7. Celebs who appeared on the series included Ashley Tisdale (playing a Cold Curer in three episodes), Saturday Night Live star Taran Killam, Shiri Appleby (as a nerd), Kathie Lee Gifford, and The O.C.’s Adam Brody as Greg Brady.
8. The Amanda Show was Taran’s first acting job out of school, with the SNL vet appearing in one of the show’s most beloved recurring sketches, Moody’s Point, a parody of teen dramas like Dawson’s Creek. Moody’s mom in the sketch was played by The Brady Bunch star Maureen McCormick.
9. Moody’s Point was pitched to Nickelodeon to be its own spinoff, which would’ve heavily featured Taran’s character Spaulding, but the network decided not to pick it up.
“It would have been similar to Zoey 101, but with much more bizarre, absurd, random comedy,” Schneider one revealed. “In fact, if you think about it, the whole Zoey-Chase relationship was a lot like the Moody-Spaulding relationship.”
