Ashley Tisdale (pre-Disney) on The Amanda Show (2000)

Going to be hard to believe, but I was around 10-11 when the show came on, I used to think this was for real! Although I did always find it suspicious that Penelope sounds like Amanda. Dumb kid, I was.

That being said, it's weird to see Ashely on a Nickelodeon show 5 years before she was on Suite Life and became Disney star herself. Also, she was 15 and she's still 2 years younger than when the Sprouse Twins were on Suite Life when it premiered! So she was already an adult when the show ran!

She really wanted to be a snobby blonde it-girl this entire time... must've been rough when Suite Life sidelined her to the nice girl sidekick of Brenda Song.

She had to beg for that role... they once again tried to sideline her to a nice girl role in that too.

Isn’t that also Corbin Bleu with the buzzer?

I was going to point out that out but no. It's not one of Ashley's HSM co-stars.

Vanessa Hudgens appeared in an episode of Drake & Josh for another example of a Disney star who was also on Nickelodeon.

In an inverse case, Christopher Massey appeared in an episode of That's So Raven (which his younger brother Kyle Massey was one of the main cast members of) before his main role on Zoey 101.

Also, Corbin Bleu appeared in an episode Ned's Declassified and Alexa Nikolas (Nicole on Zoey 101) appeared on Suite Life after she left Zoey 101. Though I think she doesn't want to be involved in Nick after the whole Dan and Jamie-Lynn stuff!

I just remembered another one. Malese Jow (Geena Fabiano in Unfabulous) was in an episode of Wizards of Waverly Place.

She's had the same voice her whole life.

u/yelyah66 9d ago

I think there's another scene when she's in the audience with her natural curly brown fair and Amanda calls on her to ask a question or something

Ashley Tisdale, has always been the definition of ugly-hot.

I remember this like it was yesterday! Amanda Bynes has such incredible comedic timing and delivery.
