I’d like to say Hogan is the only wrestler to win a KCA, but I’m pretty sure The Rock won at least one for a movie role. Do we count that?

In addition to this and Double Dare, Heenan also made an appearance on What Would You Do?--a clip I can't find on a basic Youtube search.

Well I found the first Kids Choice Awards. Since it is the whole show, I won't embed it. If you seen some of the early MTV Video Music Awards like I have, and expect it to be as good, you are in for a major disappointed. It is taped, and it is obviously taped. Some of the skits does feel like early All That, consider who is in those skits, that should not be a surprise. www.youtube.com/watch?v=l9zp-Bkp-QI

I seem to remember a Kids Choice when I was younger where one of the on going bits was Macho Man and Kenan Thompson playing mini golf.

I am going to be honest, watching the First KCA was a major chore to get through. Having to watch every available KCA show ever, I can only imagine the sacrifice. This is not the VMAs, that is for dam sure.

Another Are You Afraid of the Dark Sample Platter episode is next. Looks to be Tale of the Bookish Babysitter. Seems like it's one Greg wasn't fond of, or at least has a vastly different opinion from the requester.

So who watched the first Kids Choice Awards which link I posted before? I do think the back stage skits they are very All That like. And right down to the way Ross was used. This Ross was more timid and a buffoon. He is more like Kevin from All Than than the Ross from You Can't Do That on Television, who has more authority over the kids, often conning them out of money, and very crafty. Tell me what do you think. Is Ross out of the character in this?

I'm suddenly reminded that as a kid I won a Count Duckula comic book by doing the "Nick or Treat" promotion.

Finding out Duckula was a Nickelodeon co-production was a bit mindblowing for me considering how much that likely wouldn't have been shown here at the end credits since it was firmly a ITV show at the time but it made sense with all the context surrounding it.
I mean, this whole series has brought some weird contexts to light. Like how Finders Keepers was pulled off better here than it was in the US when, like, you would have thought that'd be an easy smash hit in America.

Man, what an annoying time it was when the grown ups talked shit about everything you liked and there wasn't anything you could do because you're a kid who didn't have the knowledge or experience required to debate it and media didn't give air time to those who could because it didn't fit the message. At least nowadays we got Twitter to call out the bullshit.

I wonder if he’s going to cover the first time Nick picks the President. The first video that he has in the Dr. Snuggles video has a girl that says that Nick will open the phone lines on Tuesday, November 1st at 4:30pm Central time and last four hours concluding at the end of Double Dare (which aired at 7:30p Eastern time.) if you do the math, you can tell she made a blunder in the ad and Nick kept it in.
Also during the 1992 Kids Pick The President, the first phone line they gave out in the ad was the WRONG number (and they even mentioned it during the times that the lines were open during the closing credits of one of the shows.) So when the ad aired during the rest of the day, they did a real obvious overdub. Then, Nick announcer (Wendell Craig) said: “Call 1-800…” (other announcer mentions the real last seven digits of the phone line) and after that, Wendell’s part is joined in progress. I am wondering what that other line was for. If it was for a sex line, I can imagine there was a LOT of panic going on behind the scenes.

Going to be a delay on videos for the future due to computer issues.
