Adam Sandler is truly the king of comedy, and Nickelodeon will honor the star with a very special award at this year’s KCAs.
Recognized for his prolific career in comedy as an actor, writer, producer, comedian and musician over the past 30 years, Sandler will accept the first-ever King of Comedy Award during the 2023 Kids’ Choice Awards from a giant, opulent throne on the KCA stage before getting decimated in Nickelodeon’s iconic Slime.
Sandler is no stranger to Nickelodeon, having won ten coveted Kids’ Choice Awards orange blimps over the years, for both his voiceover work in animated movies and acting roles in comedies. He has also won eight People’s Choice Awards, five MTV Movie Awards and a Gotham Award for his work as Stanley Sugerman in Netflix’s Hustle. His role as Howard Rather in the Sadie Bros.’ critically-acclaimed film Uncut Gems garnered Sandler several nominations and awards, including winning the National Board of Review and the Independent Spirit Award.
Sandler joins a growing list of celebrities that will be in attendance at the KCAs, including Bebe Rexha, who will perform her song “I’m Good (Blue),” Awkwafina, Halle Bailey, Pete Davidson, Peyton List, Melissa McCarthy, MrBeast, Chris Pine, Anthony Ramos, Michelle Rodriguez, Seth Rogen, and superstar content creators Michael Le, Bella Poarch and Lil Uzi Vert.
Fans can still cast their vote for their favorites at KidsChoiceAwards.com that include first-time nominees Jenna Ortega, Jack Harlow, GAYLE, Joji, Nicky Youre and Letitia Wright among others. Leading the pack with six nods is Stranger Things, followed by That Girl Lay Lay, High School Musical: The Musical: The Series and The Fairly OddParents: Fairly Odder with four nominations each.
