Josh Duhamel will soon be seen in theaters starring in the latest romantic movie based on a Nicholas Sparks book, Safe Haven. There, he’ll be providing a little eye candy for the female audience. But on March 23, 2013, he’s going to be performing for a younger audience. Duhamel’s been tapped to host the 2013 Kids’ Choice Awards.

Duhamel’s been slimed before, so he’s well aware of what the Nickelodeon show is all about. However, this year will mark his debut as host.

“Josh has come out to play before for Kids’ Choice and as a previous ‘best arm fart’ winner we know he’ll do what it takes to be a great host,” stated Marjorie Cohn, President, Content Development for Nickelodeon and Executive Producer of the Kids’ Choice Awards. “We promise that this year will deliver the special, one-of-a-kind surprise-filled slimefest for which our annual telecast is famous.”

Duhamel commented on his upcoming hosting gig: “Nickelodeon’s Kids’ Choice Awards is a great event that celebrates kids by honoring their opinions and taps into the kid in all of us. I have a lot of secret plans for when I host the awards, but I can tell you I’m excited to lead millions of kids into total crazy fun, chaos …and, of course, endless slime!”
