Is This the Most Eerily Prepared Child Star Ever?
I was under the assumption that Disney Channel stars endured the worst It Factor hard-wiring, but Nickelodeon just debunked that with an atomic "It" bomb named Reed Alexander. He's a 15-year-old iCarly actor who fancies himself a Mario Batali for tweens, and he's prepared for a syndication deal. Alexander appeared this morning with Kathie Lee Gifford and Hoda Kotb on Today to talk about making "great make-ahead desserts" that are "so fun for your friends in the summertime." Which is fine! Except that he's the most frightening child you. Have. Ever. Seen.
Please watch the whole thing.
Impressive, I guess! And snappy! And the most ideal Zoom cast member ever. And a little Richard Simmons-y in the gasps.
And possessed.
Should only be a few days before Ellen DeGeneres calls him up and starts a cookbook empire around his name. I imagine the displays at Barnes & Noble are quaking in anticipation of Reed Alexander's claymation stare.

Amazing. Fascinating to watch this kid.
He's either on drugs, or I am. Maybe both.
This child is the ultimate culmination of years of conditioning by American society. We only have ourselves to blame. More terrifying yet, things will only deteriorate from here. Soon a dark impostor to be know only as the 'anti-reed'will appear somewhere in the south, and begin to amass a great army. The battle of end-times is nigh.
Creepy. Maybe he is possessed by carson kressley.
Isn't that Jordy, Will's flamboyant nephew, from "Will and Grace"?
I am so happy to be able to type this considering my brain has melted.
And I thought the days of cocaine on the craft service cart were long gone. Apparently not.
Yes, God help him.
Amazingly unbelievable, and I thought there was only one White Oprah
I think there's a role for him on 'Glee' as Kurt's new boyfriend....Ryan Murphy, have you watched this? I'm so freaked out by this kid I think i need to mainline some vodka.
"I'm afraid not to." HAHAHA! They are fucking terrified of him.
I found exactly one other cooking video of this kid online and its the exact same recipe. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M6nsK_NY5NE
I turned it on a few minutes in so I missed the introduction. I thought he was a lesbian. Seriously.
Kathy Lee: Is it true that you've lost 15 pounds?
Reed: Yes, and I feel super! Thanks for asking!!
That's definitely a transman.
I think he's a riot! Probably a little hyper and somewhat nervous about trying to hold his own (and does admirably) against the bundle of terrifying hyperactivity that is Kathie Lee. Good for him for controlling the segment and keeping her from talking about her kids the whole time. This kid is hilarious and I'd would LOVE to see him on Glee!
