Alex Warren to host Kids' Choice Awards as Taylor Swift leads nominations
Alex Warren will host Nickelodeon's 39th annual Kids' Choice Awards on 14 November.
The singer has the top job on the night, introducing the awards and keeping the show moving, Variety reported. His booking was announced alongside this year's nominations. He will lead a 90-minute live ceremony.
The show will air live from Los Angeles on CBS and Nickelodeon. That means viewers can watch the same broadcast on a free-to-air network and a pay-TV children's channel at the same time. Premium subscribers, meaning those on the higher-priced Paramount+ plan, can also stream it live from 8-9:30 p.m. ET.
Taylor Swift leads all individual nominees with six nominations. She sits ahead of the rest of the field. Ariana Grande and Sabrina Carpenter are next, with five nominations each.
The 2026 awards will recognise talent across 36 categories. That is the full slate of prizes handed out on the night. Three categories are new for this edition. They are Watch Party: Kids' Choice, Favorite On-Screen Duo/Trio and Favorite Clutch Player of the Year.
The ceremony is produced by Done + Dusted, the production company behind the broadcast. Fan voting is now open. That vote decides who takes home the prizes.
For fans, this means the power is in their hands first. Vote now. Then tune in on 14 November to find out who wins.
