50 free Drake & Josh trivia questions with answers — entertainment quiz, new questions added Aug 2026.
46 free Drake & Josh trivia questions with answers. Drake & Josh ran for 56 episodes on Nickelodeon between 2004 and 2007 and is still quoted daily by everyone who grew up on it. This quiz covers the show from the shrimp sketch that spawned it to the revival that never happened: the San Diego stepbrothers, Megan's pranks, Audrey and Walter, the Premiere theater, Helen, Crazy Steve, Mindy Crenshaw, Craig and Eric, Mrs. Hayfer, and the mother's job Dan Schneider refused to reveal. There are questions on the two movies (Megan's wrong flight, TRL, Tony Hawk's Viper, Mary Alice and Bludge), the theme song that was almost a Lenny Kravitz track, the car crash that halted season four, the Kids' Choice Awards, and what Drake Bell, Josh Peck, Miranda Cosgrove, Jerry Trainor and Yvette Nicole Brown did next. Easy questions suit anyone who watched even casually; harder ones reward the fans who can quote Really Big Shrimp. Every answer was checked against Wikipedia's articles on the series, its films and its cast, and the source line appears under each question after you answer.
