Kenan has admitted he found it "tough to watch" recent four-part Investigation Discovery documentary series Quiet On Set, which has raised allegations of a toxic and dangerous culture on the set of former children's TV producer Dan Schneider's shows, including the likes of All That, The Amanda Show and Drake and Josh.

"I mean, he got a 'created by' credit but it was a different showrunner, so our worlds weren't really overlapping like that, outside of All That, necessarily."I wasn't really aware of a lot of it, but my heart goes out to anyone who's been victimised or their families. Kenan then said: "Well, investigate more, because this is supposed to be a safe space, it's supposed to be a safe place for kids, and to hear all about that is just like, how dare you, you know."

In the documentary, Drake claimed former Nickelodeon writer and Drake and Josh creator Dan was "unaware" of the abuse he suffered. As well as stars of his shows opening up on their experiences, the issues raised in the series include writers accusing him of creating a toxic environment with cruel pranks.
