He was decent enough at this with ''[[ICarlyiCarly]]''.. but since ''[[Victorious]]'' aired, he's taken to shilling that show on the iCarly website, his Twitter, poking the casts to constantly tweet about it, fills his blog with 'reminders' that the episodes are airing, and even changes his various avatars/display pictures to shilling the airing dates of the episodes, and takes it all the way it could possibly go by spending the budget and time of three iCarly episodes on a cross-over for ''[[Victorious]]'' where the iCarly cast guest star on their own show by way of heading from their home town of Seattle, to LA where Victorious is set.
