Former Nickelodeon star Josh Peck revealed on the 'Dear Media' podcast that he was high during some of the filming of 'Drake and Josh'. This revelation follows the release of the documentary 'Quiet on Set: The Dark Side of Kid’s TV,' in which Peck's co-star Drake Bell shared his own painful experience with a Nickelodeon employee at age 15. Bell mentioned that Peck reached out to him supportively after the documentary aired. Peck, who has been sober for 16 years, humorously recounted his struggles with substance abuse on the 'Good Boys' podcast, where he and guest Ms Pat joked about his altered state during the later seasons of 'Drake and Josh'. Fans responded with a mix of shock, amusement, and appreciation for Peck's candidness.
