The 2026 Kids' Choice Awards, simulcast on CBS and Nickelodeon from Los Angeles in September, the first time the ceremony has gone out on broadcast television. Slime on a network that also carries the evening news. The record files the first.
Nickelodeon's Kids' Choice Awards in their first simulcast on a broadcast network, CBS, in September 2026. The record notes that the show's signature is a bucket of green slime and that the internet's first question was whether CBS knew this.
Seen in the run-up through the summer of 2026, chiefly in posts asking the slime question in different ways. The record had not seen the broadcast at the time of writing and lists the term as alive because the show was still ahead.
I was slimed, in a sense, in the 1990s: a school science fair, a bucket, a misunderstanding. The news in 2026 that the ceremony was moving to CBS made me feel the format had finally been taken seriously. The record does not share this feeling and has recorded it anyway.
What does it mean? Write it the way you would say it out loud.
