This
year's festivities kicked off with Shelton getting hosting pep talks
from celebrity friends including Adam Levine, Pharrell Williams, Nick Jonas,
Selena Gomez, Chewbacca and BB-8. After being alerted that the
Stormtroopers were trying to take over the 2016 Kids’ Choice Awards,
Shelton jumped into action and battled his way onto the show stage via
a super-charged chair from The Voice.
During
the show, singer-songwriter Charlie Puth and hip-hop star Wiz
Khalifaperformed a medley of “One
Call Away” and “See You Again”, right before taking home the blimp for “Favourite
Collaboration”. Rapper Silento appeared the night of Kids’ Choice Awards to sing his mega-hit “Watch Me (Whip/Nae Nae),” and DNCE closed the show with
a performance of their chart-topping single “Cake by the Ocean” that culminated
with an ultimate slime dousing of the audience.
The
2016 Kids’ Choice Awards
proved to be a mega slime fest, from kids in the audience awarding Shelton with an epic finale
sliming, to Jace Norman
dumping a bucket of green goo on John
Stamos, to Fifth Harmony
getting drenched after their win for Favourite Music Group, and Shelton welcoming Jason Sudeikis and Josh Gad to the green side.
This
year’s show put the power of choice in the hands of kids at home with an
interactive digital experience like never before. Kids had the
opportunity to choose what happened live during the show by casting votes to
see four different outrageous moments play out: Shelton and Norman
pranking DNCE with toilet paper in their dressing room; CameronDallas
