LOS ANGELES (CelebrityAccess) – The Nickelodeon Kids Choice Awards (KCA) took place on Saturday (March 4), live from the Microsoft Theater. The 2023 edition was hosted by Nate Burleson and TikTok star Charli D’Amelio and featured appearances from today’s biggest names.
The show opened up with a dance medley featuring Burleson, D’Amelio, and content creators Michael Le and Markell Washington, as they recreated some of the biggest dance trends of the year – ending with a performance from Bebe Rexha of her chart-topping hit, “I’m Good (Blue).”
The Special King of Comedy Silver Blimp was given to comedy star Adam Sandler for his prolific career in comedy as an actor, writer, producer, comedian, and musician over the past 30 years, accepted from a giant throne on the KCA stage before getting his “slime on.”
