'America's Funniest Pets' - Could Nickelodeon Be Producing a New Reality Series for Pets?

Nickelodeon could be in the midst of producing a brand new reality series for pets!

Currently titled America's Funniest Pets, the show is billed as "a hilarious new pet variety show from a major kids network!" that aims to put "you and your pet center stage"!

Whilst its currently unconfirmed that America's Funniest Pets is being made for Nickelodeon, there are a lot of suggestions from the casting call that suggests that it will be a Nickelodeon show.

In addition to the aforementioned "from a major kids network", the audition post for reveals that America's Funniest Pets is being produced by Fremantle, who have previously teamed up with Nickelodeon for the network's Double Dare revival. The production company also produces America's Got Talent.

While simply mentioning that America's Funniest Pets is "from the producers of of Double Dare and America's Got Talent" confirms that the show is for Nick, there is another clue that it is a Nick show: the format. Unveiled last year, a big part of Nickelodeon's new content output is programming that focuses on co-viewing amongst kids and parents, which has included the reimagined Are You Smarter Than A 5th Grader, musical reality competition series America's Most Musical Family and revival of the network's iconic All That sketch series, and upcoming new British family game show The Crystal Maze, premiering Friday, January 24, at 7:00 p.m. on Nickelodeon USA.

One final clue that America's Funniest Pets will be a Nickelodeon show is that MysticArt Pictures is handling casting for the series. MysticArt Pictures previously produced Paradise Run for Nickelodeon.

America's Funniest Pets is currently being shot in Los Angeles, California, and is slated to wrap in February 2020.

Below is MysticArt Pictures' official casting call for America's Funniest Pets in full!:

ViacomCBS Networks International Reorganizes Core Leadership Team

ViacomCBS Networks International Reorganizes Core Leadership Team

New Simplified Management Structure Designed to Maximize Growth

Brand Leadership Streamlined Under Kerry Taylor and Jules Borkent

Expanded Pan-Regional Roles for Maria Kyriacou and Raffaele Annecchino

New York and London, January 14, 2020: ViacomCBS Inc. (NASDAQ: VIACA, VIAC) has unveiled a management restructure of its international networks division, which is intended to leverage the company’s expanded operations post-merger to drive new growth opportunities across brands in key international markets. The reorganization will simplify ViacomCBS Networks International into two brand groups and three pan-regional management hubs, reporting to David Lynn, President & CEO of ViacomCBS Networks International (VCNI).

VCNI Brand Leadership:

Kerry Taylor, currently Executive Vice President of MTV International and Chief Marketing Officer for VCNI UK has been promoted to Executive Vice President of VCNI Entertainment & Youth Brands reporting to David Lynn and Chris McCarthy, President of Entertainment & Youth Brands, ViacomCBS Domestic Media Networks. Taylor’s new remit will include international oversight of MTV, Comedy Central, Paramount Network and BET. Taylor has been with MTV International since 2007 and has been co-head of MTV International since 2012. Taylor is credited with reinventing the MTV international brand positioning, developing a successful global franchise strategy and commissioning content that drove international ratings success such as Geordie Shore, The Charlotte Show; Ex on The Beach and Just Tattoo of Us.

Taylor will continue to work closely with Bruce Gillmer, Executive Vice President, Music, Music & Talent programming/Events ViacomCBS. Jill Offman who previously led Comedy Central and Paramount network internationally will be dedicated to the international studio business, as Executive Vice President of ViacomCBS International Studios UK.

Jules Borkent has been promoted to Executive Vice President, VCNI Kids & Family, reporting to David Lynn and Brian Robbins, President, Kids & Family Entertainment, ViacomCBS Domestic Media Networks. Borkent has been with Nickelodeon since 2001, having led channel operations and content strategy including programming, acquisitions, originals and digital for Nickelodeon International, which has delivered continued growth during his tenure. Working in close alignment with Nickelodeon US, Borkent established the international programming council and manages a multi-million-dollar content investment across kids & family programming.

Lynn commented, “Kerry and Jules are exceptional creative and strategic professionals. Kerry brings equal parts marketing acumen and a genuine connection to the global youth zeitgeist which has driven MTV’s successful international franchise strategy and ratings success. Jules is a respected industry voice, who’s dedicated to bringing unique and diverse content to Nickelodeon audiences around the world.”

Lynn added, “Consolidating our international flagship brands into two groups will simplify our structure and more closely align our business with ViacomCBS’ U.S. brands, enabling us to share more content and resources across our different brands and extract maximum value from our content investment and libraries.”

VCNI Pan-Regional Leadership:

Maria Kyriacou, who most recently was President of International for ITV Studios, will now join the newly expanded division on February 3, 2020 with a new brief as President, ViacomCBS Networks UK & Australia, which includes responsibility for Ireland, New Zealand and Israel. With focused oversight of ViacomCBS’s operations in its two most valuable international markets, including its free-to-air broadcast networks, Channel 5 and Network 10, Kyriacou will seek content and commercial synergies between the company’s portfolio of networks and streaming services across these English-language markets. Paul Anderson, who is CEO of Network 10, additionally becomes EVP, ViacomCBS Networks Australia and New Zealand with immediate effect, reporting to Kyriacou.

At the same time, Raffaele Annecchino, who is currently President of the division’s operations across Southern and Western Europe, the Middle East and Africa, will also take on an expanded role in the new structure, with additional responsibility for the company’s operations in Northern and Eastern Europe and key Asian markets. As President, ViacomCBS Networks Europe, Middle East, Africa & Asia (EMEAA), Annecchino will aim to deliver additional growth in European markets through the closer alignment of its operations across the continent as part of an EMEA structure. With a track record of driving market-beating growth from both on-screen and off-screen activities in the markets for which he currently has responsibility, Annecchino will focus on developing scale in the company’s operations in EMEAA in addition to continuing to be responsible for VCNI’s mobile strategy.

JC Acosta will be the third of the division’s senior pan-regional leaders, having recently been promoted to President, ViacomCBS Networks Americas. In this role, Acosta is responsible for the company’s operations across Latin America – including the key markets of Argentina, Brazil and Mexico – as well as in Canada and the US Hispanic market. He is tasked with the ongoing expansion of ViacomCBS’s portfolio of networks, streaming services and associated businesses across the region including: its fast-growing Studios business in the Americas; Argentinian free-to-air broadcast market leader, Telefe; and, digital services including Porta Dos Fundos.

Both Borkent and Acosta succeeded Pierluigi Gazzolo, who prior to his recently announced promotion to President of Studios and OTT for ViacomCBS Networks International was President, VCNI Americas and Executive Vice President of Nickelodeon International. Gazzolo, who also reports to Lynn, assumed his new dedicated role on the 1st of this year and is an integral member of the VCNI leadership team focused on two key growth areas.

David Lynn commented: “ViacomCBS is truly a global leader in terms of the quality, volume and range of content we produce and own and we aim to exploit the incredible pipelines at our disposal to deliver exceptional growth across international markets, not just for ourselves but for our partners as well. With Maria joining and with newly expanded roles for Raffaele, JC , Pier, Kerry and Jules we have an exceptional leadership team in place and a simplified structure that allows us to be more tightly focused on seeking out the most attractive opportunities to license our brands, content and IP in the highest value and fastest growing international markets, with a particular focus on accelerating our streaming strategy.”

As a result of these regional changes, Mark Whitehead, President & Managing Director of VCNI Asia Pacific, will be leaving the company, at the end of January 2020.

Lynn added: “I am extremely grateful for Mark’s many contributions to our ongoing success. He has played the leading role in transforming our operations across Asia to the point where they have just delivered their highest ever rate of annual growth. Mark leaves us excellently positioned in key markets across the region to continue on an exceptional growth trajectory.”

'90s 'All That' Stars Lori Beth Denberg and Danny Tamberelli Team Up for New Digital Series 'The Tonopah Five'

Hey smiling strange, have I got some Vital Information for you!

'90s Nickelodeon stars and former All That cast mates Danny Tamberelli (The Adventures of Pete and Pete, Figure It Out) and Lori Beth Denberg are teaming up again for a brand new digital series titled The Tonopah Five!

In The Tonopah Five, after being released prematurely from her one woman show, Cheri Ann Eisenberg (Denberg), a former 90s TV commercial star best known for being the The Five Fruity Flavors Girl, decides to get back at the small town Nevada theatre that fired her. With her rag-tag team of local misfits, including The Remarkable Randy (Tamberelli)! The first episode is set to be released soon.

Check out the trailer for The Tonopah Five below! (please note that it does contain adult themes and swearing):


This is the first time that Denberg and Tamberelli have appeared on a show together since their Nickelodeon days!

The Tonopah Five is directed by Stefan Colson, written by Bri Azmoudeh, Brandon Cahela and Bradford Dworak, and produced by Bri Azmoudeh, Brandon Cahela, Stefan Colson, Lori Beth Denberg and Bradford Dworak.

The news follows Denberg and Tamberelli recently reuniting to launch Nostalgia Personified: All That Edition, a spin-off from Tamberelli's live show with his former Pete & Pete co-star Michael Maronna, Nostalgia Personified with Nickelodeon’s Pete and Pete!

Billed as "an evening of fun and games with your childhood TV heroes," Nostalgia Personified is an hour-long interactive live show born from the podcast The Adventures of Danny and Mike (featuring now grown TV brothers from Nickelodeon’s The Adventures of Pete and Pete) in which child stars confront their past in the most humorous way possible– trading jabs (and old videos!)

Are You Afraid of the Dark? premieres Friday, October 11, 2019 at 7:00 p.m. (ET/PT) on Nickelodeon!

From Style Weekly:

All That and More

Former Nickelodeon television stars bring a nostalgic live show to Ashland Theatre.

Nickelodeon was different from other kids’ TV networks in the ’90s.

It was edgier, more adult, marked by shows that dared to be weird, gross and subversive. Think of shows like “Salute Your Shorts,” where fart jokes abounded, or “Ren and Stimpy” with its disgustingly hyper-realistic artwork.

Danny Tamberelli, who was a child star in the ’90s on multiple Nickelodeon shows, says it was a special time because network executives let the show runners have complete creative control. “They let the creators be creators,” he says, “and that’s why there were all these crazy shows that really resonated with people.”

“These were not cookie-cutter shows about attractive kids who could sing and dance, who you could put on lunch boxes,” Tamberelli explains. “Instead it was like, shows about the ordinary kid who’s picking his nose and he’s sitting in the back of the room in his mismatched socks, and like, one Nike shoe and one Converse shoe because he got dressed in the dark that morning because he was late.”

These shows have endured, gaining massive and dedicated cult followings and are prompting cast reunions more than 20 years later. It seems the children of the ’90s have quite the appetite for nostalgia as adults.

Nickelodeon seems to have figured that out this year, releasing a “Rocko’s Modern Life,” Netflix special and rebooting “All That,” the ’90s kids sketch comedy show that helped launch countless young careers, including Kenan Thompson, Kel Mitchell and Amanda Bynes.

Tamberelli joined the cast of “All That” in 1997, but he is probably best known for his role as Little Pete in the cult favorite “The Adventures of Pete and Pete.” And he’s no stranger to Nickelodeon fandom. He has been providing ’90s kids with the nostalgia they crave for years, now. Tamberelli plays host to the podcast “The Adventures of Danny and Mike” with Michael C. Maronna, who played Big Pete, his on-screen older brother. The podcast was so well-received that it led him to create “Nostalgia Personified,” a live show that brings fans and creators together for an interactive evening of humor, improv, backstage stories and more.

“‘Nostalgia Personified’ is a pretty appropriate description, in that we do show these old ’90s clips on a big screen and it’s kind of gritty, and it takes you back to that moment,’ Tamberelli says. He describes the live show as a combination of a reunion show and “Mystery Science Theater”-style commentary.

On Nov. 20, Richmond audiences have the chance to experience “Nostalgia Personified: All That Edition,” at the newly renovated Ashland Theatre. Tamberelli has called in former “All That” co-star Lori Beth Denberg, whom you may remember for her wacky characters like the Loud Librarian or Miss Fingerly, the eternally frustrated teacher. They’re characters she’s been revisiting lately, as part of the “All That” reboot on Nickelodeon.

“We’re mixing in the old characters with some of the old cast members, and it’s really seamless, there’s still the same vibe” she says. “‘All That’ was just totally wacky, and it was good enough and adult enough and goofy enough and messy enough to hit a lot of different tones that were enjoyed by a lot of different people. I think that’s what carried the show.’

Denberg says she can’t wait to go on tour with “Nostalgia Personified” to reminisce about Nickelodeon’s golden age. She and Tamberelli, who worked together on “All That” as well as the slime-filled Nickelodeon game show “Figure It Out,” have remained friends into adulthood, even working together on a few recent independent film projects.

“We just have a lot of fun together, always,” she says, “and I think that will translate to the audience at the live show. It’ll basically be like, ‘Here’s what it’s like to hang out with Danny and Lori Beth!’ Vital information versus vital information!”

When Denberg left the cast of “All That” in 1998, it was Tamberelli who took over her “Vital Information” sketch, a silly take on the evening news. “I was terrified to take it over,” Tamberelli says. “It was Lori Beth’s thing and it was perfect the way she did it and I didn’t want to copy her.”

It’s stories like this that make “Nostalgia Personified” such a treat for audiences. “It’s really cool to look back and think of what was happening on the other side of the camera. I think that’s a big part of the appeal of the live show,” Denberg says.

Tamberelli and Denberg will be available for a meet-and-greet before the show and a Q&A at the end. They both agree that it’s important for them to connect with fans personally.

“We’ll be hanging out at the merch table,” Tamberelli says. “I mean, you can’t beat it! If you were a ’90s kid you’ve got to come to the show. It’s important for us, and it’s important for the fans to relive it a little bit.” S

“Nostalgia Personified: All That Edition” comes to the Ashland Theatre on Wednesday, Nov. 20 at 8:30 pm. Tickets cost $20 to $37. nostalgiapersonified.com.
