Steven William Upshaw, more commonly known as Crazy Steve, is a mentally disturbed employee of the The Premiere Theatre. He made his first appearance in season 2 episode, Movie Job.
Personality
At first, he quits his job (in "Movie Job") and gives it to Josh because of a complaint about a loose cup holder, but returns later in Seasons 3 and 4 as an employee again for unknown reasons. He has lots of strange problems, such as extreme anger issues. It can be assumed in "Really Big Shrimp" because of his father he had a rough childhood. He likes watching Dora the Explorer ("The Storm") and the song "She'll Be Coming 'Round the Mountain" calms him down. He also is never scheduled to work on Mondays because those are his "bad days", revealed in "Really Big Shrimp". Mindy once scheduled him to work on Mondays and exclaims "Crazy Steve's gone berserk!". In Merry Christmas, Drake & Josh, it is revealed that he has a wood chipper named Sally and gets angry when people refer to her as "it". He is shown to act normal when he talks to some characters like Audrey. Helen mentions him at the end of the Victorious episode, "Helen Back Again". Crazy Steve appears again in Sam and Cat episode #SuperPsycho where he is seen residing in Peter Sinai Hospital, although not physically portrayed by Jerry Trainor, and instead by Matt Little with Jerry Trainor voicing the character.
