The slimiest night on television is back as the Nickelodeon Kids’ Choice Awards 2025 takes over the airwaves, with Grammy-winning artist Tyla stepping into the role of host. The annual event, which puts voting power directly into the hands of its young audience, will celebrate favorites across film, music, television, and animation.
This year’s ceremony features a special honor for a network veteran. Jack Black, an actor whose comedic energy has resonated with generations of kids, will receive the King of Comedy Award. It’s a fitting tribute for a star who has maintained a strong connection to the Nickelodeon audience throughout his career.
While Tyla brings a contemporary musical presence to the stage and Black provides a link to the show’s past, the real star of the evening remains the network’s signature green slime. The show is known for its elaborate and unexpected slimings, a tradition that has become its most recognizable feature. The broadcast aims to deliver a high-energy celebration of pop culture tailored specifically for its demographic, where the winners are chosen by kids and the losers often end up covered in goo.
The Nickelodeon Kids’ Choice Awards 2025 airs live on Saturday, June 21 at 8:00 PM ET.
