46 free iCarly trivia questions with answers. iCarly turned a Seattle loft into the most famous web show that never existed. This iCarly trivia quiz covers the Nickelodeon original from 2007 to 2012 and the Paramount+ revival: Carly, Sam, Freddie, Spencer and Gibby, Bushwell Plaza and the Groovy Smoothie, Nevel and Lewbert, Mrs. Benson, the taco truck in iSaved Your Life, the Italy goodbye, and how Sam rode off into Sam & Cat. There are questions about the theme song with Drake Bell, Dan Schneider's scrapped original idea, the episode-title 'i', the record ratings, the iParty with Victorious crossover, and the cast's lives since, from Miranda Cosgrove's Despicable Me role to Jennette McCurdy's memoir and Nathan Kress voicing a Star Wars pilot.

Every answer has been checked against the show's documented history and carries a linked source, so it holds up for a nostalgic sleepover, a trivia night or a group chat argument about Creddie versus Seddie.
