NEW Game Show Series Trailer ft. Host GUAVA JUICE 🎉 SpongeBob SmartyPants
ARE YA READY, KIDS? Coming soon to the SpongeBob SquarePants Official YouTube channel is the FIRST EVER official SpongeBob game show! Hosted by YouTuber Roy 'Guava Juice' Fabito, contestants will go head-to-head to test their knowledge, skill, and SquarePants-ery to win the coveted Golden Pineapple!
Guava Juice Hosts New Nickelodeon “SpongeBob SmartyPants” Digital Series
SpongeBob SmartyPants, a brand-new weekly game show, debuts Sat. Dec. 21 on Nickelodeon’s SpongeBob SquarePants’ YouTube channel. Hosted by YouTuber Roi ‘Guava Juice’ Fabito, this 5-episode series features contestants going head-to-head to test their knowledge and skill on all things SpongeBob for a chance to win the coveted Golden Pineapple.
Roi Fabito, known as ‘Guava Juice,’ is the Nickelodeon for today’s digitally connected kids and families. With over 14.6-Million subscribers and 6.4-Billion views on his main YouTube channel ‘Guava Juice,’ Roi has mastered the art of creating captivating content and successful entrepreneurship. Known for his insane challenges, bathtub experiments, silly DIYs, and random shenanigans – he has been able to capture the hearts of many and remind us that we should always embrace our inner child.
Roi has been recognized in and outside of the media as a top creator and entrepreneur. This year alone he has received nominations for the Teen Choice Awards, Kids Choice Awards, Streamy Awards and Shorty Awards. Additionally, he recently launched a successful mobile gaming app ‘Guava Juice: Tub Tapper’ (now available on Facebook), as well as a slime-filled toy line ‘Guava Toys’ (currently available at Target and Walmart stores/online).
Filipino-American SpongeBob game show host and YouTube star on his rise to fame and the role he was born to play
Roi Fabito, known to his fans as Guava Juice, hit the big time on YouTube with a parody video of Carly Rae Jepsen’s hit song Call Me Maybe in 2012
Now he has four separate YouTube channels, a series of toys, his own mobile gaming app, and even a musical album
There are YouTube celebrities and there is Roi Fabito, better known to his many fans as Guava Juice. His wholesome but off-the-wall videos have garnered him nearly 15 million subscribers and more than 6 billion individual views.
Now, he is taking his stardom to the next level, bringing his particular brand of antic enthusiasm to television (or at least a television network’s YouTube channel) as the host of SpongeBob SmartyPants, an all-things- SpongeBob SquarePants quiz show on Nickelodeon’s dedicated SpongeBob YouTube channel.
Now, he is taking his stardom to the next level, bringing his particular brand of antic enthusiasm to television (or at least a television network’s YouTube channel) as the host of SpongeBob SmartyPants, an all-things- SpongeBob SquarePants quiz show on Nickelodeon’s dedicated SpongeBob YouTube channel.
As the host, he oversees kids flaunting their knowledge of the popular cartoon, going head to head in the hopes of winning the coveted Golden Pineapple.
It’s the role that he was born to play, Fabito says. “I’ve been a huge SpongeBob fan growing up and even now. It’s such an amazing show, because its humour can relate to people of all ages.”
In that, his Guava Juice channel has something in common with the popular cartoon.
While Fabito says he has always been driven by a passion to help children, today his massive audience is scattered all over the world: “[My] fan base ranges all over the place, from eight years old all the way up to 30 years old.”
Fabito is 28, or as he puts it, “10,390 days old”. He was born in the Philippines but moved with his family to the United States. They settled in Durham, North Carolina where Fabito would make his home for the next 22 years, before his burgeoning fame drew him – like so many before him – to Los Angeles.
“My life before YouTube was very boring,” he recalls.
“Living in a small town forced me to find things to help me enjoy my time there. So luckily for me, when YouTube had just started back in 2005, I was already making random videos with my friends in my neighbourhood.”
While his talent to entertain is undeniable, Fabito credits his success as much to good timing as anything else.
He started his first channel, “Wassabi Productions”, named for a then-popular skit on MTV’s reality comedy series Jackass in which daredevil dirt bag Steve-O snorted wasabi on camera.
“Unfortunately, I thought the word wasabi was spelt with two s’s,” he says. “We would do silly sketches of us pretending to be news anchors and lip syncing to our favourite songs like Barbie Girl and songs from High School Musical.”
As rudimentary as his channel was, at the time YouTube was still a new service and those basic videos alone secured them a following of more than 10,000 subscribers, which Fabito says “was a lot at the time”.
Fabito has distinguished himself in a very crowded field of YouTubers by the breadth of his offerings. Look on his channel and you’ll see videos of him drinking some of the world’s hottest hot sauce, making jelly in his bathtub, telling you “10 Things Not To Do in a Hotel Room”, and appearing in music videos for his original songs like “I Love Ice Cream!”
He may make it look easy, but Fabito will be the first to tell you that it is anything but.
“‘YouTube is easy’ is the biggest misconception about being a YouTuber. A lot of people don’t take online creators seriously, as they think it takes no talent to become famous and successful,” he says, having heard it all before. “It takes a lot of patience, a lot of research, and a lot of constant work to make it work.”
His first major hit was a parody video of Carly Rae Jepsen’s hit song Call Me Maybe with a friend on April 7, 2012. Within two weeks, it had 30 million. “That [was] unheard of,” he says. Today, that video has more than 136 million views.
Fabito now has four separate YouTube channels, a series of toys, his own mobile gaming app, and even a musical album.
These last two years have been a whirlwind for Fabito. He won a 2018 Streamy Award for the “Kids & Family” category, and was nominated for a 2019 Teen Choice Award for “Choice Male Web Star”, a 2019 Kids Choice Award for “Favourite Social Star” and a 2019 Shorty Award for “YouTuber of the Year”. That all culminated with the job offer from Nickelodeon – the ultimate honour for a children’s entertainer.
“I realised I was famous after that Call Me Maybe parody was posted. I would get stopped at grocery stores, restaurants and the mall,” says Fabito, admitting that, for the most part, he enjoys the celebrity status. “It feels cool, to be honest. But it’s pretty tough,” he says. “Most of my private life is in secrecy and not many people know about it, which is amazing. I value that privacy, so having both a private and public life is incredible.”
Fabito says that the best part of being famous is being able to use his lofty platform to “inspire those who need the laughter or the smile that day”. That, and to lend his clout to good causes, which he did most famously with a series of videos granting unwell children wishes in a partnership with the Make a Wish Foundation.
And the worst part of his celebrity?
“The worst part,” he says, “is when people ask to take a picture with me while I’m using the public bathroom.”

"I am honoured to hold this position and to lead these three regions," said Maurice Hols, Executive Vice President and General Manager. "I look forward to identifying all of the unique features and strengths and then building one future-proof hub from them."
Hols has been with the company since 2004 and after various positions in various countries he took on the role of General Manager Benelux in 2014. In that capacity, Hols was responsible for multi-platform content development, strategic direction and general management of the company in the Benelux region.

Maurice Hols General Manager bij ViacomCBS voor Benelux, Scandinavië en Rusland
ViacomCBS Networks heeft Maurice Hols benoemd tot Executive Vice President en General Manager voor de regio's Benelux, Scandinavië en Rusland. Met de nieuwe bevoegdheden wordt hij ook verantwoordelijk voor de operaties in Noorwegen, Denemarken, Finland, Zweden en Rusland, Oekraïne, Estland, Letland, Litouwen en landen als Wit-Rusland, Moldavië, Oezbekistan, Armenië en Kazachstan.

Maurice Hols werkt sinds 2004 bij wat toen nog Viacom International Media Networks was en is sinds 2014 General Manager Benelux. Het bedrijf heeft in de loop der jaren verschillende regiostructuren in Europa gehanteerd. Merken als MTV, Comedy Central, Spike, Nickelodeon, Nick Jr en Paramount Network vallen onder ViacomCBS Networks. Het in Nederland gevestigde Europese hoofdkantoor van CBS Studios International blijft een aparte entiteit onder ViacomCBS.
ViacomCBS heeft in Rusland in de loop der jaren de nodige problemen gekend aangaande de distributie en exploitatie van haar zenders als gevolg van de anti-Amerikaanse houding van het Rusland onder Vladimir Poetin. Zo is het voor niet-Russische mediabedrijven niet toegestaan meer dan 20 procent van een mediabedrijf te bezitten. ViacomCBS heeft daartoe partnerships met Russische bedrijven geïnitieerd om aan de Russsische wet- en regelgeving te voldoen.

Does your family have what it takes to conquer The Crystal Maze?
Following the success of Nickelodeon's The Crystal Maze, it seems the network has renewed the hit series for a second season, and are now casting families to be contestants on season two!
Nickelodeon's The Crystal Maze is an all-new version of the legendary UK hit series, featuring comedian/writer Adam Conover as the Maze Master, charged with guiding one family team through physical and mental challenges set within an elaborate labyrinth of four giant and immersive themed zones: Aztec, Eastern, Futuristic and Industrial.
In each episode, the youngest family member takes on the role of team Captain. The successful completion of escape-room style challenges are rewarded with a “time crystal” granting the family five seconds in the centerpiece final zone called the Crystal Dome. The more crystals gathered throughout the game, the more time each family has for a dramatic clock countdown challenge inside the iconic Dome for a chance to win up to $25,000.
A current ratings smash in the UK, The Crystal Maze has been a beloved family and cult favorite since the mid ‘90s, with the current global popularity of the escape room phenomena reigniting interest further. The show was recently rebooted to great success with celebrity, charity and family seasons in UK, Australia and beyond.
Season one features families from Houston, Texas; Scottsdale, Ariz; Lake Forest, Calif; Eastvale, Calif ; St. Augustine, Fla; Windemere, Fla; Chester, Va; Germantown, Tenn; Carollton, Texas; and Wheaton, Ill tackling a range of challenges in the maze for the first time ever for U.S. audiences.
For season two, Bunim/Murray Productions is now casting families of five from across the U.S. that include at least one adult and at least two children aged between 9-13 years old. Applicants must have a passport valid until December 2020 and be able to travel to the UK for filming by Friday, July 3, 2020. Child contestants must be at least 9 years old by June 2020. Applications should be completed by a participating parent or guardian.
Does your family have what it takes to conquer four fantastical zones and tackle a variety of physical, mental, skill, and mystery challenges in this epic adventure game show? Apply to be contestants on Nickelodeon's The Crystal Maze today at https://www.bmpcasting.com/crystalmaze!
Filming for Nickelodeon's The Crystal Maze will likely take place at the show's original set at The Bottle Yard Studios in Bristol, England between mid-August and September 2020. Contestants will need to be available to the production for approximately 5-6 days during that time.
For more information, email castingnow@bunim-murray.com.
The Crystal Maze is co-produced by Bunim/Murray Productions (The Real World, The Challenge, Born This Way) and RDF Television (Secret Life of 4 Year Olds, Wife Swap, Shipwrecked) under parent company Banijay Group. Gil Goldschein and Maria Pepin from Bunim/Murray Productions, Neale Simpson from Fizz, part of RDF Television, and Stephen David from Stephen David Entertainment serve as executive producers. Production of The Crystal Maze for Nickelodeon is overseen by Rob Bagshaw, Executive Vice President, Unscripted Content.
The U.S. edition of The Crystal Maze debuted on Friday, Jan. 24, at 7:00 p.m. (ET/PT) on Nickelodeon.
Production on the first season of the new series (10 one-hour episodes) took place on the show's original set located at The Bottle Yard Studios in Bristol, England during summer 2019.
Devised by Jacques Antoine, the UK version of The Crystal Maze was originally hosted by Richard O'Brien (Rocky Horror), followed by Ed Tudor-Pole. The reboot was originally presented by Stephen Merchant (for Stand Up To Cancer), and currently by Richard Ayoade (The IT Crowd, Travel Man) with his "hand." The show's theme song is the legendary "Force Field", below. The show is currently filmed at The Bottle Yard Studios in Bristol.

Their roster of show stars included David Arquette, Richard Pryor, Will Ferrell, Jim Neighbors, Ruth Buzzi, Timothy Bottoms, Deidre Hall, Cesar Millan, Chuck McCann, Bob Denver, Jack Wild, Anson Williams, Martha Raye, Johnny Whitaker, Rip Taylor, Butch Patrick, Barbara Mandrell, Florence Henderson, Charles Nelson Reilly, Billie Hayes, Margaret Hamilton, Donny and Marie Osmond, not to mention just about every politician who feared and hoped that the Kroffts would imortalize them in puppet form on hit D.C. Follies or the Krofft Kwickies, featuring a cast of life-size puppets ranging from 'Richard Nixon' to 'Arnold Schwarzenegger', with outrageous political and current events satire. D.C. Follies ran for two seasons, prematurely ending with a writer's strike.
Many of the most colorful and fondly remembered children's series of the 1970s and 1980s sprang from the imaginations of Sid and Marty Krofft. Their groundbreaking, live-action fantasy shows were mainstays of the Saturday morning airwaves, which had previously been the exclusive domain of cartoons. To this day, DVD box sets of beloved Krofft creations H.R. Pufnstuf, Lidsville, and Land of the Lost are brisk sellers, a testament to the artistry and charm of the Krofft brothers and the magical spell they cast on generations of TV viewers.
They opened their World of Sid & Marty Krofft amusement park in downtown Atlanta in 1976, where CNN is now headquartered. They were creative directors for Six Flags and produced live shows in parks across America before they embarked on their television career. By the time he was a teenager Sid was a show business veteran, able to strike out on his own and join the Ringling Brothers Circus sideshow. He was billed as "the world's youngest puppeteer". After a year he moved on and soon was touring the world, opening for the likes of Judy Garland and Liberace. But Sid wanted to be more than just an opening act. He wanted big, fantastic puppet shows.
Enter Marty. He had been working puppets off and on with Sid for years, but in the meantime had been gaining experience in the business world. They realized that for what they wanted to do, for Sid's vision, they needed a company of their own. Their vision was to take puppets out of realm of strictly children's entertainment and build a slightly risqué adult-oriented puppet show called Les Poupees De Paris, loosely based on the cabarets of Paris. It was a success! The show traveled throughout the United States - from the Seattle World's Fair, to New York Worlds Fair playing to millions people across the country.
Hanna Barbara approached the Kroffts to help create the Banana Splits for Hanna Barbara and NBC. In 1969, the Kroffts were approached by NBC to create their own Saturday Morning Children's Series. They picked HR Pufnstuf, by far the fans' favorite character from their live shows. Its success spawned a feature film produced with Universal Pictures as a partner and distributor.
The Krofft's produced a series of live shows entitled Comedy Kings for the Sands Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas. In 2018, Sid & Marty received the Lifetime Achievement Emmy Award from the National Academy of Television Arts & Sciences. Now, as Sid & Marty celebrate their "Golden Anniversary", along with H.R. Pufnstuf, they are still going strong as they have created three series and five pilots in the past three years. The three series include the 2-time Emmy nominated Nickelodeon television series Mutt & Stuff, a remake of Electra Woman & Dyna Girl, which aired on Fullscreen from Legendary, and a remake of Sigmund and the Sea Monsters, which is currently streaming on Amazon with David Arquette starring as Captain Barnabas ... AND THE BEST IS YET TO COME
