It has been almost 20 years since Josh Nichols hit his idol, Oprah Winfrey, with his car on Drake & Josh, and fans of the show are still talking about that episode.
Case in point. Bri Morales recently got to ask Oprah Winfrey some questions for her Are You OK? podcast. The six-minute interview took place on the street. So, Bri opened up questions to her audience, and someone wanted to know if she knew about the Nickelodeon show and one of the characters being obsessed with her.
The Queen responded, “I hear that Josh likes me. I don’t even know why Josh likes me…I think that’s the coolest thing. Thanks, Josh!”
Well, when Josh Peck heard that, he immediately shared his reaction on social media. And he reacted just as you would expect him to react to Lady O knowing who he and the show are. His soul immediately left his body and ascended to heaven.
I mean, what is left that could top that for the actor? Even his three kids’ milestones will not compare to that. Not even close.
Oprah freaking Winfrey actually knew about the teenage family sitcom and his character’s obsession with her. How cool is that?
Imagine waiting two decades to find out that a woman as famous as Winfrey knew about your show and your character. And that is why we saw the mind-blown emoji come to life in that moment.
I think we need a Drake & Josh movie, and Oprah needs to do a cameo in it, taking Josh to court for violating the restraining order for the umpteenth time.
