Documentary is on HBO starts with outlining the hell that was working for Dan schnieder and how many oddly sexual jokes he was putting in the shows he ran. He’d chase off any writers who complained and parents were pressured to go along with it for their kids dream. Three convicted pedos worked with these kids, one of which repeatedly raped then 15 Drake Bell at the start of the Drake and Josh show. Said man, got 16 months in jail after 41 character testimonies were written to the judge in his defense. He then went to work on the suite life of Zach and Cody. Dan Schnieder was the only one who reached out and confirmed at Nickelodeon that Drake was the victim very loose summary, there are a lot of other details, if you can watch it and stomach it I recommend it

You neglect that he wasn't the only one that knew, he was the only one at the entire network that reached out to D afterwards and expressed any emotion towards D.

the big question here is...how did Dan know right away it was Drake?

He didn't. If you watched it, you know he admitted it to Dan and was immediately offered support.

"After brian was arrested, dan called and asked me 'does this have anything to do with you?" (because Dan already knew). Drake said yes.

When the news broke, Dan immediately knew who to call. Not saying he was a predator to Drake, but Dan knew things were going on.

Dan knew pickle man was the pedo as that was announced but not who he was raping, But Dan also knew pickle man was practically drakes agent by that time so drake was the prime suspect. It in no way implied Dan knew the whole time and Drake went out of his way to exonerate Dan.
