The nominations for this year’s Nickelodeon Kids’ Choice Awards are in as CBS Mornings‘ and CBS Sports Analyst Nate Burleson and digital superstar Charli D’Amelio prepare to host the 2023 ceremony live on Saturday, March 4, at 7 p.m. (ET/PT) from the Microsoft Theater in Los Angeles.
Stranger Things leads the pack with six nominations, followed by That Girl Lay Lay, High School Musical: The Musical: The Series, and The Fairly OddParents: Fairly Odder with four nominations each. While first-time nominees include Jenna Ortega, Jack Harlow, GAYLE, Joji, Nicky Youre, Letitia Wright, and more.
“Hosting NFL Slimetime is always a blast, and I can’t wait to bring that same energy and Slime as co-host of the iconic Kids’ Choice Awards!” said Burleson. “I grew up on Nickelodeon and my kids still love watching, so we’re all ready for the stunts, surprises and superstars that await us at this year’s show.”
Recent Dancing With the Stars winner D’Amelio added, “I got slimed at the KCAs in 2021, saw my sister get slimed at last year’s show and now, no one is safe with me as co-host! Nate and I will make sure this year’s show is full of unexpected Slime shots, impressive dances and surprise tricks along the way!”
Nickelodeon Kids’ Choice Awards 2023 will simulcast across Nickelodeon, TeenNick, Nicktoons, the Nick Jr. channel, TVLand, CMT and MTV2.
