CBS and Nickelodeon put kids and families in control at the KIDS' CHOICE AWARDS, celebrating fans' favorites across film, television, music, gaming, sports and more, live from Television City in Los Angeles, Calif., on Saturday, Nov. 14 (8:00-9:30 PM, ET/5:00-6:30 PM, PT). For the first time, the show will air simultaneously on the CBS Television Network and Nickelodeon, and stream live on Paramount+ for Premium subscribers, with on-demand viewing available the following day for both Premium and Essential subscribers in the U.S. The show will also be available globally on Paramount+ following its linear premiere on Nickelodeon and CBS.

Hosted by multiplatinum GRAMMY® Award-nominated recording artist Alex Warren, the "KCAs" featured: high-energy music performances; epic slimings; and surprise reveals of fans' favorites across movies, TV, music, sports, digital and more--with Nickelodeon's signature Orange Blimp trophies awarded throughout the night.

Highlights from "KCAs" include:

  • An unforgettable show open celebrating memorable pop hits across the decades, from the 1980s to today, including a special cameo by JYT. Music sensation Jamie Miller then took the stage for his first-ever U.S. performance, delivering his #1 viral hit "Babydoll" alongside a cast of dancers and special celebrity cameos from Antonio Cipriano and Victoria Justice, before being showered in a spectacular blast of slime.
  • GRAMMY®-nominated electronic music duo SOFI TUKKER performed their fan-favorite dance anthem "TSUNAMI," before host Alex Warren unleashed a wave of iconic green goo. Multiplatinum singer-songwriter Ashe traded white for green after delivering a standout performance of her breakout hit "Stop the Wedding!" in a wedding gown, ending the number in true "KCA" fashion.
  • After comedy icon Chris Pratt accepted the "King of Comedy" Silver Blimp from his "Way of the Warrior Kid" co-star Jude Hill, he was bestowed with the highest "KCA" honor-a head-to-toe soaking in signature slime.
  • The show was filled with additional show-stopping slime moments, including: a cascade of iconic green slime raining down on Jackson Olson and Stella Lefty; ROSÉ delivering a surprise sliming to Teyana Taylor, her kids Junie and Rue, and the audience; and Alysa Liu and Jerry Trainor, who also got the green treatment.
  • The "KCAs" showcased the impact of young people driving change, highlighting a Boys & Girls Club program that connects middle school students with local seniors. Ahead of World Children's Day (Nov. 20), Nickelodeon launched new Our World grants, created through the Carnegie Challenge for Civic Leadership and Ashoka, to fuel the next generation of changemakers ages 5-20.
  • As "KCA" host Alex Warren brought the show to an epic close, he received the ultimate slime sendoff, getting drenched in a center-stage slime spectacular as confetti rained down.
