Nickelodeon South East Asia premiered All New All That, a revival of the Nickelodeon's iconic '90s sketch series featuring a talented and diverse group of comedians who reflect the spirit and humor of today’s generation of kids, on Saturday 11th January 2020 at 18:30 (SG/PH)!

Ranging in age from 12-15, each new All That cast member brings their own unique comedic skill to the show, from impressions of today’s biggest celebrities, to original characters inspired by their lives, to physical comedy sketches, revitalizing the series for today's audience. New original comedic sketches include “Cancelled with Nathan,” Bed, Bath & Beyoncé” and “Marie Kiddo.” Executive produced by original cast members Kenan Thompson and Kel Mitchell, All That will air regularly weekends at 18:30 (SG/PH) on Nickelodeon South East Asia.


The new Kids of Comedy are:

· Ryan Alessi – Born and raised in Chicago, Ryan Alessi, 14, began studying improv comedy at age eight with The Second City Improvisational Comedy Troupe. After moving to Los Angeles, he started studying with The Groundlings and developing his own characters and performing various impressions and accents.

· Reece Caddell – A Denver native, Reece Caddell, 12, started acting at the age of five and began performing sketch comedy when she started a YouTube channel with her two older sisters.

· Kate Godfrey – Kate Godfrey, 15, is an actress, singer and dancer from Scottsdale, Ariz. She began her career in her local community theater at the age of nine and was quickly accepted to the Broadway Youth Ensemble where she performed in New York City.

· Gabrielle Green – Gabrielle Green, 14, moved to Los Angeles to pursue her acting career after studying theatre at BAK Middle School of Performing Arts in West Palm Beach, Fla. Her credits include acting, voiceover work and working as a brand representative.

· Nathan Janak – Originally from Sugar Land, Texas, Nathan Janak, 14, began acting at six years old. In 2016, he participated in a nine-month intensive actor training program and later moved to Los Angeles. Janak has previously been seen as a guest star in Nickelodeon’s Henry Danger.

· Lex Lumpkin – Lex Lumpkin, 13, is an actor, singer, writer, impressionist and pianist from Indianapolis. His acting career began two years ago when he played the role of “Stuart” in the Indianapolis Repertory Theater’s production of Stuart Little.

· Chinguun Sergelen – Raised in Chicago, Chinguun Sergelen, 13, began acting at age nine. He is a Youth Ensemble member at The Second City Training Center Chicago and Laugh Out Loud Theater.

· Aria Brooks – Joining the cast for the second half of the new season will be Aria Brooks from Atlanta, Georgia. Brooks’ career is on the rise. She plays a younger version of Harriet Tubman in the upcoming film Harriet and will be featured in Netflix’s Dolly Parton’s Heartstrings anthology.

Shot in front of a live studio audience, this season of All That will see beloved roles are reprised in some of the series’ most memorable sketches including Mitchell as Good Burger's "Ed"; and Denberg as “Ms. Hushbaum,” the hypocritical “Loud Librarian.”

The season will also feature musical performances from today’s hottest artists, including JoJo Siwa, Young Dylan, Ciara, H.E.R., Ella Mai, Ally Brooke, Kane Brown, Bryce Vine, Daddy Yankee and CNCO, with surprise guests from the worlds of TV, film, comedy and more. The series will also host a Zoey 101 reunion, which will see Jamie Lynn Spears with fellow Zoey 101 castmates Paul Butcher, Sean Flynn, Kristin Herrera, Chris Massey, Erin Sanders and Matthew Underwood in an all-new version of the sketch “Thelma Stump.” Shot in Los Angeles, Calif. in November 2019, the new sketch features Spears reprising her role as the bacon-loving bodyguard who attempts to stop the All That cast members and stars of Zoey 101 from entering the set.

The series also features a appearance from Alisa Reyes, who, along with Mitchell, Thompson, Denberg and Server, helped make the original series a ‘90s icon for an entire generation of kids.

The show's iconic '90s theme song, "All That", performed by TLC also makes a welcome return.

All That was Nickelodeon’s longest running live-action series with 171 episodes across 10 seasons from 1994 to 2005. The franchise paved the way for a number of successful spinoffs, including: Kenan & Kel, The Amanda Show and The Nick Cannon Show; the feature-length film Good Burger; as well as audio recordings, books, festival tours, and numerous reunions celebrating the show’s impact on pop culture. All That was created by Brian Robbins and Mike Tollin.

All That helped launch the careers of comedy stars including Kenan Thompson, Amanda Bynes and Nick Cannon, and has featured musical guests and guest stars including Britney Spears, Justin Timberlake, Usher, Ray Romano (Everybody Loves Raymond), Brittany Snow, and Tia and Tamera Mowry from Sister, Sister.

All That is executive produced by Kenan Thompson (All That, Kenan & Kel, Good Burger, Saturday Night Live), Kel Mitchell (All That, Kenan & Kel, Good Burger, Sam & Cat, Game Shakers) and Kevin Kay (All That, SpongeBob SquarePants, Lip Sync Battle, Lip Sync Battle Shorties, Yellowstone). Jermaine Fowler (Superior Donuts, Sorry to Bother You) serves as a consulting producer. Production of All That for Nickelodeon is overseen by Shauna Phelan, Senior Vice President, Live-Action Scripted Content.

The All New All That made its world premiere on Nickelodeon USA on Saturday, June 15, at 8:30 p.m. (ET/PT).

UOB, Prudential Singapore and Nickelodeon Asia Team Up to Help Parents Discover and Develop Their Children’s Potential

UOB, Prudential Singapore and Nickelodeon Asia team up to help parents
discover and develop their children’s potential


Singapore, 26 December 2019 – United Overseas Bank (UOB) today announced it was making it easier for parents to discover and to nurture their child’s true potential through a partnership with Prudential Singapore and Nickelodeon Asia that will enhance the UOB KidSmart Programme.

The first step in the UOB KidSmart Programme is for children to take an online test to identify their natural abilities based on eight types of intelligences1. The five-minute test, which is based on the MIDAS™ (Multiple Intelligences Development Scales) aptitude assessment tool2, gives parents deeper insight into the unique strengths of their child. In the three years since the UOB KidSmart Programme was launched, more than 20,000 children have taken the test to find out their natural talents. Parents have then used the test results to partner UOB on a financial plan to nurture the development of their child’s particular intelligences. This has resulted in a 44 per cent increase in the average savings balance of three in five parents whose children have taken the test3.

However, seven in 10 customers are not yet using insurance solutions to protect and to grow their financial assets4. To help bridge this gap and to ensure that the plans for their children can weather rainy days, UOB has partnered Prudential Singapore to add a suite of protection and endowment plans to the UOB KidSmart Programme. This way, families will be covered against unforeseen events and can still take care of their child’s developmental needs.

Also new to the UOB KidSmart Programme is the launch of the Nickelodeon Academy of Smarts. UOB and Nickelodeon Asia have paired the eight different intelligences under the MIDAS™ framework with some of the most well-loved Nickelodeon characters. For example, the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles’ athleticism helps children understand what it means to be Body Smart; twin genie sisters Shimmer and Shine’s musicality and singing exemplify being Music Smart; Dora the Explorer’s love for the natural world embodies Nature Smart; while the rescue puppies from PAW Patrol represent People Smart through their close relationships with humans.

There will be online activities and on-ground activities and game booths at roadshows during school holidays, a statement said.

Ms Jacquelyn Tan, Head of Personal Financial Services Singapore, UOB, said, “UOB serves more than two in five5 young families6 in Singapore and from this experience we can see how parents strive to provide the best for their children. It is one of the reasons we created UOB KidSmart Programme three years ago and it is why we continue to enhance it by including like-minded partners such as Prudential Singapore and Nickelodeon Asia. By improving the way children identify their natural talents and helping parents protect and grow their wealth more holistically, we can ensure more Singaporean children reach their full potential.”

Mr Wilf Blackburn, CEO, Prudential Singapore, said, “We’re pleased to collaborate with our long-time bank partner, UOB and a new partner, Nickelodeon Asia to launch the Nickelodeon Academy of Smarts. This programme will help a child discover his potential and will help parents in planning better for their child’s future. It’s important to save and invest early for your child’s life milestones to give them a head start, as well as to put in place adequate medical and protection plans to buffer against life’s uncertainties.”


Ms Syahrizan Mansor, Vice President, Nickelodeon Asia, ViacomCBS Networks International said, “Kids always come first for Nickelodeon so naturally, making the world a more playful place is our mission. We want kids to explore their creativity so the Nickelodeon Academy of Smarts - in partnership with UOB and Prudential Singapore - is one way of incorporating play and Nickelodeon characters to help kids discover their abilities. We want kids to feel encouraged and empowered to find out more about their strengths through Nickelodeon-themed activities. For example, kids who have an affinity to nature and animals may identify as ‘Nature Smart’ through our microsite and align with Dora The Explorer, and will hence be drawn to activities that relate to the great outdoors and an adventurous spirit, to help them achieve their goals.”

In addition to the MIDAS™ assessment tool, the UOB KidSmart Programme website at www.uob.com.sg/kidsmart features an online financial goal planner to help parents chart a suitable financial plan to support their children’s development. Parents can also access deals for a range of enrichment activities for their children linked to the different types of intelligences. Children are encouraged to discover more about their intelligences through Smart task sheets found on the Nickelodeon Academy of Smarts microsite at www.nickelodeon.com/academyofsmarts. Nickelodeon Asia, Prudential Singapore and UOB have organised a series of activities as part of their year-long partnership. For example, in 2020, UOB Wealth Banking customers will be able to enrol their children in exclusive masterclasses held at selected UOB Wealth Banking Centres. The children will be able to explore their intelligences through activities such as creating stop motion videos, augmented reality clips and digital music.

– Ends –

1 The eight intelligences are Body Smart (Kinesthetic); Logic Smart (Logical Mathematical); Music Smart (Musical); Nature Smart (Naturalist); People Smart (Interpersonal); Picture Smart (Spatial); Self Smart (Intrapersonal); and Word Smart (Linguistic).

2 Created by Dr Branton Shearer in 1987, the MIDAS tool is based on the theory of multiple intelligences developed by Dr. Howard Gardner (Hobbs professor of cognition and education, Harvard Graduate School of Education)

From The Straits Times:

Discover and support your children’s talents with the UOB KidSmart Programme

Set your kids on the right path to help them boost their natural talents and to maximise their potential

Parental support is crucial in helping to nurture and to develop a child’s talent. But how does one begin?

For many parents in Singapore, it involves an “all-in” approach of exposing their children to a plethora of enrichment classes and activities to cover as many aspects of growth as possible. However, this approach may not work for all as every child learns and grows differently.

THE UOB KIDSMART PROGRAMME

United Overseas Bank (UOB) wants to make it easier for parents to identify their children’s individual talents, as financial planning plays a crucial role in supporting their children’s growth and development.

The bank recently partnered with Prudential Singapore and Nickelodeon Asia to enhance the UOB KidSmart Programme with the Nickelodeon Academy of Smarts.

The Nickelodeon Academy of Smarts is an activity-based programme which includes an online assessment tool to help identify each child’s unique smarts, as well as a series of task sheets designed around popular Nickelodeon characters that children can relate to.

These task sheets can help parents observe how their children naturally learn and shine in certain areas.

DISCOVERING YOUR KIDS’ SMARTS

First, parents can identify their children’s strengths through a complimentary MIDAS online assessment.

Specially developed for the UOB KidSmart Programme, this assessment measures each child across distinct forms of intelligence, termed the eight “smarts” — Body, Logic, Music, Nature, People, Picture, Self and Word.

Each “smart” that a child scores highly in represents an area of intelligence that they naturally gravitate towards.

LEARNING MADE FUN WITH NICKELODEON

Once parents have completed the MIDAS online assessment, they can download task sheets corresponding to their child’s “smarts”.

Each task sheet is tied to a particular “smart” and associated characters from well-loved Nickelodeon shows.

For instance, the Music Smart task sheet is associated with Nickelodeon television series Shimmer and Shine. Like the twin genie sisters Shimmer and Shine, children who are “music smart” are able to think in sounds, rhythms, melodies and rhymes. On the other hand, the lovable puppies of PAW Patrol which have close relationships with humans will connect with children who are “people smart” as they are able to understand how others think and feel.

The task sheets incorporate hands-on activities that children can complete with their family. These include arts and crafts, personal projects, and physical exercises that help kids explore their smarts.

ENABLING PARENTS TO ACHIEVE THEIR GOALS

For parents, the enhanced UOB Kidsmart Programme offers not only insight into their children’s natural talents, but also an opportunity to ensure that they learn and develop holistically.

Together with Prudential Singapore, UOB also offers insurance and other financial solutions to help parents plan for their children’s growth and education.

Ms Jacquelyn Tan, head of Personal Financial Services, UOB, says: “As UOB serves more than two in five young families in Singapore, we can see how parents strive to provide the best for their children.

“It is one of the reasons we created the UOB Kidsmart Programme three years ago and it is why we continue to enhance it by including like-minded partners such as Prudential Singapore and Nickelodeon Asia.

“By improving the way children identify with their natural talents and helping parents protect and grow their wealth more holistically, we can ensure more Singaporean children reach their full potential.”

Get started with the MIDAS online assessment tool on www.uob.com.sg/kidsmart and visit www.nickelodeonasia.com/academyofsmarts to download the task sheets.

AS PART OF THEIR YEAR-LONG PARTNERSHIP, UOB, PRUDENTIAL SINGAPORE AND NICKELODEON ASIA ARE ORGANISING A SERIES OF ROADSHOWS. CHILDREN CAN PARTICIPATE IN FUN GAMES AND ACTIVITIES AT THESE ROADSHOWS AND COMPLETE THE FINAL TASKS IN THEIR TASK SHEETS TO RECEIVE CORRESPONDING NICKELODEON CHARACTER PINS.

Mexican 'The Loud House' Voice Actor Andrea Arruti Passes Away Aged 21

Mexican voice-over actor Andrea Arruti, who voiced Sid Chang in the Latin American Spanish dub of The Loud House, has sadly passed away aged 21 due to respiratory complications.


The young Latina became a well-known voice actress after she brought life to the Spanish version of Elsa in the animated film Frozen, Diamond Tiara in My Little Pony, Neeko in Leauge of Legends, among other characters.

According to a published article in We Are Mitu, the Mexican actor died due to health complications that slowly weakened her body over the past few months, eventually causing her untimely death which caused sorrow to her fans.

The Mexican actor died on Friday, January 3, 2020, just days after the New Year began. Information about her death was not confirmed this week until some companies Arruti worked with expressed their condolences to the family. Her family then decided to share the news about her death to confirm her death and appease rumors revolving around the industry.

The family posted on her Facebook page: “On behalf of the family of Andy Arruti we extend a sincere thanks for the affection and solidarity after her death in a hospital in this city. After seeing some speculation about what happened, both in the media and in social networks, we want to point out that Andrea died due to a respiratory complication that weakened her body during the last months."

Moreover, the family also clarified that the Mexican actress was not involved in any form of addiction and that she was an exemplary person. On her Facebook page the family wrote, "Throughout this period it was sought for their well-being and was duly attended by specialists. For her part, she did everything in her power to meet her health status and fulfill her family, school and professional commitments in a normal way. Andrea was an exemplary person who had no addiction and those who knew her can realize that she was always a cheerful young woman."

"We appeal to your understanding at this difficult time and ask you in the most attentive way to allow us to take the duel remembering her as the luminous person she was."

The League of Legends where the Mexican actress worked with as a voice actor of Neeko also expressed their condolences through their Twitter account, "We regret the death of Andrea Arruti, who lent her voice to Neeko, and we extend our condolences to her loved ones," And people in the entertainment industry mourned and expressed also their condolences to the family of Andrea Arruti.

Arruti also worked in Phineas and Ferb as the voice actress of Brigette. She has been working in the entertainment industry for quite a long time. And her voice has been immortalized through different animated films and series.

Aside from acting, Arruti was a dancer and was seen collaborating with her sister Tamara Arruti who is also a respected dancer and choreographer. In the video below taken in 2018, the two sisters are seen dancing in unison.


Fans of the late Mexican actor lamented after hearing the news and remembered her as a cheerful and talented person. Her close friends and the people she worked with like actor Emilio Trevino, also shared loving messages.


Trivino wrote on his Twitter account, "Life undoubtedly surprises us in tough and unexpected ways, sometimes. I'll miss you a lot."

Emilio Treviño also paid tribute to Arruti on his Instagram account, saying, “No doubt sometimes life surprises us in strong and unexpected ways … look for a reason or why it is absurd because they are answers that we will never really have and I do not expect to have them. However, I think that today it is more important to remember all those beautiful things that I lived with you … because those are the ones that really matter at the end of everything.”

He added, “We grew up together … so many shared experiences and dreams that I don’t know where to start. Thank you for all the nights talking about our dreams and how we would reach them…Thank you for living with me a love story so unconditional, magical, sincere, fun and vulnerable when we recorded “Anne with an E” …. listening to you in each shot was very special for me. No doubt that character reflected much of you. You know you will always be my only and irreplaceable Anne❤️.”

Don't miss Nickelodeon's brand new animated series It’s Pony, premiering Saturday, Jan. 18 at 11:30 a.m. (ET/PT) following the all new SpongeBob SquarePants special "Escape from Glove World" at 11, only on Nick USA!







Update (1/16) - Check out a HOOFsome sneak peek from It's Pony on ComingSoon.net!

Life is more exciting, fun, and unpredictable with a pony, as seen in Nickelodeon’s new original animated series It’s Pony, premiering Saturday, Jan. 18. The 20-episode series follows the comedic adventures of Annie and her best friend, who just so happens to be an enthusiastic, unpredictable, and carefree pony. Following its premiere, It’s Pony will continue to air Saturdays on Nickelodeon and will air internationally in April 2020.

The series stars Jessica DiCicco (Adventure Time) as Annie, an optimistic and determined farm girl living in the city with her family and best friend Pony; Josh Zuckerman (Strange Angel) as Pony, who is naïve and impulsive, but loves Annie more than anything; Abe Benrubi (E.R.) as Dad, who treats Pony as a nuisance, but recognizes the special bond he shares with Annie; and India de Beaufort (All Hail King Julien) as Mom, who loves Annie and Pony’s relationship and always has a new project in the works.

Additional cast members bringing characters to life include: Kal Penn (Harold & Kumar Go to White Castle) as Annie’s friend Fred; Bobby Moynihan (Saturday Night Live) as Annie’s friend Brian; Rosario Dawson (Rent) as Annie’s school principal Ms. Ramiro; Mark Feuerstein (Royal Pains) as the landlord Mr. Pancks; Megan Hilty (Smash) as the too-obsessed-with-Pony friend Beatrice.

Throughout the season, the series will explore the everyday life and hijinks of two best friends whose optimism and enthusiasm turn any situation from ordinary to extraordinary. Whether making an epic quest down the street to mail a letter, heroically saving the local playground with a bake sale, or simply getting a haircut, Pony and Annie always stick together because life is better as a pair.

Created by Ant Blades, It’s Pony is inspired by a short from Nickelodeon’s 2015 International Animated Shorts Program. A pre-released episode is available to watch on the Nick App, Nick On Demand, YouTube and here on NickALive!.
