Nickelodeon announced that Nate Burleson and Charli D'Amelio will share hosting duties on the 2023 Kids' Choice Awards. Burleson is a current co-host of CBS Mornings and is a CBS Sports analyst, while D'Amelio is a digital superstar in her own right. The Kids' Choice Awards celebrates favorites among the worlds of film, television, music, sports, and more, with the 2023 edition being held at the Microsoft Theater for the first time ever. The award ceremony will take place live on Sunday, March 4th at 7 p.m. ET/PT, and the announcement was made during today's airing of CBS Mornings.

"Hosting NFL Slimetime is always a blast, and I can't wait to bring that same energy and Slime as co-host of the iconic Kids' Choice Awards!" said Nate Burleson. "I grew up on Nickelodeon and my kids still love watching, so we're all ready for the stunts, surprises and superstars that await us at this year's show."

D'Amelio added, "I got slimed at the KCAs in 2021, saw my sister get slimed at last year's show and now, no one is safe with me as co-host! Nate and I will make sure this year's show is full of unexpected Slime shots, impressive dances and surprise tricks along the way!"
