Nickelodeon November Highlights

[KyL416]

November 8 from 8:00 - 9:30 p.m. (ET/PT) – iCarly "iGo To Japan" (90- Minute Movie) Movie Features a Performance By Good Charlotte.
•   Ecstatic when iCarly is nominated for a prestigious iWeb Award as "Best Comedy Web Show in the World," Carly (Miranda Cosgrove), Sam (Jennette McCurdy), and Freddie (Nathan Kress) rev up to face off at a performance competition... in Japan! But getting there is a wild and bumpy ride aboard a cargo plane with live possums. And after parachuting to Japanese soil, they're foiled by teen rivals bent on keeping them from the ceremony. Muddied from head-to-toe, the enterprising trio arrives at last, only to be sequestered in a utility room as the iWeb Awards get underway. Carly and Sam frantically try to explain to Japanese security guards that they're part of the show by acting out the events of the past two days. Meanwhile, Freddie manages to hook his camera up to the huge screen behind the stage, projecting their improvisational antics. The show-stopping performance by Good Charlotte is a hard act to follow, but if the audience and the judges are tickled by the teens -- and if Carly, Sam and Freddie can make it onstage -- they just might vote iCarly the #1 Comedy Web Show in the world.
Re-airs 11/9 @ 7pm, 11/10 @ 7pm (as a part of iGo Behind the Scenes stunt)
