Acting Debut We know about David Archuleta’s musical ear, but he may very well have an ear for the stage as well. Less than five months after American Idol’s finale, David was on the set of the hit Nickelodeon show, “iCarly,” to tape an episode which aired on February 7, 2009.

iCarly “Crush”

For his acting debut, David Archuleta appeared as a character much like himself, a contestant in a singing competition. The 1½ hour special on Nickelodeon, entitled “Crush Night,” was perfectly timed to promote David’s first music video for his hit single, “Crush.” The iCarly show culminated with David’s first TV performance of “Crush.” The show also led to a rabid Internet search for the phrase ‘hob knocker’.

David Archuleta, runner up in the 2008 7th season of American Idol, is a rising star in the music industry. Now, with his acting debut on the hit Nickelodeon television show iCarly, he may be taking the big and little screens by storm as well. – Tracy DeLuca, Associated Content

Two Thumbs Up, David!

Our Photo of the Week has David and Jennette McCurdy in the “iCarly” studio giving the two thumbs up sign. Thumbs up is one of David’s signature gestures. He inspires a very positive outlook on life. On October 13 David’s first Christmas album will be released. DA Honeybees plan to give David the two thumbs up sign to congratulate and thank him for his beautiful holiday music.
