Josh Duhamel proved he can still act like a kid while hosting the 26th Annual Kids’ Choice Awards on Saturday, March 23, 2013. Duhamel sang, danced, played basketball, and pretty much did everything else you could think of to make sure kids loved the show. Fans cast a record-breaking 387 million votes going into the night. Those fans who tuned in were treated to the slimings of NBA star Dwight Howard, Pitbull, Sandra Bullock, Neil Patrick Harris, Josh Hutcherson, Amanda Seyfried, Josh Duhamel, and Nick Cannon.
Among the big winners were The Hunger Games, Selena Gomez, One Direction, Johnny Depp, and Justin Bieber.
“Nothing was off-limits for first-time Kids’ Choice Awards host Josh Duhamel, from ziplining across the arena to donning a milkshake costume and SpongeBob’s square pants. This year’s host took funny to an entirely new level,” stated Russell Hicks, President, Content Development and Production, Nickelodeon.
In addition to Duhamel singing “Don’t Stop the Party,” musical performances included Pitbull and Christina Aguilera teaming up for “Feel This Moment” and Ke$ha performing a medley of “We R Who We R” and “C’Mon.”
