Our White House: An Inaugural Celebration for Young Americans hosted by Keke Palmer | Nickelodeon


Join us for the first-ever livestream for young Americans before and during the Inaugural Ceremonies. The livestream, hosted by award-winning entertainer and advocate Keke Palmer, will feature a special message from Dr. Jill Biden; commentary from historians Doris Kearns Goodwin and Erica Armstrong Dunbar; a segment on presidential pets produced by Nickelodeon; excerpts of student voices from PBS NewsHour Student Reporting Labs “We the Young People” programming; trivia questions, including some asked by Doug Emhoff; segments produced by the Library of Congress; and other special features.

Joseph R. Biden is set to become the 46th president of the United States of America on January 20, 2021. One of the notable aspects that separates the President-Elect from his predecessor is that he's an animal lover, with his rescue dog, Major, also being honored by the shelter he came from on the day of Biden's inauguration.


To mark Joe Biden's inauguration, the Presidential Inaugural Committee (PIC) has announced that it is hosting Our White House: An Inaugural Celebration for Young Americans,  a first-ever curated livestream for young Americans before and during the Inaugural Ceremonies, which will feature a special segment on presidential pets produced by Nickelodeon.

Our White House: An Inaugural Celebration for Young Americans will air on the day of the U.S.'s 59th presidential inauguration, Wednesday, January 20 between 10:00 a.m.-12:30 p.m. EST, and will be hosted by award winning entertainer and advocate Keke Palmer, the star of Nickelodeon's True Jackson, VP and the host the network's Nick News: Kids Pick the President special in October 2020, in which kids correctly predicted that Biden would win the presidential election. 

Our White House: An Inaugural Celebration for Young Americans will also stream at BidenInaugural.org/youth and PIC’s YouTube channel; broadcasted by Nickelodeon and Discovery Education and steamed via their websites, apps, and social media platforms; steamed online by PBS NewsHour, Amazon Prime Video, and on ABC Owned Television Stations’ 32 connected TV Apps across Android TV, Amazon Fire TV, Apple TV, and Roku; and a Spanish-language broadcast will also air on Discovery Familia later on January 20.

Below is the PIC's official synopsis for Our White House: An Inaugural Celebration for Young Americans. The PIC's full highlights to celebrate Joe Biden's inauguration can be found here: https://bideninaugural.org/schedule.

Zen Monkey Studios has announced that they'll be releasing a range of pin badges inspired by Nickelodeon's popular noughties animated series My Life As A Teenage Robot later this year!

Zen Monkey Studios' My Life As A Teenage Robot pin badges will be perfect for wearing whilst blading at the skate park down by the mall, preventing hostile aliens from annihilating us all, or any other hobby or chore you may have!

My Life As A Teenage Robot was created by Rob Renzetti and premiered on August 1st, 2003. Set in the fictional town of Tremorton, the series follows the adventures of a robot girl named XJ-9, or Jenny Wakeman, as she prefers to be called, who attempts to juggle her duties of protecting Earth while trying to live a normal human life as a teenager. MLAATR ran for 62 episodes over three seasons, winning two Emmy awards and garnering an additional nomination for Outstanding Animated Program. The series was produced by Frederator Studios in association with Nickelodeon Animation Studios.


Renzetti pitched the series to Frederator Studios' animated shorts showcase Oh Yeah! Cartoons and a pilot titled "My Neighbor is a Teenage Robot", which aired on January 5, 1999.

Zen Monkey Studios' My Life As A Teenage Robot pin badges are currently up on the company's wholesale catalog for a select clients, and plan to offer them to their distributor catalogs in a few months, so hopefully they'll be available for fans to purchase later this year!

Africa - Financial Mail Redzone will be hosting a panel discussion with ViacomCBS Networks Africa to discus the results of ViacomCBS' recent global research study, Are We There Yet?: Today’s Parents, Tomorrow’s Kids. Dubbed The Redzone in Discussion with..... ViacomCBS - Today’s Parents, Tomorrow’s Kids – Road to the Future Work, the panel will take place on Tuesday, February 2, 2021 between 09h00 – 10h00. To register to attend the online event, visit https://arenaevents.africa/webinar-registrations/todays-parents-tomorrows-kids-road-to-the-future-work/. Below is more information about the panel as well as a article about the study:


Today’s Parents, Tomorrow’s Kids – road to the future work
2 February 2021 | 09h00 – 10h00

The study dubbed ViacomCBS’s “Are We There Yet: Today’s Parents, Tomorrow’s Kids” reflects that while parenting styles have changed over the years, the core of parenting has not. Kids’ lives today are still dominated by authority figures and parents still place high expectations on them. What has changed significantly over the years is the nature of the relationship between parents and their kids.

Join the Financial Mail Redzone, Arye Kellman and Giuliana Dias (Senior Director: Insights and Research at ViacomCBS Networks Africa) to hear in-depth insights into the latest developments in new age parenting styles and the evolving dynamics between parents and kids.


What ViacomCBS’s parenting study means for brands and content creators

‘Are We There Yet?’ highlights changing parenting styles and their impact on the next generation

Helicopter, lawnmower, tiger and free-range parenting are all new terms and emerging parenting styles suggesting that today’s children have more protective and interfering parents than ever before. Over the past decades, the world has witnessed the evolution of parenting philosophies across the globe as new generations navigate myriad tensions and attempt to parent their children differently from previous generations.  

After connecting with more than 1.8-million children, teens, young adults and adults through consumer insights, covering 79 countries globally, from Sweden to SA and Argentina to Australia, ViacomCBS has gleaned insights into the latest developments in New-Age parenting styles and the evolving dynamics between parents and children.

The study dubbed ViacomCBS’s Are We There Yet: Today’s Parents, Tomorrow’s Children reflects that while parenting styles have changed over the years, the core of parenting has not. Children’s lives today are still dominated by authority figures and parents still place high expectations on them. What has changed significantly over the years is the nature of the relationship between parents and their children.  

“In the past decades, the word parent has shifted from being a noun to a verb. Previously, when one had children, they were defined by the simple act of being a parent. Nowadays, ‘parent’ has become a verb: rather than focusing on what one is, it has become about what one does. Parenting is now viewed as a role that needs consistent work with a hands-on approach,” said Tasania Parsadh, director for Nickelodeon channel brands at ViacomCBS Networks Africa (VCNA) and co-parent to a four and six year old.

Parents are becoming more involved and conscious in their style, often choosing to instil flexibility and independence in their children. Though parents still think it’s incredibly important to set rules and boundaries, there’s a more open, flexible approach to rules. More than half of parents in the study globally said they were more likely than their own parents to take the time to explain the reasons behind their rules to their children.

Parents themselves also recognise that sometimes it’s OK to bend or break the rules to get things done. Parents in the study say they are happier being more fluid with their approach than in the past.

Our insightful research shows that 97% of parents surveyed in SA believe that their children are the most important things in their lives. This is universally recognised, with more than nine in 10 parents in all of the countries surveyed agreeing with this sentiment.  

Giulana Dias, senior director for research & insights at VCNA, whose household comprises two teenagers and whose team led the SA research, says: “I believe what we are seeing right now is that children have become central in their parents’ lives. Family life revolves around children and they are the ones taking priority in their parents’ lives. The study aimed to explore what this means for brands and content makers.” 

These insights present an opportunity to tap into the bond that children and parents have and target both groups at the same time. Similarly, in the content space, there are opportunities for brands to create content that can be enjoyed by both children and parents together. More broadly, this is a space that allows for families to spend more time together. So why not be the brand known for creating experiences that help parents and their children spend more time together? 

To make an impact on the next generation effectively, brands need to start looking at ways of meeting their needs. The ViacomCBS-led study shows that the next generation is different, powerful and influential, therefore brands need to apply a new and disruptive way of thinking.  

Through showcasing an in-depth understanding of parents and their children’s needs, aspirations and values, brands can appeal to them effectively. Over the years, some brands have achieved this successfully, while others completely missed the mark.  

The reality is that today’s children are growing up in a world where parents are worried about a range of factors including their children’s futures, mental health, bullying, physical health and the growing impact of social media. These worries lead to a series of tensions, which all have an effect on families and children’s upbringing.    

For example, parents want their children to be independent without compromising their safety, which often leads to a proliferation of different schools of thinking around how to achieve this balancing act. The question becomes whether to expose children to the real world and prepare them for adult life, or shelter them so they can enjoy their childhood. In SA, most parents in the study believe children should understand the real world they’re growing up in, as they cannot be shielded from everything — another great example of the balancing act parents are faced with daily.  

For parents faced with these constant tensions, it is essential that the brands they support understand their plight and reflect it in their offerings. Brands and content makers should reflect the ups and downs of today’s families — it doesn’t have to be perfect all the time.  

The VCNA study also reveals that brands get it wrong in children’s content by portraying parents incorrectly or by completely excluding them — which fails to reflect the reality between children and their parents that we are seeing in the home.

VCNA’s intent is for brands to reflect the role of parents in content in a more real and accurate way by tapping into the challenges and tensions they experience in today’s world, as well as celebrate them and give reassurance that they’re doing a great job. After all, being a parent is one of the most difficult jobs in the world. A significant portion of parents in the study (88%) of parents from both low- and high-income groups agree that being a parent is one of the most challenging things one can do.  

At the heart of ViacomCBS is the constant dynamic of innovation, reimagining and reinventing, through world-class and insightful research that supports a better understanding of audiences at each stage of their lives. To understand the next generation of children, it’s important to explore the influences shaping their development.  

Join the FM Redzone, Arye Kellman and Giuliana Dias on February 2 for more insights into the changing role of parents.

Karisma Previews New Nickelodeon Hotels & Resorts Riviera Maya Vacation Destination; To Open June 2021 [Updated]

Update (15/1/21) - Nickelodeon Hotels & Resorts Riviera Maya will reportedly open on Tuesday, June 1, 2021! The hotel will have 280 rooms divided into 276 suites. As the hotel is geared towards families, each suite will have two bathrooms, making it the only hotel in the Riviera Maya, and one of the few in the world, to do so!


Update (21/7/2020) - Karisma Hotels and Resorts has revealed that Nickelodeon Hotels & Resorts Riviera Maya will feature a water park with 10 slides and a theater with a capacity for 500 people! Its also rumoured that travel agents will start taking bookings for Nickelodeon Hotels & Resorts Riviera Maya in October 2020 for a Spring 2021 opening!

Update (10/20) - The resort will reportedly be titled Nickelodeon Resort & Aqua Park Riviera Maya!

Update (23/4/2020) - Karisma Hotels and Resorts has revealed that the opening of Nickelodeon Hotels & Resorts Riviera Maya has been delayed slightly, and is now set to open in 2021.

Update (11/5) - Karisma Hotels and Resorts has revealed that the opening of Nickelodeon Hotels & Resorts Riviera Maya has been delayed slightly, and is now set to open towards the end of 2020. It's also been revealed that the resort will have a slime river.

Unfortunately, it's also been revealed that a construction worker has been injured in an accident on the construction site of Nickelodeon Hotels & Resorts Riviera Maya. The worker, who fell from a height whilst welding structure, has since been compensated 500 pesos.

Karisma Hotels and Resorts’ new Nickelodeon hotel in Mexico is now set to open in 2020. At the organization’s annual Gourmet Inclusive Vacation Consultants Awards (GIVC Awards), Travel Agent spoke with Kelly Poling, Karisma’s senior vice president of marketing, to learn the latest on what guests and agents can expect from the new property. The 11th annual GIVC Awards took place at the El Dorado Royale Riviera Maya, a Spa Resort by Karisma from December 5 – 8.


Nickelodeon Hotels & Resorts Riviera Maya

“When it opens it’s going to become our new flagship Nickelodeon hotel,” Poling says.

Situated next to Karisma’s Generations Riviera Maya property, the newbuild Nickelodeon Hotels & Resorts Riviera Maya will draw some design inspiration from its fellow family-friendly resort, Poling says. For example, its extra-large rooms will be configurable into one-, two- or three-bedroom suites to allow maximum flexibility for multigenerational groups, or families who wish to have a separate room for the kids. Every room will also have two bathrooms.

That said, the new hotel will also have plenty of Nickelodeon-themed features, as well.

“We’re making everything with Nickelodeon in mind,” Poling says.

SpongeBob's Pineapple House at Nickelodeon Hotels & Resorts Punta Cana

The popular SpongeBob SquarePants-themed Pineapple Villa from Karisma’s first Nickelodeon property in Punta Cana will be here. In a similar vein, there will also be a new, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles-themed “lair” Penthouse, as well. All told, there will be four character-themed Penthouse suites on the resort’s roof, all of which will have infinity pool swim-up access.

Another key selling point: “All of our rooms will be oceanfront,” says Poling. Additionally, every room – regardless of floor – will have swim-up access. In addition to the four Penthouses, there will be 276 Pad Suites and Flat Suites. The rooms will be set across two six-story buildings, in a design reminiscent of the Generations property.

Another major difference from the Punta Cana property will be the resort’s water park, which, at 500,000 square feet, will be much bigger. “It’s five to 10 times bigger than the one in Punta Cana,” says Poling.


Dubbed “Aqua Nick,” the new water park will have activities ranging from a lazy river to waterslides, a splash park and an interactive water playground for toddlers to mini relaxation pools. The variety of activities will be one way that the resort appeals to kids of multiple age ranges.

“The water park will be organized into different ‘lands,’” says Poling, with a more toddler-friendly land and a land with more thrill-type rides for teens.

“I think the Nickelodeon characters can appeal to kids of all ages as well,” Poling says, citing more young-kid-friendly characters like the pups from Paw Patrol and Dora the Explorer, as well as characters like SpongeBob, who can appeal to older kids.

The variety of activities could be a draw for repeat guests from the Punta Cana property, Polling hopes. “As children get older, they can ‘graduate’ to the Riviera Maya resort,” she says.

In terms of the resort’s culinary product, Poling says that the focus will be on experiential, social media-friendly venues and dishes.


“We know that people want to be able to see and capture amazing images, so we’ll have plenty of ‘Instagrammable’ dishes,” Poling says. “For example, at the Punta Cana property, we have the ‘Machete Burger’ – it’s so big, they have to cut it at the table with a giant machete. We’ll be carrying those types of things over to the Riviera Maya.”

All told the property will have six restaurants, including the Bikini Bottom fast-casual restaurant, the seafront Yacht Club, and the Mexican cantina Expadin, as well as four bars, including Bikini Bottom Bar, The Bar, and two swim-up bars. There will also be a Lobby Lounge that will aim to serve as a family-centric hub with music, entertainment and broadcasts of live sporting events. Much of the resort’s organic produce will be sourced from Karisma’s greenhouse, which is located next store at the El Dorado.

Karisma expanding with Nickelodeon, Margaritaville hotel brands

Karisma Hotels & Resorts is expanding its footprint in the Caribbean.

The hotel company, which has several resort brands under its umbrella, has already made quite the name for itself in the Mexican Caribbean as well as Jamaica and the Dominican Republic. When it comes to expanding, it is showing no signs of slowing down.

"We own a massive stretch of beach property, called Sugarcane Bay, in Jamaica," Kelly Poling, senior vice president of marketing for Karisma, told me. I was on location at the Gourmet Inclusive Vacation Consultant awards, Karisma's annual awards ceremony and marketing forum for its top-producing agents, held every year at El Dorado Royale just outside of Playa del Carmen, Mexico.

"We own a number of different plots," Poling said. The plan is to build "a complex of hotels, which will be a combination of Karisma-built hotels and others that will be built [separately] and that Karisma will manage."

Poling elaborated that this is the opportunity to build out the brands that Karisma is most focused on at the moment, Nickelodeon and Margaritaville, an All-Inclusive Experience by Karisma.

There is a Nickelodeon hotel in Punta Cana and one in construction in Riviera Maya, which will be located next to the Generations Riviera Maya property when it opens in 2020.

One of the first hotels to open in Sugarcane Bay, Jamaica, will be a Margaritaville. Poling said that the Margaritaville brand could be applied to almost any island on the Caribbean. "Jamaica is obvious," she said. "As it stands now, the first will open in Riviera Maya, but shortly thereafter it will open in Jamaica. We've looked at the entirety of the Caribbean that has hotel inventory, and we think that Margaritaville can be supported anywhere."

With that said, the plan is not to bring massive hotels to smaller islands. The primary reason that Karisma envisions Margaritaville on smaller islands is that the Margaritaville hotels are flexible, from small hotels of 100 to 200 rooms on up. "When we build in Jamaica and the Riviera Maya, the resorts will be large," Poling said. "But smaller islands with smaller room inventory are possible for a boutique offering."

As for Nickelodeon, the next one to open will be in Riviera Maya in 2020. This resort, with 276 oceanfront swim-up suites, as well as four signature Penthouses, will be the flagship property. It is being built from the ground up.

Karisma is looking at expansion opportunities for Nickelodeon all over Latin America, where Poling said brand awareness is strong.

Karisma commits to Riviera Maya growth

Karisma Hotels & Resorts continues to expand its presence in the Mexican Caribbean. At the company's 2018 Gourmet Inclusive Vacation Consultant (GIVC) awards and marketing forum last week, I learned about the company's aggressive growth plans for the region.

Karisma's latest property, Xolumado Inspiration Village, held a ribbon-cutting ceremony during GIVC. The village, which had its soft opening this month and will have its official opening in January, was announced at last year's conference. Tucked in the jungle behind Generations Riviera Maya, Xolumado Inspiration Village comprises 41 villas within 2.5 acres of a jungle retreat.

Surrounded by gardens and pathways, Xolumado Inspiration Village has cottages in three suite categories: Serenity Suites, which have palm thatched roofs, open terraces, and Mexican and Asian-inspired decor; the Zen Garden Suite, with a private balcony; and the Tranquility Suite, which comprises two adjoining Zen Garden Suites. The property also has a pool, access to beach cabanas, and the Xolumado Restaurant BBQ & Bar.

The vibe at Xolumado is tranquility and relaxation, with daily yoga and meditation, and a Shhh Experience complete with sound healing, outdoor breathing exercises and massage lessons. There are also Spanish and Mayan classes, Mexican cooking classes, tequila and mezcal tastings, movie nights in the jungle, pottery painting, diving and wine pairings. Guests can also access Generations Riviera Maya, including its five restaurants, three bars, lounges, pool and beach.

Karisma is also in the process of constructing Mexico's first Nickelodeon Hotel & Resort Riviera Maya, which will open in 2020 right next door to Generations Riviera Maya.

Nickelodeon already has a property in Punta Cana, but this will be the brand's first for Mexico. "This will be the flagship Nickelodeon," said Kelly Poling, senior vice president of marketing for Karisma. "As great as the Punta Cana property is, this hotel from pencil to paper was always going to be a Nickelodeon and I think it will be the best in the portfolio."

The resort will have 276 oceanfront swim-up suites, plus four Nickelodeon-themed signature Penthouses on top of the two six-story buildings. Penthouses are being designed in accordance with Nickelodeon characters like Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles and SpongeBob Square Pants. All four penthouses will have infinity pool swim-up access, and sky-high oceanfront views of the property's white-sand beach.

But the piece de resistance of this property will be Aqua Nick, a 500,000-square-foot water park, and one of the largest water parks in Mexico. Activities will include a lazy river, waterslides, splash park, an interactive water playground for toddlers and mini relaxation pools.

At the heart of the resort will be Nickelodeon Place, where guests of all ages can mingle with characters like Dora the Explorer and SpongeBob. Within the Place is Club Nick, a hangout for kids; Plaza Orange, for music and games; and MainStage, a theater for entertainment experiences. A spa has kids' treatments, individual suites, couple's suites, a bridal suite, and outdoor treatment areas.

Restaurants will be part of the Gourmet Inclusive Experience, from the seafront Yacht Club to the Mexican cantina, Espadin. The Bikini Bottom gourmet corner is a fast, casual, midday meal venue, and guests will also have access to the restaurants at Generations Riviera Maya.

"Nickelodeon has extreme brand awareness," said Poling. "When looking at where to expand we did a study on the entirety of Latin America. Nickelodeon reaches 25-30 percent of kids in Latin America. It's a vast household name." Karisma has plans to expand the brand across Latin America, but Poling specifically noted looking at Colombia, Brazil and Argentina.

Nickelodeon’s Future Plans

Karisma’s second Nickelodeon Hotels & Resorts property will open in the Riviera Maya in 2020. Mandy Chomat, chief sales and marketing officer at Karisma, said the project was set back a few months for various reasons, including delays in securing permits needed for the hotel’s main attraction, the water park.

This will follow the successful debut of Nickelodeon Hotels & Resorts Punta Cana, which Chomat said has been “booming” amongst both the U.S. Millennial market and the local Dominican Republic market since it opened in 2016.

Chomat said Karisma will officially be announcing the third location for Nickelodeon within the next six months, but told TravelPulse that Cartagena, Colombia could very likely be that destination.

Karisma already has three properties in Colombia, including two in Cartagena, all in the form of the company’s Allure Hotels, which are all high-end, boutique, EP properties. Allure Bonbon, by Karisma and Allure Chocolat are located in Cartagena, while Allure Cafe Mocawa is located in Armenia.

Rafael Feliz, chairman and CEO of Karisma, also added that Jamaica is also in consideration for the third location.

Although Nickelodeon will continue to have a growing presence in the Caribbean and Mexico, it appears the brand is heavily targeting Central and South American destinations.

“Let's just say we would love to have a Nickelodeon in every single country in Latin America,” said Chomat. “We are looking at every single country to see which ones would work and the best plans. We are always scouting land and always looking at places where we can get a lot of the domestic market in these locations.”

Feliz told TravelPulse that Peru, Brazil and Panama will all be scouted for possible Nickelodeon hotels. However, two Latin America destinations you might be able to cross off the list of potential Nickelodeon landing spots are Argentina and Ecuador, mainly due to obstacles the weather at each destination could pose for an outdoor resort, said Feliz. Feliz also told us Dubai is being looked into as a possible Nickelodeon destination.

Rienk de Jong, vice president of sales and marketing at Premier Worldwide Marketing / Karisma Hotels & Resorts, noted that many locals in the destinations Nickelodeon is eyeing do not have visas, making it even more likely that a heavy portion of Nickelodeon’s Latin America business will be domestic.

“Nickelodeon has a lot of brand recognition,” said de Jong, “and a lot of the destinations (in Latin America) have a lot of locals who don’t have visas, so they cannot travel to the U.S. for something like Nickelodeon.”

Riviera Maya: hotel Nickelodeon no abrirá hasta finales de 2020

El proyecto hotelero de cinco estrellas Nickelodeon, que se esperaba abriera sus puertas en el verano de 2018, no podrá abrir hasta finales del 2020, debido a la realización de una ampliación en las obras de su parque acuático, según informa la vicepresidenta de Grupo Lomas Travel, Samanta Frachey.

El proyecto de 276 habitaciones se construye en la zona norte del municipio, en los límites con el municipio de Puerto Morelos y cuenta con una inversión de 120 millones de dólares, que incluye la ampliación de este parque acuático. Se trata de un hotel temático con personajes de series infantiles como Bob Esponja, Las Tortugas Ninja y Dora la Exploradora.

Samanta Frachey ha señalado que se realizó una revisión de las obras del parque acuático que tendrá capacidad hasta para mil 200 personas. El hotel tiene el 60 por ciento de avance, el parque, no obstante, está al 45%, según informa Quintana Roo Hoy. Con la apertura de este hotel se prevé generar entre 600 y mil empleos directos, dependiendo de las estaciones y las temporadas.

El parque de agua, el más grande de la Riviera Maya, contará con cuatro series de toboganes: uno dedicado a los adultos, otra área especial para los niños, y dos ríos que son equivalentes a los que ya existen en la zona. Además de un río especial de slime. La propiedad tendrá todas las amenidades de un hotel 5 estrellas y cuatro diamantes bajo el esquema de todo incluido.

Por otro lado, cabe destacar que la marca Nickelodeon prevé desembarcar en Cartagena, Colombia, a finales de 2020, así como entrar en el mercado brasileño. Próximamente, también se abrirá el Margaritaville Island Reserve en Riviera Cancún, como ya informó REPORTUR.co (Karisma llevará la marca Nickelodeon a Cartagena).

Nickelodeon Shutters Nick Play App in the U.K.

Nickelodeon has discontinued the Nickelodeon Play app in the U.K.


Launched in the U.K. in November 2013 (originally titled the Nick App), the award-winning free Nickelodeon-branded app was aimed towards 6-12 year-olds and offered users short-form videos clips, games, and surprise elements via the Do Not Touch button from the network’s popular live action and animated series, with new content added regularly. Virgin Media customers could also unlock full episodes. The app, available to download for iOS and Android devices via the App Store and Google Play store, was later renamed Nick Play and integrated into the Viacom Play Plex suite of apps.

Users of the Nick Play app will still be able to find all the Nickelodeon content they love to watch and play on Nickelodeon UK's official YouTube channel, as well as full episodes on nick.co.uk and nicktoons.co.uk.

The Nick Play app has been removed from the Apple App Store search engine, however, the app continues to load as normal.

It also looks like Nick Jr. Play, Nick Play's sister app for preschoolers, has also shutdown, with the app no longer appearing in the Apple App Store search engine. Full episodes have moved online to nickjr.co.uk.


The news follows ViacomCBS Networks International (VCNI) closing the Nick Play app in certain regions, including in the Netherlands, Latin America and Brazil, and Australia and New Zealand, with content either moving online or to VOD partners. It's currently unclear whether the future of U.S. version of the service, the Nick App, will remain operational.

'Blue's Clues' Co-Creator Reveals That She Has the Lost Pilot

Blue's Clues' unaired pilot episode has become a much sought-after piece of lost media. And co-creator Angela C. Santomero says she has a copy!


Blue Prints, the original, unaired test pilot for Nick Jr.'s Blue's Clues, became a sought-after piece of lost media after its existence became widely known in 2006 -- and series co-creator Angela C. Santomero says she has a copy in her possession.

In a recent post to Instagram, Santomero shared a photo of herself alongside original Blue's Clues host Steve Burns on the set of the Blue Prints pilot, which she says was taken in 1994. Santomero added a comment to the post, which simply reads, "I have the PILOT!!!!"


The Lost Media Wiki currently categorizes Blue Prints as "partially found," as a small amount of footage is currently available to the public, though the episode has yet to ever be released in its entirety.

Following its completion, the pilot was screened exclusively for preschoolers in 1995, so as to test the show's interactive elements with its target audience. Blue Prints never aired on television and was largely unknown until 2006, when Nickelodeon released some footage from the pilot as part of a special celebrating Blue's Clues' 10th anniversary. There are a few noticeable differences between the pilot and the final show, such as the fact that Steve did not yet have his iconic green striped shirt.

Following the 2006 special, Blue's Clues fans scoured the internet in an attempt to locate a full version of Blue Prints, though ultimately came up empty-handed. Many years later, in 2020, Nick Jr. released a previously-unseen screenshot of the pilot's title card on its official social media pages.

It remains to be seen if Santomero will release Blue Prints to the public. Notably, there are potential legal issues that might stand in the way, especially if the pilot is still considered the intellectual property of Nickelodeon. Such legal issues have already prevented the release of Nickelodeon's original Drake & Josh pilot.

That said, Santomero releasing the Blue's Clues pilot wouldn't be entirely unprecedented. Johnny Quasar -- an early pilot from John A. Davis that would eventually evolve into his Nickelodeon creation Jimmy Neutron: Boy Genius -- was considered lost for years, until the eponymous character's original voice actor found the footage and shared it to YouTube.

Created by Santomero alongside Traci Paige Johnson and Todd Kessler, Blue's Clues officially premiered on Nick Jr. in 1996, running for a total of six seasons and concluding in 2006. Steve Burns hosted the series from 1996 to 2002 as the character Steve, with Donovan Patton taking over for the rest of the show's run as the character Joe, Steve's younger brother. Santomero and Johnson also created a spinoff titled Blue's Room, which aired from 2004 to 2007. Santomero, Johnson and Kessler returned in 2019 to create a reboot titled Blue's Clues & You!, with actor Joshua Dela Cruz hosting as the character Josh, Steve and Joe's cousin.

Today (Jan. 20) was an very important day in the United States of America, with Joseph R. Biden officially becoming the county's 46th president. To mark the occasion, actor Lily Collins today shared a special candid throwback photo on Instagram from when she covered Barack Obama’s inauguration for Nickelodeon in 2008!


Lily captioned the photo: "Happy Inauguration Day!

This is me at @barackobama’s inauguration in 2008 when I was reporting on the big day for Nickelodeon. It was freezing (hence being bundled up in emergency blankets!), but nothing was going to stop me from embracing such a monumental moment. Even at 18, I really felt the weight of that day - what it meant for us as a country and I was so excited to be there. Today is no different. I am beyond thrilled to see a new administration — President @joebiden and Vice President @kamalaharris — take office and start paving the way towards a brighter future. Hopeful that this is the beginning of some very good and necessary change..."

Lily previously posted a throwback photo in September 2020 from when she was working on Nickelodeon's Kids Pick the President for the 2008 U.S. election to celebrate National Voter Registration Day.

Joseph R. Biden is set to become the 46th president of the United States of America on January 20, 2021.
