Nickelodeon fans — get ready to take a walk down memory lane.
Drake Bell is firmly in is nostalgia era and fans are loving every second of it. Fresh off a “Drake & Josh” mini reunion in Las Vegas, he kept the throwbacks coming with a surprise link up with another Nickelodeon star from the 90s on the show’s iconic set before it gets torn down.
Bell shared a few videos on social media that sent longtime viewers into a nostalgic frenzy. Between the unexpected reunions and the viral moments, it’s a full-circle vibe that’s hitting many right in their childhood memories.
Drake Bell Reunited With Josh Peck In Sin City Recently
About a week ago, Josh Peck, the other half of the infamous “Drake & Josh,” shared a photo on Instagram that instantly grabbed attention. Simply captioned, “Dads,” the photo is of Peck with Bell posing in the Poodle Room at the Fontainebleau in Las Vegas. It didn’t take long for the likes to start popping up and nostalgia to fill the comment section.
The Fontainebleau wrote what we were all thinking, “The reunion we needed.” M Resort, also in Las Vegas, simply said, “Reuniteddd.”
One viewer said, “We can achieve world peace.” Another person added, “Yoo throwback to my childhood! Just missing Megan here.” And one other shared, “Hug me brothers.” One viewer let the nostalgia get the best of the situation saying, “Ages 12-15 these dudes carried my life.”
There were also requests to do another show together.
“PLEASE MAKE A NEW SHOW WHERE Y’ALL ARE THE DADS!” one person wrote. Another added, “If Hannah Montana can do it, our brothas can do it.” Another viewer said, “We don’t even need a whole show a 30-minute special would suffice in my heart.”
‘I Got Into Nick On Sunset’
Bell did an Instagram Live with another walk down memory lane for fans. And this Live happened just before he was heading to Vegas (where we now know he spent some time with Peck.)
“All the same. This is the same paint. This was all a big raised stage,” Bell said before he explained where he was at. “You’re not gonna believe this. I just got into Nick on Sunset. It’s completely shut down. They’re tearing this place down, and I got in, and here I am.”
He then panned over to where the “Drake & Josh” bedroom and living room sets were at while filming, as well as the green room and other well-known spots from the hit Nickelodeon show.
Bell then told a fun nostalgic story. You could hear it in his voice that he was really going back to relive some good times.
“You know that picture that I have of Josh and I have like a cigarette, and I ask someone for a cigarette. I thought it would be funny because it says, ‘No Smoking,’ so I was like ‘hey, give me a cigarette,’” he said. “And I just have like a cigarette in my hand, but yeah dude, the ‘No Smoking’ sign’s right there from the picture, dude.”
Drake Bell Said ‘It Feels Like Yesterday’
When reminded how many years ago it was, Bell said, “it feels like yesterday” and “it feels like we’re on hiatus and they’re gonna bring all the sets back and everything’s gonna be built, and we’re gonna start in September.”
Bell continued to walk around the set, sharing which part of the “Drake & Josh” rooms they are in. He got super excited when he realized he was in their old bedroom.
“This is where I climb up the ladder,” he reminisced. “The bed is like a little further back. Red couch is right here.”
He said “the hairs are raising off” as he showed his arm and said, “I can’t even talk.” His tour continued with him visibly going back to a time that has so many nostalgic memories for him.
Bell said that while he was in LA, he thought he would try to get inside Nick on Sunset and was surprised that he was able to. He shared stories about his time on that set and was clearly blown away with the memories that surfaced.
After walking through the building, he said, “I don’t want to leave.” He then instantly gasped when he stumbled into the casting office and sharing that “it’s the same.”
“This is where you would audition if you audition for ‘Drake & Josh,’” he shockingly said. “This is unreal.”
As he continued to search around his old stomping ground where his career really took off so many years ago, you could see just how this little tour was affecting him in his feels.
“I’m out of breath. This is unbelievable. This is all my childhood,” he said. “This is all my memories.”
His Instagram Live that can now be viewed on his IG page as a post, continued with more memories and more inside stories about Bell’s time on the show.
During the Live, he called his TV dad, Jonathan Goldstein, which brought even more nostalgia and memories for not only Bell but also for the fans watching.
Fans Had A Lot To Say About Drake Bell’s Walk Down Memory Lane
Bell’s Live captured tons of attention from fans who loved seeing him walk down the “Drake & Josh” memory lane and with so much enthusiasm and love.
“So cool. Love how excited you are,” one fan wrote. Another said, “How heartbreaking and beautiful for you. What a healing experience!!!! You’re the best.”
And there were many other comments that shared the same vibe.
“Thanks for saving the live and sharing the enthusiasm,” one viewer said. Another wrote, “Love how him and Jonathan actually have a father/son relationship.” One other shared, “FULL CIRCLE MOMENT.”
Cue One More Nostalgic Moment
As if that all wasn’t enough to send 90s Nickelodeon fans into a total frenzy, Bell shared a TikTok video to top it off.
“Wow I thought this place was torn down! This is where we shot it all! Nick On Sunset! We were walking by and never thought that it’d be so simple to get in but we found a way!” he captioned the video set to his hit song, “Found a Way.”
But that’s not all – there’s a special guest in the video with Bell that had everyone in their feels. The video was filmed on the old set at Nick on Sunset with another beloved Nick star.
“First: I will never not support Drake Bell. Second: IS THAT VICTORIA JUSTICE?” one fan wrote in the comments. Another said, “Drake and Victoria?!!” And one other wrote, “Blessed by the Nickelodeon legends.”
The same video was also shared on Bell’s IG page, where fans also had the same excitement for the duo reuniting.
“Drake and Victoria? I love everything about this,” one person wrote. Another said, “We want them to do a musical collaboration!!! Drake Bell ft. Victoria Justice.” One other viewer shared something many were likely thinking, “The crossover we didn’t know we needed. This heals me.”
