Nickelodeon star Josh Peck makes huge discovery: 'I feel bad for it...'

Josh Peck 'hates' the weekend

Josh Peck "hates" the weekend.

The 38-year-old actor - who is married to Paige O'Brien and has Max, six, and two-year-old Shai with her - made the "discovery" recently that he much prefers the working week even though it might seem "weird" to others.

Speaking on his 'Good Guys' podcast, he said: "My weekend was average. A lot of kids. I had a discovery and feel bad for it, but I've felt it my entire life, and I'm just gonna embrace it. I hate the weekend. It's weird, right?"

"I go to work. And, by four or five, I'm home, the kids are home, we're like crushing family time til eight o'clock when the kids to bed and then it's an hour or two do whatever we want when Paige and I hang out. I like that structure and I could to that 99 percent of days.

"I also just like when the phone is ringing, when there's something to do, when there's an email to write. When that last email comes in on Friday night, I'm like 'I'm gonna see a red bubble for the next 39 hours, 47 hours..."
