Jennette McCurdy: The Next Queen of Comedy?

While she plays the sidekick right now, Jennette McCurdy appears to have the chops to be a Lucille Ball someday. Her wisecracking Sam on iCarly - the new hit TV show from Nickelodeon - draws some of the biggest laughs thanks to her comic timing and facial expressions.

But she got her start in dramatic roles and has the chops for those as well. In fact, she was nominated for a Young Artist Award in 2005 for her guest role in Strong Medicine.

Jennette McCurdy - What's New With Her?

Congrats to Jennette for winning the Best Sidekick award at the Kids Choice Awards. She beat out Noah Munck (Gibby) for the title. iCarly was also chosen as Best Show!

Jennette was just named to AOL Music's list of 21 Hottest Music Stars Under 21.

Jennette's song "Generation Love" made it to number 19 on CMT's top 20 countdown. Watch for her new album "Story of My Life" to be released in September.

Jennette loves playing board games such as Monopoly, Clue, Moods and Life.

    Dear Jenette,
    Thank you for taking a moment tonight (at Grossmont Mall) to let that little girl get her photo with you. The security only allowed some kids to snap a picture, which really bummed out those that had waited in line not once, but three times to try and get a chance to capture their moment with you. I had never heard of you before tonight, but watching you make time for those little star struck fans confirmed you are a young woman who is a good role model. Again thank you for your kindness (and remembering what it was like to be a kid waiting to see your idol) . Someone has raised a lovely daughter:) No doubt your parents Already know that.

    Respectfully, the woman who left her son's lacrosse game to bring a devoted tween fan to see her favorite TV star.
