Yesterday at 5p, for 8 minutes and 46 seconds, several Viacom stations, including Nickelodeon, Comedy Central, BET, and MTV went black. That is the amount of the time that the murdering police officer had his knee on George Floyd’s neck. As Floyd’s life was leaving his body, he screamed, “I can’t breathe.”
Those three words were written on the black screen as we listened to someone struggling to breathe for that amount of time. Sit and listen to each breath, and let your anger take over you. That is why we peacefully protesting in the streets. That is why we are saying never again. This needs to stop. No one deserves to die like that, and no one ever should again.
Floyd’s voice was silenced, ours will speak louder for him. This needs to end now. Let’s work on a solution so that Floyd’s, and all of the innocent people who were murdered by bad cops, deaths were not in vain.
We are all people who bleed red, and we need to stop judging people by their skin color. We need to judge them for who they are as individuals.
This is just the beginning of their new programming. Also this Saturday, they will be debuting the special The Substitute Top 10 Wildest Pranks. The hidden camera show, which debuted in January, has celebrities going undercover as the worst substitute teachers. After causing a whole bunch of mayhem, Asher Angel, Cooper Barnes, The Bella Twins, John Cena, Kel Mitchell, NE-YO, Jace Norman, Johnny Orlando, Rico & Raini Rodriguez, Lilly Singh, JoJo Siwa, and Shaun White, each gave the schools a much-needed donation of $25,000. The episode will show never-before-scene moments from their pranks.
Also coming up on Nick, they are adding two new virtual shows to their lineup. Group Chat: The Show will make its debut on May 23rd, and it is a pop culture talk show hosted by Annie LeBlanc and Jayden Bartels. Each week they will talk to other celebrities about the trendiest topics for kids.
On June 13th, we will get to know Game Face, and it is going to be a lot of fun. A panel of celebrities will have to guess which celebrity they are talking to. The mystery guest will be disguised with an animated filter and a voice changer. To make things even funnier for the viewers, they will be able to download and use the filters featured on each episode.
My hat is off to Nick’s President Brian Robbins for giving kids something to enjoy in all of this uncertanity.
A few weeks ago, CBS announced that All Rise is doing a quarantine episode, and now Nickeldeon’s Danger Force is doing one too on May 9th.
According to the press release, the episode centers around “the team of superheroes-in-training raising the stakes and lightening the mood with a virtually produced special where the city of Swellview is quarantined from a way-too-natural gas leak from the nearby Bhutt Factory.”
The show revolves around four kids, Chapa (Havan Flores), Miles (Terrence Little Gardenhigh), Mika (Dana Heath), and Bose (Luca Luhan), who have been accidentally mutated into superheroes. Now the four of them are learning how to use their powers correctly from Captain Man (Cooper Barnes) and Schwoz (Michael D. Cohen).
I think this is a great thing that Nick is doing for the kids because it will help to make things seems a little more normal for them during all of this madness. Between this and the Kid Choice Awards, airing the week beforehand, there is plenty for them to watch on Saturday nights.
That is music to their parents’ ears. Hopefully, Frankie Grande’s musical number, This Gas Shall Pass, from the episode will be too.
The 2020 Kids Choice Awards were slated to take place in March, but like everything else, they were postponed to a later day because of Coronavirus. Today, Nickelodeon that they have been rescheduled for May 2nd.
Nick said that “this year’s virtually produced show will reveal the winners through some of the most creative orange-blimp acceptances in KCA history.” What that means, we do not know. What we do know is that there will be slime. Would it be KCA without it? Nope!
KCA will be hosted by Victoria Justice, and they are honoring LeBron James. There will be special appearances by The Avengers, Dwayne Johnson, Ariana Grande, Kristen Bell, Josh Gad, Camila Cabello, Millie Bobby Brown, Ellen DeGeneres, BTS, Shawn Mendes, Lil Nas X, Dove Cameron, Tom Holland, and David Dobrik.
Back to the slime, JoJo Siwa’s house is going to be filled with the stuff. If it is not all over, then who cares.

Tomorrow night at 8:30p on Nickelodeon, All That is celebrating the 25th anniversary of their popular sketch Island Girls with Alisa Reyes and Lori Beth Denberg reprising their roles as Kiki and Fran.
In all of that time, have they gotten off of the island, or are they still there? Just like Gilligan and his five friends and the surviving passengers of Oceanic Flight 815, they are still marooned there. Will tomorrow be the night that they finally go home or will they live there forever and ever and ever and ever and ever? You will have to tune in to see.
Yesterday, I was watching someone ask someone what three things they would take to a deserted island with them, so I called Alisa and asked the Island Girl what she would bring with her?
These are her three things:
1- My iPhone for if nothing else to take selfies…until I lose power 😃
2- A good concealer with at least an SPF 50.
3- And my husband for…survival type of stuff.
Now that we know what the actress would take, what does she think the three things are that her character Kiki needs?
1- The Kitchen Sink – how else are you gonna wash your dishes silly?
2- A toaster because I don’t like cold bread.
3- And last but not least a paper straw for my co-co-nut! Duh! #savetheturtles
Those are three things no one can live without when they are deserted in paradise all by themselves and one other person. The Professor would approve. His co-islander, Mary Ann, would totally give a thumbs up to Kiki’s outfit.
Tomorrow, we will give All That a thumbs up for bringing back this skit to the revival series.
