Miranda Cosgrovenever intended to go viral.
Nearly two years ago, theiCarlystar made a comment about the “F-word” being her favorite expletive while on friendWhitney Cummings’Good For Youpodcast.
Now, the statement has becomea viral soundbite and remixed songon TikTok. Stars fromJoe JonastoLizzoto her formerDrake & JoshcostarJosh Peckhave gotten in on the fun, using the sound to create hilarious posts on the short-form video platform.
Cosgrove, in fact, feels her roots as a child star led to the clip’s popularity. “I mean, I hope I didn’t mess up anyone’s childhood,” she jokingly tells PEOPLE exclusively.
“I think that’s definitely what it is, but it was so random because I did that interview with my friend Whitney over a year ago,” she continues. “It’s just so funny how the internet works. Like, you never know what’s going to catch on or what’s going to happen.”

But Cosgrove is no longer the child star many once knew. She just celebrated her 29th birthday earlier this month — and will be hitting the big 3-0 next May, which is “crazy” to her.
At this time, Cosgrove is also in a great place in her career. Not only is she leading the Paramount+iCarlyrevival, but she also serves as an executive producer on the series.
Cosgrove says it “feels great” to have a bit more control in shaping the new series, which succeeds the five-season Nickelodeon children’s show of the same name. The revival sees Cosgrove’s titular Carly Shay as a twenty-something, navigating life’s many ups and downs.

She continues, “I have noticed, though, I’m not good at picking the best takes for myself. I’m really good at it with other people, but I feel like I can’t see outside of myself enough to know which ones are the best. So usually, someone else will pick for me. But I really like watching all the takes of everybody else and editing everything. It’s been really fun getting to be a part of the writing process. That’s probably one of the most fun things about getting to come back.”
