‘Ned’s Declassified’ Stars Apologize for Joking About ‘Quiet on Set’ Documentary: ‘I Hate That We Compounded Any Trauma’

Jack Dunn Devon Werkheiser, Lindsey Shaw and Daniel Curtis Lee, the stars of mid-aughts sitcom “Ned’s Declassified School Survival Guide,” have apologized for joking about the new documentary “Quiet on Set: The Dark Side of Kids TV,” which features allegations by former child stars detailing widespread abuse at Nickelodeon, in particular involving producer Dan Schneider. “Earlier this week we were on TikTok Live being asked to comment on the ‘Quiet on Set’ documentary which we hadn’t seen, and a super shit joke came out that was referenced at Daniel and looked like I was talking about Drake and it all overlaps.

We fucked up, I get it,” Werkheiser said, speaking on a new episode of the trio’s podcast “Ned’s Declassified Podcast Survival Guide. “Now having seen the documentary, it’s so disturbing.

Now we’ve watched it, I get it. If I had just watched, especially that third episode, and then watched us joking like that, I would be like ‘Are they sociopaths?

Is something wrong with them?’” Earlier in the week, Werkheiser had gone on a TikTok Live with Lee and Shaw and adlibbed a joke, saying “Give my your holes.” The line drew criticism, including from fellow Nickelodeon star Drake Bell, who was featured in the documentary.
