Nickelodeon unites the casts of iCarly and Victorious for the first time ever for an epic 90-minute, primetime TV event, “iParty with Victorious,” on Saturday, June 11, at 8 p.m. (ET/PT).

One cheating boyfriend, plus two scorned girlfriends, equals a night to remember as Carly and Tori plot sweet revenge while the rest of the iCarly and Hollywood Arts gang compete in a lyrical rap battle royale. 

The television event culminates in an ensemble performance of the theme song mash-up, “Leave It All to Shine,” which will be available on iTunes beginning Tuesday, June 7. 

Nickelodeon alumnus Kenan Thompson (Saturday Night Live, All That, Kenan & Kel) guest stars as himself.

Cast cheat sheet

CARLY SHAY (Miranda Cosgrove): 

Carly is a teenager who moved in with her twenty-something brother/guardian Spencer after their father was sent overseas by the military.  Carly is a fun, smart, cool girl who hosts her own home-grown web show along with her best friends, Sam and Freddie.  The incredible popularity of their web show, iCarly, catapults the trio to celebrity status with teens around the world.  While she’s a typical teenager in many ways, Carly is more mature than her friends and is the “go-to” voice of reason among them.

SAM PUCKETT (Jennette McCurdy):

Sam is Carly’s sassy best friend and web show co-host.  Although she’s always getting her out of trouble, Carly loves Sam because she's fun, unpredictable and a fiercely loyal friend. 

FREDDIE BENSON (Nathan Kress): 

Freddie is Carly’s next door neighbor and technical producer of the web show.  An avowed techno-geek, Freddie’s expertise is how the kids are able to get their web show up and running every week.  Though he would do anything for Carly, Freddie and Sam are constantly at odds with their bickering.

GIBBY GIBSON (Noah Munck): 

Gibby is Carly, Sam and Freddie’s oddball classmate and friend.  Always a good sport, Gibby is up for whatever crazy antics the gang comes up with. 

SPENCER SHAY (Jerry Trainor): 

Carly’s older brother, Spencer is an off-centered aspiring artist who assumed care of his little sister when their father was called overseas by the military.  He’s turned their house into both a workspace and a gallery for his collection of wacky sculptures. Though Spencer may be a little off beat, he’s always there for Carly when she needs him.
