Nickelodeon superstar JoJo Siwa is a YouTube personality, singer, dancer, entrepreneur, social media influencer, The New York Times bestselling author and star on Nickelodeon’s Lip Sync Battle Shorties. Siwa connects with her fans through many channels: via social media she has over 9.4 million subscribers with over 2.1 billion views on YouTube, she has over 8.1 million followers on Instagram, over 425,000 Twitter followers, over 17.4 million followers on TikTok (formerly Musical.ly), and over 534,000 likes on Facebook; through her SIWANATOR club, which stands against negativity and bullying; through her global reach of consumer products including her signature bows, accessories, apparel, arts and crafts, cosmetics, home goods and party supplies; and with her hugely popular singles, “Boomerang,” which has been viewed over 682 million times and is RIAA certified platinum, “Kid in a Candy Store,” “Hold The Drama,” and “High Top Shoes”

Siwa will also take the stage at this year’s Nickelodeon SlimeFest--a two-day family-friendly music festival held in Chicago, Ill., at Huntington Bank Pavilion at Northerly Island on June 8 and 9--along with Pitbull, Bebe Rexha and T-Pain. Siwa helped kick off Nickelodeon’s inaugural U.S. SlimeFest last year, where she performed in front of over 24,000 fans.

Siwa recently won her third Kids’ Choice Award for “Favorite Social Music Star.” Her previous Choice Awards include “Favorite Viral Music Artist” in 2017 and “Favorite Musical YouTube Creator” in 2018. She also performed at Kids’ Choice Mexico 2018.

In November, Siwa released her first EP, D.R.E.A.M. The Music, featuring four new songs: “D.R.E.A.M,” “My Story,” “Everyday Popstars” and “Only Getting Better.” The music video for “D.R.E.A.M.” was released on Siwa’s YouTube channel and to date has garnered over 40 million views. Just last month, Siwa dropped her latest single, “Bop.” The accompanying music video has already accumulated over 4.4 million views on her YouTube channel.

In 2016, Nickelodeon and Siwa entered an exclusive licensing partnership to develop a line of consumer products inspired by Siwa. Categories span toys, apparel, accessories, consumer electronics, Halloween costumes and more. To date, over 50 million JoJo Bows have been sold. Siwa’s consumer products are available internationally, including the UK, Canada, Australia and Mexico.

Siwa launched her first animated shorts series, The JoJo & BowBow Show Show starring Siwa and her furry best friend BowBow, during Fall 2018, and a second season is now in development, slated to debut later this year. She also works alongside Nick Cannon in Nickelodeon’s hit competition series Lip Sync Battle Shorties. She has also appeared on various Nickelodeon live-action series including School of Rock and The Thundermans. Siwa performed a medley of hits at Nickelodeon’s 2018 Kids’ Choice Awards, including her triple-platinum smash “Boomerang.” She also won two blimps for Favorite Viral Music Artist in 2017 and Musical YouTube Creator in 2018. Last summer, she performed at Nickelodeon’s 2018 Kids’ Choice Awards Mexico.

Are You Smarter Than A 5th Grader | Pop Quiz w/ Host John Cena | Nickelodeon USA

Nickelodeon is bringing back the iconic family game show Are You Smarter Than A 5th Grader with all-new episodes! Hosted by WWE legend John Cena, the brand-new series of Are You Smarter Than A 5th Grader premieres Monday, June 10, 2019 on Nickelodeon USA! Are you wearing your smarty pants today? See if you can ace Nick's general knowledge pop quiz below! And... GO!


Nickelodeon: Are You Smarter Than A 5th Grader Q&A from Larry Tempesta on Vimeo.

How did you do? Let me know in the comments below, and make sure to catch Are You Smarter Than A 5th Grader, premiering Monday, June 10, 2019, only on Nick!

Nickelodeon’s new Are You Smarter Than A 5th Grader follows the original premise of adult contestants putting their knowledge to the test by answering questions taken directly from elementary school curriculum. New game elements will be added to the show, including an additional “cheat” option, new ways contestants can enlist the help of their grade-school classmates, as well as a “final exam,” where contestants must answer a question from each grade in a race against the clock.

Are You Smarter Than A 5th Grader begun production at Universal Studios Hollywood in Los Angeles this spring.

Nickelodeon announced plans to revive Are You Smarter Than A 5th Grader as part of Nickelodeon's 2019 Upfront, and forms part of the network's slate of new programming for the whole family.

Nick’s insights reveal that family time is the most important passion point for kids and parents today, with their top priority being to spend time together and look for opportunities through shared experiences. Today’s families state that watching TV together is their favorite activity, corresponding to the current 10-year high in co-viewing, where 44% of kids’ viewing is with an adult. To capture co-viewing opportunities, Nick is producing shows with built-in appeal to every family member, including: The Substitute (hidden camera prank show), Are You Smarter Than A 5th Grader (reboot), Are You Afraid of the Dark? (revival miniseries) and All That (revival).

For the reboot of Are You Smarter Than A 5th Grader, host and WWE superstar John Cena will also serve as an executive producer. Mark Burnett, Chairman of Worldwide Television, MGM (Survivor, The Voice) and Barry Poznick, President, Unscripted Television, MGM (Beat Shazam, The World's Best) will return as executive producers of the reboot, which places kids squarely in the center of the action.

This Saturday May 18th is Swimways National Learn to Swim Day™. This year, Swimways has expanded its program internationally and teamed up with the six heroic PAW Patrol™ pups to convey the importance, benefits and fun of learning to swim to kids around the world.

"While swimming is an important life skill for kids to learn, it's also a fun activity for families to enjoy together," said Monica Jones, Vice President of Marketing, Swimways Corp. "Swimways is passionate about making sure kids are safer in and around the water, and believes the pool should be a special place where families and friends can connect and relax."

Official Swimways Corp. Press Release via PR Newswire:

Swimways Encourages Families To Make Water Safety a Priority As Its International Learn to Swim Day™ Program Approaches

Swimways Expands Its National Learn to Swim Day™ Program Internationally to Help Tackle the Leading Cause of Unintentional Death for Children Ages One to Four

VIRGINIA BEACH, Va., May 14, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- With the launch of its International Learn to Swim Day™ program approaching on Saturday, May 18, Swimways Corp., a subsidiary of Spin Master (TSX: TOY; www.spinmaster.com) is encouraging parents and caregivers to take steps to ensure their kids learn to swim not only for fun, but for their safety. Held on the third Saturday of May each year, Swimways founded its National Learn to Swim Day™ program in 2012. This year, Swimways has expanded its program internationally and teamed up with the six heroic PAW Patrol™ pups to convey the importance, benefits and fun of learning to swim to kids around the world.


According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, drowning is the leading cause of unintentional death for children ages one to four, and the second-leading cause for children under 14. Furthermore, according to research conducted by the USA Swimming Foundation, 64% of African-American, 45% of Hispanic/Latino, and 40% of Caucasian children have little to no swimming ability.

"While swimming is an important life skill for kids to learn, it's also a fun activity for families to enjoy together," said Monica Jones, Vice President of Marketing, Swimways Corp. "Swimways is passionate about making sure kids are safer in and around the water, and believes the pool should be a special place where families and friends can connect and relax."

For the past three years, Swimways has partnered with the USA Swimming Foundation, the philanthropic arm of the national sports governing body, whose mission is to save lives and build champions – in the pool and life. Elizabeth Beisel, two-time Olympic medalist and USA Swimming Foundation Ambassador is serving as the spokesperson for Swimways' International Learn to Swim Day™ program this year.

"One of the most special, lifesaving gifts a parent can give their child is teaching them how to swim," said Elizabeth Beisel. "With the summer swimming season quickly approaching, it's vital to spread the message about the importance and benefits of learning to swim."

The benefits of learning to swim don't stop with fun and safety. According to a national survey commissioned by Swimways¹, more than 4 out of 5 parents understand that learning to swim by age 5 increases a child's self-confidence, but 88% of parents are unaware that it can also aid in the development of mathematical skills. In addition, only 14% understand it can help develop oral expression, and less than half understand that it can boost children's social skills.

To celebrate Swimways' International Learn to Swim Day™ events, Beisel recommends these activities for parents and caregivers:

- Get educated with the best resources available:
-- For learn to swim and water safety resources, visit www.teachmetoswim.com
-- To find swim lessons in your area, parents and caregivers can visit www.usaswimmingfoundation.org to see a list of USA Swimming Foundation Make a Splash Local Partner swim lesson providers
--- Participation in formal swimming lessons can reduce the likelihood of childhood drowning by 88% (Archive of Pediatrics and Adolescent Medicine, 2009)

- Incorporate swim training gear, water toys, pool floats and pool games to make learning to swim a fun activity for the whole family to enjoy together
-- To help kids learn to swim, Swimways has developed the Swim Steps program, which offers products for all skill levels, from water introduction to water exploration to swim training. Products range from infant and baby pool floats in Swim Step 1, to swim trainer life jackets in Swim Step 2, to graduated swim training vests in Swim Step 3. Families can learn more about Swimways and its Swim Steps products by visiting www.Swimways.com.

- Practice, practice, practice! In order to develop a love of the water and a comfort with swimming, children need to consistently practice in order to enhance their skills and boost their confidence in the water

To celebrate Swimways' International Learn to Swim Day™ events, countries across the globe are partnering with local water safety organizations, joining up with the PAW Patrol™ pups, and promoting the Swimways Swim Steps and PAW Patrol™ learn to swim products, in an effort to spread the message of the importance of learning to swim.

In the United States specifically, Leslie's Pool Supplies, Service and Repair will kick off its Pool Safety Campaign in support of the USA Swimming Foundation at an Aqua-Tots Swim Schools location in Phoenix. Local children will receive free swim lessons from two-time Olympic medalist and USA Swimming Foundation Ambassador, Jessica Hardy, play and pose with PAW Patrol™ characters and more. Additional celebrations include Hardy and the PAW Patrol pups throwing out the first pitch at the Arizona Diamondbacks baseball game on Sunday, May 19.

¹The Swimways Survey was conducted by Wakefield Research among 1,000 nationally representative U.S. parents with children under 18 living in the home, between April 3 and April 6, 2018, using an email invitation and an online survey. Results for the interviews conducted in this survey are accurate to within plus or minus 3.1 percentage points with a 95% certainty.

From The Hollywood Reporter:

JoJo Siwa Talks Birthday Special, Tour and Bows With Her 7-year-old "Biggest Fan"

The social media star and singer's tour kicks off Friday, followed by the premiere of her birthday special Saturday on Nickelodeon.
It's not every day that you turn 16, and when you're a social media sensation and Nickelodeon star, you have to celebrate in the biggest way possible. JoJo Siwa filmed 24 hours in her life as she celebrates her milestone birthday, which will air as a special titled JoJo’s Dream Birthday at 8:30 p.m. Saturday on Nickelodeon.

And when your 7-year-old daughter — self-described as Siwa's "biggest fan, really big, like infinity big" — gets a chance to interview her idol, you don't pass up that opportunity.

On the red carpet ahead of the filming in Hollywood, and in a follow-up interview after the taping of the special, Brianna Nordyke asked Siwa questions about her birthday special, along with her upcoming tour, D.R.E.A.M: The Tour, which kicks off Friday in Phoenix before heading to the Microsoft Theater in downtown Los Angeles on Saturday. The tour will then travel to other major venues around the country in cities including Seattle, Denver, St. Louis, Minneapolis, Chicago, Baltimore, New York, Nashville, Boston and Atlanta. It wraps up Sept. 17 in Grand Prairie, Texas.

With guidance from mom Kimberly (online managing editor at The Hollywood Reporter), Brianna also put her interviewing skills to the test. Some of her most burning questions were nixed for obvious reasons ("Where do you live?" "What's your phone number?"), while several others made the cut. (See some of her questions written out in the image below.)

The party itself featured lots of candy, lots of balloons and lots of unicorns (as fans know, Siwa loves unicorns), in addition to gourmet donuts with toppings of your choice, specialty drinks served in cups that looked like silver disco balls, ping-pong tables featuring paddles with Siwa's picture and a huge "birthday card" where attendees could sign and leave birthday wishes for the Lip Sync Battle Shorties star. (Among the attendees were Siwa's mom Jessalynn, whom fans will recognize from Siwa's breakout show Dance Moms, and Fuller House's Jodie Sweetin.)

Says Brianna of the birthday party: "It was good. It had candy, which was my favorite. I loved the cake; that was pretty cool [we won't spoil the surprise here of how the cake was decorated other than to say it was certainly one of a kind]. I also liked the drink cups. They were disco balls. And we got to have donuts. Everything was pink. It was pretty cool seeing JoJo. I got to take a picture of me with JoJo and a JoJo bow. She was really nice and pretty. She was pretty tall for her age. She was so tall that she was looking 23 but she's only 16. It was awesome that I got to ask her questions."

Here are the questions that Brianna asked Siwa (along with a couple thrown in by Kimberly):

What can fans expect to see on your birthday special?

Fans can expect crazy, fun adventures, super special guests, big surprises and the best 16th birthday ever. Along the way, fans will see me go-kart racing, indoor skydiving and more.

The special is called JoJo's Dream Birthday. Was it the birthday party you've always dreamed about?

It was the most epic 24 hours of my life! I couldn’t have imagined a better party. I was really lucky to have party planners and Nickelodeon to really bring my vision to life. From the cake to the décor, everything was perfect! The best part was having all of my friends and family celebrate together.

How much candy did you have at your party?

Too much candy to count. I felt like a "Kid in a Candy Store"! [That's the title of one of her songs.]

Was BowBow there? [BowBow is Siwa's dog, a teacup Yorkie, who is also featured in an animated series from Nickelodeon.]

Yes, it wouldn’t be a JoJo party without BowBow!

What's your tour like?

The tour is an absolute dream. Fans can expect all of their favorite songs, and of course a super entertaining dance performance. I’m really lucky because I have been working with an amazing team, from choreographer to creative director, and all of my dancers are awesome. We have been giving it our all during rehearsals. It’s going to be an awesome show.

How do you get ready to perform?

I drink tea, do vocal warm-ups, stretch and give a pep talk to everyone performing with me.

How many songs are you going to have?

Fans can expect to see me perform "D.R.E.A.M.," "Boomerang," "Bop!," "Kid in a Candy Store" and "High Top Shoes." You’ll have to wait and see what else I perform!

How many bows do you have? [Siwa has a wildly successful merch line that features, among other offerings, her signature bow in numerous colors and patterns.]

Definitely over 1,000!

What advice can you give me to start my own YouTube channel? [Siwa has nearly 9.7 million subscribers to her YouTube channel.]

Don’t be afraid to be yourself! Also know that starting your own channel is a lot of work, but definitely worth all the fun.
