“I am leaving Nickelodeon,” Hartman explained to fans. “This is not clickbait. This is not a joke. This is completely 100% serious. I have reached a decision and it’s just time to go. These things happen with careers in Hollywood sometimes, and I’m certainly not the first person ever to leave a studio, and certainly won’t be the last, but it’s the first time for me.”
“I never had a job this long at one place,” he continued. “A lot of you are probably very young. You’re probably not even 20 years old yet, and just to imagine being at one job for 20 years is probably a little hard to imagine but when you get to be my age and you’ve had a career as long as I have it can be pretty interesting to be at a job at one studio for so long, and I must tell you I’ve had the time of my life at Nickelodeon. I’ve never been disappointed. I’ve never been let down. I’ve been treated extremely well by everybody there. This is not a video to diss on Nickelodeon or to trash them or anything because they’ve just been fantastic.”
