Passion, hard work, skills, determination and knowing how to be a team player, those are just some of the many things that make an accomplished and incredible athlete. Nickelodeon’s outstanding Kids’ Choice Sports is the only award show that brings together tons of the greatest sports stars on this planet along with super fun challenges and a whole lot of slime while leaving the power in the hands of all of the KIDS to vote for their favorite sports moments and athletes from this year. Needless to say, the Nickelodeon Kids’ Choice Sports brings all the excitement and a tremendous amount of energy making it one of the best award shows EVER!

It’s that exciting time of the year again and the Kids’ Choice Sports made its way back to Los Angeles, California for a memorable night of sports-mania! This year’s Nickelodeon Kids’ Choice Sports filmed at the Barker Hangar in Santa Monica, California on July 19, 2018 and will air tonight, July 20th at 8:00 PM ET / PT on Nickelodeon. Houston Rockets’ point guard and former NBA All-Star MVP Chris Paul was the host with the most for this magnificent event. He brought his awesome skills both on and off the court to the award show and he definitely put a big smile on everyone’s face being one terrific host that can’t be beat.

It’s hard not to get star-struck with all of the iconic sports celebs that made their way onto the orange carpet at this year’s Kids’ Choice Sports. The most decorated Olympian of all time, none other than Michael Phelps (who was last year’s winner of the Legend Award at the Kids’ Choice Sports) returned this year with his lovely wife and son, Boomer and he joined in on an exciting challenge during the award show. Other excellent sports stars who attended the event included Michael Strahan, Shaun White, Ronda Rousey, Lindsey Vonn, Russell Wilson, P.K. Subban, Travis Kelce, Chloe Kim, Alex Morgan, Antonio Brown, Alex and Maia Shibutani, Ibtihaj Muhammad, Mikaela Shiffrin and many others. It was one athlete-studded event where everyone will be fan-girling and fan-boying to the max when they spot their fave sports sensations.

 

In addition, the cast of Nickelodeon’s Knight Squad: Lilimar, Owen Joyner, Daniella Perkins and Amarr Wooten were in attendance at the event and had a blast joining the award show. JoJo Siwa brought her fun-loving and bubbly personality to the event as well. Liza Koshy and Marc Summers of Nickelodeon’s reboot of Double Dare were also a part of the exceptional award show and had a great time judging who won the iconic Double Dare obstacle course challenge – Kids’ Choice Sports host Chris Paul or Olympic legend, Michael Phelps.

The award show was jam-packed with four, jaw-dropping and adrenaline-filled challenges. These fantastic, sports-themed challenges really makes the Kids’ Choice Sports stand out as one marvelous event with a non-stop amount of fun, fun, fun!

Here’s a look at the challenges that went down at the Kids’ Choice Sports (source: press release):

  • In the Michael Strahan-hosted Shake N’ Break challenge, P.K. Subban, Mikaela Shiffrin, Ibtihaj Muhammad and P.J. Tucker gave the classic Musical Chairs dance game a sporty twist, dancing popular viral dances in the Shake Zone and breaking funny and messy items in the Break Zone, ending with a race through a sneaker box wall to be the first to hit the buzzer and win the chance to present the first award.

 

  • The JoJo Siwa-hosted Battle Carts Royale challenge tested the throwing accuracy of Winter Olympics medalists Shaun White, Chloe Kim, Maia Shibutani and Alex Shibutani as teams of two raced against each other in shopping carts, tossing out t-shirts to the audience in a race to hit a final target and trigger the dunking of their Nickelodeon Knight Squad teammate into a tank holding 1500 gallons of slime.

 

  • In the Slime Dunk challenge, two real kid superfans got the opportunity to shoot free throws in a one-on-one challenge, for the chance to dunk their basketball idols, Candace Parker and Isaiah Thomas, into six-foot-high slime-filled dunk tanks!

 

  • And to celebrate the return of Double Dare, Liza Koshy and Marc Summers brought the iconic Double Dare obstacle course to the Kids’ Choice Sports. In a special end-of-show moment, host Chris Paul fulfilled a childhood fantasy, running the super-sized and super messy course in a head-to-head showdown against the most decorated Olympian in history, Michael Phelps.

 

One of the many highlights from the stellar night was the stupendous Danica Patrick being honored with the prestigious Legend Award at the event. The best way to describe the admirable Danica Patrick is being an absolute legend and she was honored for her brilliant sportsmanship and how much she has inspired a countless amount of people to go after their dreams too. Upon receiving her award and giving a motivating acceptance speech, Danica Patrick was doused in tons of honorary gold slime.

According to the press release, “Nickelodeon’s Kids’ Choice Sports 2018 will be the first show powered by Nickelodeon’s SCREENS UP app which allows viewers to experience the show like never before through Augmented Reality on their mobile devices.  Available now on the App Store and via Google Play, Nickelodeon’s SCREENS UP will feature four eye-popping AR TV moments throughout the show including flying blimps, gold slime, a chance to take on Chris Paul in an interactive basketball game and more. SCREENS UP also provides fans with a robust second screen experience, while featuring AR-enhanced interactivity such as games and stickers of Nickelodeon characters that users can interact with in their world.”

26 Mar

Here’s a math equation you’ll actually like: Amazing celebrities + fantastic, orange blimps + TONS OF SLIME = the best award show ever – the Nickelodeon Kids’ Choice Awards! The renowned and prestigious Nickelodeon Kids’ Choice Awards is one award show that we all get so excited for and we eagerly wait for it to make its way on over to celebrate kids’ favorites in pop culture. This award show is one event that people of all ages love and enjoy. For the kids, it’s an award show that is filled with so much fun (and slime) and an endless amount of terrific moments. For teens and young adults, it helps us relive all of our favorite childhood memories and honors the things we can’t get enough of in the entertainment world – from social media trends to blockbuster hit movies and beyond. And for adults… well, who doesn’t want to see their kids gleaming with joy while they watch the Kids’ Choice Awards?!

Once again, Nickelodeon surpassed everyone’s expectations with another stupendous and extraordinary Kids’ Choice Awards, which took place on March 24, 2018 at the Forum in Inglewood, California. This year’s award show was even bigger, better and SLIMIER than years prior. WWE icon John Cena did a magnificent job being the host with the most for the second year in a row at the KCAs. He brought his unrivaled energy to the award show and he even brought some of his Cena “family” members to join in on the fun. For example, below, we see Fuller House‘s Candace Cameron Bure feeding baby Cena. We also can’t forget Nana Cena’s appearance at the award show too – talk about a whole lot of laughs!

Mmmm, yummy! Would you eat a spoonful of #slime? 👶💚 #KCA

A post shared by Nickelodeon (@nickelodeon) on

 

Of course, a Kids’ Choice Awards isn’t complete without a whole lot of celebs and this year’s award show had a countless amount of legendary celebrities who made their way onto the orange carpet to enjoy this exciting day. Celebrities including Mike Tyson and his family, Odell Beckham Jr., Lamar Odom, Channing Tatum, Heidi Klum, Travis Barker and his family, Patrick Schwarzenegger, Laurie Hernandez, Chloe Kim, Yara Shahidi, Kristen Bell, Hailee Steinfeld, Zendaya, the cast of Stranger Things: Millie Bobby Brown, Caleb McLaughlin and Sadie Sink, amongst many, many others attended the event. On top of the star-studded list of celebs who came to the KCAs, many of them even got honored with a special, slime dousing. (C’mon, who wouldn’t want to be slimed?!)

Some of the many unforgettable slime attacks that took place at the KCAs included Heidi Klum and Mel B getting slimed while presenting an award on a swing-set hovering over a slime pool (sounds risky to begin with!), Liza Koshy (who won the award for Favorite Funny YouTube Creator at the event) was slimed not just once but twice at the event and our #bae Shawn Mendes even got buckets of slime poured on him as a surprise from Henry Danger‘s Jace Norman. The Nickelodeon Kids’ Choice Awards ended off with the host himself, Mr. John Cena getting a slime pouring after the crowd got a share of slime too.

Have you ever wondered what #slime feels like? These stars got DRENCHED at #KCA! 💚

Where can you find some of the biggest and most iconic sports stars all under one roof taking on some of the most fun-filled (and slimiest challenges!), a place where some awesome kids can take on terrific, sports-inspired challenges with the help and coaching of the athletes they admire most, a place where so many outstanding Nick stars join together to celebrate a day of getting up, getting active, and recognizing the extraordinary sports stars we love the most – all of the epic-ness and sheer fan-demonioum happens at the one, the only Nickelodeon Kids’ Choice Sports! Nickelodeon never fails at bringing out the best of the best – from hit, animated and live-action shows to the greatest award shows on this planet, so, needless to say, we all knew that this year’s Kids’ Choice Sports was bound to be the best one yet, and it surely was! The 2017 Nickelodeon Kids’ Choice Sports had its special taping yesterday, July 13th at the UCLA Pauley Pavilion in Los Angeles, California. The phenomenal award show is set to air on Nickelodeon, TeenNick and Nicktoons on Sunday, July 16th at 8:00 PM ET / PT.

No amount of words can ever be enough to describe just how stupendous the 2017 Nickelodeon Kids’ Choice Sports was. There’s some indescribable, exciting feeling in the air that is quite like nothing else every time the Kids’ Choice Sports makes it way on over to Los Angeles for an unforgettable, sports-filled day. There were so many excellent highlights at this year’s renowned and prestigious award show. The Kids’ Choice Sports was hosted by none other than the sensational, Seattle Seahawks’ Russell Wilson, who returned to the KCS stage for his third year in a row as host. Russell Wilson always manages to bring extra excitement every time he hosts the awesome award show.

The orange carpet was rolled out and iconic athletes made their way down the carpet – from Michael Phelps to Shaun White, Simone Biles, Aly Raisman, Gabby Douglas, Odell Beckham Jr, Skylar Diggins-Smith and many others. Before you know it, attendees, athletes, and celebrities made their way inside the UCLA Pauley Pavilion to see the out of this world KCS stage – it truly was one of kind and the greatest stage you could ever imagine at an award show. Many outstanding athletes took on some remarkable challenges – something you can only see happen at the Nickelodeon Kids’ Choice Sports! DeAndre Jordan and Andre Drummond made their way up Slime Mountain, challenged their way through some obstacles, and slid down a slide full of slime. Another fun challenge was hosted by the one and only, Nick Cannon. The Beats ‘N Seats challenge put Lindsey Vonn, P.K. Subban, Prince Fielder, Breanna Stewart, and Gabby Douglas up against each other for an intense game of musical chairs. Who won? You’ll just have to find out by tuning in to the Nickelodeon Kids’ Choice Sports this Sunday!

Athletes Shaun White, Von Miller and Skylar Diggins-Smith got pedaling during the Pedal Pop Challenge, where they had to test their pedaling skills to see who can pedal the fastest and inflate a giant balloon filled with slime until it pops. Sports stars and Nickelodeon stars joined together for some other great challenges. Joining in on the fun was Simone Biles, Emmanuel Sanders, Landon Collins, Aly Raisman, Cree Cicchino, Ella Anderson, Madisyn Shipman, Riele Downs, Klay Thompson, Jimmy Butler, Kel Mitchell and Tony Cavalero.

Another spectacular highlight from the event was when the admirable, two-time Olympic Gold medalist, Simone Manuel was awarded with the first ever #SeeHer award for her history-making achievements and her indescribable talent. The #SeeHer movement is aimed to put an end to all gender biases and accurately portray women and girls in television and advertising.

The awe-inspiring award show ended off in a golden way with Olympic hero, Michael Phelps being honored with the “Legend Award.” It’s clear to see that Michael Phelps truly defines what it is like to be a legend. He’s worked endlessly to reach his goals and encourage everyone that anything is possible when you set your mind to it. Michael Phelps has made a splash in the pool and a big splash in all of our hearts and he has impacted the lives of many in a way like no other. Michael Phelps is beyond deserving of the “Legend Award” and today and every day, we celebrate having someone like Michael Phelps as an inspiration to all. After receiving the coveted blimp, Michael Phelps was doused with some golden slime – a perfect way to end a wonderful night.

So many fantastic athletes were in attendance at the event including Shawne Merriman, Julian Edelman, Dak Prescott, Abby Wambach, and many more. Celebrities in attendance included Michael Strahan, Lilimar, Baby Ariel, Stony Blyden, Mae Mae Renfrow, Daan Creyghton, Benjamin Flores Jr, Thomas Kuc, Madisyn Shipman, Cree Cicchino, Jade Pettyjohn, Breanna Yde, Aidan Miner, Ricardo Hurtado, Lance Lim, Tony Cavalero, Riele Downs, Jessie Paege, Alex Wassabi, Lauren Rihimaki, Brady Reiter, Jet Jurgensmeyer, amongst many others.
