“Nickelodeon’s Kids’ Choice Awards is a great event that celebrates kids by honoring their opinions and taps into the kid in all of us. I have a lot of secret plans for when I host the awards, but I can tell you I’m excited to lead millions of kids into total crazy fun, chaos..and, of course, endless slime!”, said dynamic Hollywood star Josh Duhamel upon announcing that he would be hosting the Kids’ Choice Awards (KCA).
Last year, Nickelodeon’s 2012 Kids’ Choice Awards, ranked as basic cable’s top telecast for the week (26th March 2012 – 1st April 2012) with 6.2 million total viewers and was the number-one telecast for the week with kids and tweens across all TV.
Celebrated as the ultimate kid experience where Hollywood and slime collide, kids rule and honour their favourite from the worlds of film, music, sports, and television. In many international markets, the 2013 KCAs will feature country-specific award categories and nominees, such as “Favorite Asian Act” and “Favorite UK TV Show”.
Votes were cast across Nick.com, Nick’s mobile site, a brand-new iPhone/iPad/iPod Touch apps, an iPad-optimized site, an application on Nick’s Facebook page and via Twitter and custom hash tags.
Josh Duhamel, previously a Kids’ Choice Awards slime recipient and “Arm Fart Hall of Fame” champ, will take the reins for the first time as host of Nickelodeon’s 26th Annual Kids’ Choice Awards. The celebrity-filled live telecast will air live from USC’s Galen Center and is tape delayed for West Coast, and will air on Nickelodeon SEA on 25th March 2013 (Monday) at 6pm.
