Anthony Bourdain has some hard-hitting questions about the characters on Nickelodeon's tween favorite iCarly, and he asked them on Twitter last night. Among his inquiries: "Does Spencer have a job? Besides hanging out with underage girls?" and "[W]hat's Marvin Marvin's story?" Perfectly valid things for a renowned traveler/chef/middle-aged man to wonder in front of an audience of millions. I think he should consider live-tweeting an entire day of programming on The Hub, but that's just me. (via Warming Glow)

    Netflix recommended iCarly based on my search for “Goodfellas.” Maybe she’s more gangsta than I’ve been assuming.

    I suspect Mr. Bourdain was spending time with his daughter.

    • Boris Bartlog

       Or he could have been baked. And no I’m not trying to disrespect him. Bourdain is awesome.

    • IronEdithKidd

      I concur.  iCarly is on immediately after Spongebob, a pre-schooler favorite at my house and probably Bourdain’s.

  • Michael A

    Spencer has a job, iirc: he’s a professional sculptor.

    I’ve suddenly forgotten why I don’t tweet.

    Commenting is a bit squirrelly today.

    The man is seriously one of my heroes, he just has a quality about him that is uniquely original. Not the parts of it, but the sum of it, his experiences, attitude, and just his philosophy.

    please dear gods let him live -tweet some Ponies.

    It bothered me that he referred to the girls on the show as “little bitches.”
