Rob Gronkowski Is Ready to Host Nickelodeon’s Kids’ Choice Awards 2022

Get ready for energy, superstars, and lots of green slime when actress Miranda Cosgrove and NFL star Rob Gronkowski co-host Nickelodeon’s 2022 Kids’ Choice Awards!

The two will lead the charge in epic slimings and fun pranks as they celebrate fan-favorite stars from film, television, music, and sports.

Gronkowski sounds eager to take part, saying, “I’ve always been a kid at heart, so co-hosting the slimiest award show of the year will be an extraordinary time for me. I’m looking forward to bringing the fun that I have on and off the field to kids at home.”

Cosgrove added, “The Kids’ Choice Awards is such a unique show, with tons of energy, superstars, and, of course, lots of slime. Nickelodeon has always been my family, and to co-host this iconic show alongside Gronk will be a blast!”

Miranda got her big break in Hollywood, starring on the Nickelodeon show “iCarly,” which aired new episodes from 2007-2012. Though the show ended in 2021, she is reprising her role as Carly Shay on a reboot of the show.

The reboot focuses on Carly, Spencer, and Freddie navigating life as 20-somethings.  The second season is set to premiere April 8.

Cosgrove is up for Favorite Female TV Star, going up against Elizabeth Olsen, Hailee Steinfeld, Mary Mouser, Peyton List and Yara Shahidi.

Fans can start casting their votes in all the categories, starting today at KidsChoiceAwards.com!

Tune in to Nickelodeon on April 9 to see who wins a coveted Orange Blimp at Baker Hanger in Santa Monica.
