Emily Ratajkowski just unlocked a major memory for any ’90s and early 2000s kids who grew up watching iCarly. The model shared a hilarious TikTok of a snippet from the Nickelodeon show starring Miranda Cosgrove and Jennette McCurdy. Ratajakowsi apparently made a quick appearance on two episodes of the show in ’09, as Gibby’s (played by Noah Munck) girlfriend, Tasha.

“Did y’all know I was Tasha on iCarly,” the My Body author wrote on the screen above a video from an episode. “Wait for it. I was 16 or 17 and took two weeks of school to shoot two episodes.”

McCurdy and Munck were in the midst of a heated conversation when Ratajkowski’s character walked in, directed her attention at Gibby and asked, “How long are you going to make me wait?”

“Gibby, my first love lol,” Ratajkowski wrote on the screen. “Proud to be Tasha forever.”

Her video garnered 4.1 million views in less than one day, and the comment section was full of fans having a shocking realization. Others noted that iCarly was how they first discovered the model and mom of one.

“We need an emrata gibby reunion,” one fan quipped, while another begged, “Get Gibby on the podcast.”

“I REMEMBER THIS,” chirped one person.

“always thought she was Kendall Jenner,” someone else wrote.

“Emrata said I’m true to this not new to this about being w the funny dude,” one person joked, in reference to her previous relationship with Saturday Night Live’s Pete Davidson and rumored romance with comedian Eric André.

“You slayed that,” someone gushed, while another chimed, “Iconic role.”

“you look exactly the same but I didn’t put two and two together,” one person added.
