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.
