Co-hosted by actress Miranda Cosgrove and NFL player Rob Gronkowski, the 2022 Kids’ Choice Awards are back and “slimier” than ever, according to the Nickelodeon press release.
It continues:
For the first time ever, the show will feature a night filled with 1,000 epic slimings and dozens of fun-filled pranks celebrating fan-favorite stars across the worlds of film, television, music, sports and more. Nickelodeon’s Kids’ Choice Awards 2022 will simulcast across Nickelodeon, TeenNick, Nicktoons and the Nick Jr. channel.
All night long, KCA slimings will be front and center, dousing celebrity correspondents, landmarks, schools across the U.S. and more, with an on-screen running tally for kids at home. This year’s show will also feature: Nickelodeon’s signature blimp as it ventures into the metaverse with celebrity avatars; second screen content; live voting where fans stay in control; and the ability to stream the show LIVE across all platforms.
“The Kids’ Choice Awards is such a unique show with tons of energy, superstars and of course, lots of slime,” said Cosgrove in a statement. “Nickelodeon has always been my family and to co-host this iconic show alongside Gronk will be a blast!”

This one’s for you!”
