British-Irish boy band One Direction has topped the Billboard charts with their debut album Up All Night, sold out a North American tour in mere minutes, performed at the landmark 25th annual Kids' Choice Awards, and graced the cover of dozens of magazines (J-14 Magazine being the first, of course!) in just a matter of weeks -- and now the guys are making their American television acting debut on the hit Nickelodeon comedy iCarly on Saturday, April 7 at 8 p.m. ET/PT.

In the episode called "iGo One Direction" (originally called "iGot Jungle Worms"), Carly comes back home to Seattle after a trip and finds out that the UK sensation One Direction is going to perform on her web show, iCarly. But when 1D's Harry Styles takes a drink from Carly's water bottle, he gets so sick that the group can't perform.

"Harry did a great job and I had a lot of fun working with him," iCarly star Miranda Cosgrove tells J-14 exclusively. "Acting came to them very easily -- they have great comedic timing!" And star Jennette McCurdy adds, "They're all easygoing, funny, and sweet. It was fun to hang out between takes and get to know them."

What do you think of One Direction's acting debut on iCarly?

We've watched One Direction's "Megamind" videos enough times to know that Harry Styles, Liam Payne, Louis Tomlinson, Niall Horan, and Zayn Malik are totally hilarious. So it's no surprise that they rocked their American TV show acting debut on the iCarly episode "iGo One Direction" (originally called "iGot Jungle Worms.")

In the episode, One Direction play themselves and Harry gets sick. "Carly ends up having to nurse Harry back to health, but he takes it too far," Miranda tells J-14 exclusively. "Harry did a great job and I had a lot of fun working with him!" (For exclusive shots from the episode, pick up the April issue of J-14 magazine, on stands now.)

Watch a clip of the episode, which premieres this Saturday, April 7 at 8 p.m. (ET/PT) on Nickelodeon.
