation with CBR TV from Comic-Con International 2015, "Sanjay and Craig" creators Jim Dirschberger and Jay Howell and star Maulik Pancholy discuss the fact that a character of Indian descent, and his family, are front and center in the show, as well as why the issue of diversity is both an important thing for television and why there's not some kind of agenda attached to it. Following that, they discuss what fans can expect from the third, totally absurd season of the show when it airs on Nickelodeon later this year!
Fans can catch brand-new episodes of "Sanjay and Craig" every Friday at 8:15pm ET/PT, only on Nickelodeon USA!

NEW YORK – Sept. 15, 2015 – Nickelodeon's Blaze and the Monster Machines heats up with special guest Joe Manganiello (True Blood) as the voice of the Fire Chief in "Fired Up!" premiering Friday, Sept. 25, at 12 p.m. (ET/PT). As commander of Axle City's firefighting brigade, the Fire Chief tackles the toughest emergencies with authority and thinks Blaze may have what it takes to be a firefighter. Blaze and the Monster Machines follows the adventures of the amazing monster truck Blaze and his eight-year-old driver AJ, and it's the first preschool show on TV to comprehensively cover all areas of STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Math) in every episode. Blaze and the Monster Machines currently ranks as the number-one preschool show in its time period on all TV, and airs regularly weekdays at 8:30 a.m. and 1:30 p.m. (ET/PT) on Nickelodeon.
In "Fired Up!," Blaze smells smoke at Axle City's garage, so he calmly and courageously leads his friends outside to safety. The Fire Chief is impressed with Blaze and encourages him to work hard to earn his firefighter badge and join his team. Blaze and AJ set out on a series of thrilling adventures to avert disaster in Axle City.
NickJr.com and the Nick Jr. App will feature exclusive content including a first-look at "Fired Up!" beginning Friday, Sept. 18, and a special video that highlights fire trucks and firefighters across Nick Jr.'s hit series beginning Monday, Sept. 21.

The first mobile app based on the series, Blaze and the Monster Machines, recently launched a Dragon Island update that propelled the app to number-one on the Kids and Education chart and the Top 10 overall with iPad Paid Apps.

The complete introductory line includes diecast vehicles, talking vehicles, Slam & Go, playsets and more that bring the fun and dynamic characters featured in the series to life. Nickelodeon will expand the Blaze license into new categories this fall to include games and puzzles, consumer electronics, outdoor sports and inflatable play structures.
In Blaze and the Monster Machines, the amazing monster truck Blaze and his eight-year-old driver AJ have adventures that explore the physics of how things move; tackle problems through scientific inquiry and mathematics; and discover the parts needed to make everyday technologies work. Each action-packed episode is filled with monster trucks, physical humor and upbeat original songs with lyrics that highlight a STEM concept such as adhesion, friction, force, trajectory and magnetism. Blaze and the Monster Machines is created by Jeff Borkin (Team Umizoomi head writer) and Ellen Martin (Bubble Guppies supervising producer).
Nickelodeon, now in its 36th year, is the number-one entertainment brand for kids. It has built a diverse, global business by putting kids first in everything it does.
