Michael Strahan hosted a dance off between Mikaela Shiffrin, P.K. Subban, P.J Tucker and Ibtihaj Muhammad.
Two children were tasked with making free-throws with basketballs. Adjacent to each hoop was a massive dunk tank filled with green slime, with basketball stars Candace Parker and Isaiah Thomas positioned above the tanks. Whichever child hit the most shots would cause the star adjacent to their basket to fall into the slime. This resulted in Parker being dunked, submerged, and totally covered in the slime.
JoJo Siwa hosted a throwing accuracy challenge between, Alex Shibutani, Maia Shibutani, Shaun White and Chloe Kim that would result in a Knight Squad cast member being dunked into the slime tanks.
Marc Summers and Liza Koshy held a game of Double Dare between host Chris Paul and Michael Phelps. [3]
NASCAR racer Danica Patrick was the Legend Award winner. She was the first woman to receive the award. Patrick was then completely and overwhelmingly covered with thick gold slime that shot out from hidden jets on the ground next to her. This was a tradition that has accompanied all prior winners. [3]
Double Dare is an American game show in which two teams compete to win cash and prizes by answering trivia questions and completing messy stunts called physical challenges. It originally ran from 1986 to 1993. A revival ran in 2000, and the most recent revival ran from 2018 to 2019.
The Nickelodeon Kids' Choice Awards, also known as the KCAs or Kids' Choice, is an American annual awards ceremony show produced by Nickelodeon. Usually held on a Saturday night in March or early April, the show honors the year's biggest in television, film, music, and sports as voted by viewers worldwide of Nickelodeon networks. Winners receive a hollow orange blimp figurine, a logo outline for much of the network's 1984–2009 era, which also functions as a kaleidoscope.
Gunge as it is known in the United Kingdom, or slime as it is known in the United States and most English-speaking areas of the world, is a thick, gooey, yet runny substance with a consistency somewhere between that of paint and custard. It has been a feature on many children's programs for many years around the world and has made appearances in game shows as well as other programming. While gunge mostly appears on television, it can also be used as a fundraising tool for charities, youth and religious groups. Gunge tanks have appeared at nightclubs and Fun Days. The British charities Comic Relief and Children in Need, supported by the BBC, have used gunge for fundraising in the past. In the U.S., slime is sometimes associated with Nickelodeon, even having several game shows revolving around it, such as Slime Time Live.
