Josh Peck reveals how much money he made from starring in Drake & Josh. The Nickelodeon sitcom enjoyed a four-season run from 2004-07 and proved popular with younger audiences, becoming the top-rated live-action show among viewers aged 2-11. The series also spawned two TV movies: Drake & Josh Go To Hollywood in 2006; and Merry Christmas, Drake & Josh in 2008.

Drake & Josh centered on two very different boys, Drake Parker (Drake Bell) and Josh Nichols (Peck), who are forced to learn how to live together as stepbrothers following the marriage of Drake's mom and Josh's Dad. While they start out at odds, the two soon find common ground, and they use their complimentary skillsets to get them out of a wide range of ridiculous scenarios. The show featured a number of actors who would go on to become familiar TV presences, including Miranda Cosgrove (iCarly) as Drake's conniving sister Megan, Yvette Nicole Brown (Community) as Josh's boss Helen, and Allison Scagliotti (Warehouse 13) as Josh's rival-turned-girlfriend.

This is no small amount of money, Peck acknowledges, but not something he and his family could live off forever. Check out his full comments below:
