Keke Palmer and her mom are remembering her time at Nickelodeon and have some thoughts on Dan Schneider. On the latest episode of Baby, This Is Keke Palmer, Palmer and her mother, Sharon, discussed their thoughts about the former Nickelodeon executive. “I honestly do remember you having a lot to say about the Dan Schneider sets,” Palmer said on the podcast. “I remember you feeling a way about Nickelodeon.” Palmer’s mom said, “My honest opinion is I thought the whole atmosphere of the Dan Schneider set was very weird, very cultish.
