Nickelodeon to Premiere 'Side Hustle' in Latin America and Brazil on Monday 5th April 2021

NICKELODEON TO PREMIERE SIDE HUSTLE IN LATIN AMERICA AND BRAZIL ON APRIL 5


Share it: @Nickelodeon #SideHustle

Nickelodeon Latin America (Latinoamérica) and Nickelodeon Brazil (Brasil) will be premiering Side Hustle, Nickelodeon's brand-new live-action buddy comedy starring social media sensations and real-life best friends, Jules LeBlanc and Jayden Bartels, on Monday 5th April 2021 at 5:30 pm in Argentina, 6:30 pm in México and Columbia, 7:30 pm in Venezuela and Chile, and at 20:00 in Brazil.


Side Hustle follows best friends, smart and sarcastic Lex (LeBlanc) and confident and tough Presley (Bartels), as they devise a plan to make money when fireworks accidentally destroy a boat belonging to the dad of their quirky friend and neighbor, Munchy (Isaiah Crews). Created and executive produced by Dave Malkoff (Henry Danger, Sam & Cat, Victorious) and shot in front of a live studio audience, Side Hustle season one (26 half-hour episodes) is being shot in Los Angeles.


Forced to come up with creative ways to earn money to pay for the damages, Lex, Presley and Munchy enlist the help of Presley’s tech-savvy younger brother, Fisher (Mitchell Berg), who creates an app to connect with people looking for help with small jobs, and Munchy’s bossy older brother Jaget (Jacques Chevelle), who makes sure they keep up with the payments.

“Annie and Jayden are two massively talented stars who kids adore, and we think our audience is going to love seeing them in their own show on Nick,” said Shauna Phelan, Senior Vice President, Live-Action Scripted Content. “Side Hustle is a new take on the classic buddy comedy, full of wild and hilarious adventures for our unique cast of characters.”

In the premiere episode, “Start Hustling” (#101), the kids get into a jam after accidentally setting a boat on fire. Needing money, they get a job as living mannequins at a fancy store. The kids are excited until they discover they’ll be modeling itchy wool outfits. After spending hours itching and posing, they hatch a plan to close the store early.


LeBlanc is an actress and singer who first came to social prominence in her family’s YouTube channel, “Bratayley.” She has since amassed over 27 million followers across her own social media platforms, and can be seen starring in Brat’s hit YouTube series Chicken Girls and A Girl Named Jo, and the YouTube Red Originals series We Are Savvy. As a singer LeBlanc’s had six songs in the Top Ten iTunes Pop charts, and two Top 50 Billboard Chart hits. She recently won “Choice Music Web Star” at the 2019 Teen Choice Awards, “Muser of the Year” at the 2018 Shorty Awards, and is currently nominated for “Favorite Female Social Star” at the 2020 Kids’ Choice Awards. In 2019, LeBlanc joined the Nickelodeon family starring in Annie vs. Hayley, a digital competition show with her younger sister Hayley, and co-hosted Camp Nick alongside Bartels.

Bartels is a singer, actress and dancer who has made a name for herself both on camera and on the stage. Having written and arranged every song she’s released, she debuted her first EP titled “What Really Matters?” last year and released her most recent single “Gameboy” earlier this month. She’s currently on tour opening for pop rock band Echosmith across the U.S., and she went out on a European tour with English singing duo Max & Harvey in 2019. She has a following of almost 12 million across her social media platforms, as well as over 1.6 billion likes on TikTok. On screen, Bartels has played a recurring role Disney Channel’s Coop & Cami Ask the World and lead in the films To The Beat! and its’ upcoming sequel, To The Beat! Back 2 School. She can also be seen in episodes of Nickelodeon’s Nicky, Ricky, Dicky & Dawn, Showtime’s Kidding and CBS’s Criminal Minds: Beyond Borders.

LeBlanc and Bartels co-hosted Nickelodeon's virtually-produced Group Chat during summer 2020, which ranked as the number-one unscripted live-action show on cable with kids 6-11 in the second quarter of 2020. Bartels later teamed up with social media star Brent Rivera for season two, which aired during Fall 2020 on Nick. Group Chat is currently airing on Nick UK & Eire.

John Beck & Ron Hart (Knight SquadFuller House, Liv and Maddie) serve as executive producers and showrunners. Production of Side Hustle for Nickelodeon is overseen by Shauna Phelan, Senior Vice President, Live-Action Scripted Content. Omar Camacho serves as Nickelodeon’s Executive in Charge of Production for the series.

Side Hustle underscores a key element of Nickelodeon's content strategy, to mine social platforms for the talent that kids love, and to superserve today's kids' interest in growing up to be entrepreneurs. Nick's new content slate is informed by the network's ongoing research and insights into today's generation of kids, who: are the most diverse generation ever and expect to see themselves authentically represented in media and in the world around them; want to make a positive difference in the world as they grow up; consider social media stars as their top role models, alongside their parents; and increasingly meet their much-desired need for family time by co-viewing entertainment content together.

Jennette McCurdy & Ariana Grande Do The Harlem Shake | Sam & Cat

Remember when the cast of Sam & Cat, including Jennette McCurdy, Ariana Grande, Cameron Ocasio (Dice) and Maree Cheatham (Nona) did the Harlem Shake? Nickellennium Farms remembers!


History lesson time!:

"The Harlem Shake" was one of the World Wide Webs' biggest Internet memes when it went viral on YouTube in February 2013. Each meme is in the form of a video that began being replicated according to a similar concept by many people. The art form of the meme was established in a video uploaded on February 2 by The Sunny Coast Skate, five teenagers from Queensland, Australia. The teenagers' video, in its turn, was a follow-up to a video by a YouTube comedy vlogger (video blogger) featuring a part where several costumed people danced to the song "Harlem Shake" by Baauer.

Most "Harlem Shake" videos last around 30-something seconds and feature an excerpt from the song "Harlem Shake" by electronic musician Baauer. Usually, a video begins with one person (often helmeted) dancing to the song alone for 15 seconds, surrounded by other people not paying attention or unaware of the dancing individual. When the bass drops, the video switches to the entire crowd doing a crazy dance for the next 15 seconds. The dancing style should not be confused with the original Harlem Shake dance. In the second half of the video, people often wear crazy outfits or costumes while wielding strange props. The success of the craze is thought to be attributed to the anticipation of the breakout moment and each videos short length.

Sam & Cat is available to stream on Paramount+!

The Real Reason Why SpongeBob Lives in a Pineapple

The iconography of SpongeBob SquarePants is so established and culturally ubiquitous at this point that it's hard to think of someone sitting down and actually coming up with it. But that's just what the late, great Stephen Hillenburg did throughout the '80s and '90s, as he made the unlikely transition from a career as a marine biology teacher to studying experimental animation at CalArts. As Hillenburg explained to MovieWeb.com at the time of The SpongeBob SquarePants Movie, everything in the show's universe has a reason for being: "It is not as random as it appears, at least not to me. The world he lives in is inspired by nautical things, like from a marine gift shop. [There is] Polynesian and Hawaiian both in the music and in some of the imagery and in the sky."


Naturally, this thoroughness of vision also applies to the design of SpongeBob's home, the iconic "pineapple under the sea" that has inspired everything from LEGO sets to Nike sneakers to a real-life pineapple villa at Nickelodeon Hotels & Resorts Punta Cana. Hillenburg's reason for having SpongeBob live in a pineapple was both totally understandable and completely unexpected, just as you might expect from the genius behind Nickelodeon's longest-running show.

The pineapple design in SpongeBob SquarePants is an homage to Polynesian culture
Nickelodeon

The pineapple house wasn't created specifically as SpongeBob's residence. Hillenburg actually started out by drawing multiple possible sea-themed houses for the characters to live in, and the pineapple image came to him because of its recurrence in Polynesian culture, one of the show's main sources of inspiration. "[The pineapple] is a common image in Polynesian fabric," the animator said. "When I was drawing things for the characters to live in I was working freely with what was there and I drew a pineapple to see what would happen."

Indeed, it's undeniable that the pineapple blends in perfectly with the Hawaiian flower clouds, the tank-shaped Bikini Bottom buildings, and all the rest of SpongeBob SquarePants' visuals. Still, the question remains — why did it wind up being SpongeBob's home specifically? Hillenburg's explanation might surprise you. "I thought, 'If I laid out a rock, a pineapple, an Easter Island head, and an old rubber boot, what would he pick?' and it was the pineapple. He is an optimist. He would like the smell."


As fans will know, the rock ended up being Patrick Star's home, with Squidward Tentacles getting the Easter Island Head.

So there you have it: SpongeBob lives in a pineapple under the sea because he likes its smell. Of course, sponges in real life have no brains, and therefore no sense of smell to speak of. But that scarcely matters. After all, we love SpongeBob because it doesn't make sense in all the right ways.

New Jersey Devils, Nickelodeon Partner for Kids Day on Sunday, April 4

Devils, Nickelodeon Partner for Kids Day on Sunday, April 4

The Devils Youth Foundation will donate $25,000 to the Newark Day Center as part of the night


The New Jersey Devils will host Nickelodeon Kids Day on Sunday, April 4 as the team hits the ice against the Washington Capitals at 3:00 p.m.  Throughout the game in a variety of on-screen content, Nickelodeon characters will be featured on the big screen and on the second-screen experience in the New Jersey Devils app, including characters from SpongeBob SquarePants, Rocket Power, PAW Patrol and more. In addition to the Nickelodeon activations that will occur throughout the game, the Devils Youth Foundation will take this opportunity to continue our ongoing commitment of engaging the youth in the Newark community by presenting an in-game donation of $25,000 to Newark Day Center in support of their campaign, Third Century Fund: Equity in Education. The Devils Youth Foundation donation will directly impact and alleviate the education and digital inequities exposed by the pandemic and prepare Newark Day Center families for a brighter future. The funding will provide new technology, hardware and connectivity enhancing both in-classroom and remote learning.

"We have been fortunate to have our organization and players engage with Newark Day Center for the past few years and I am consistently inspired by the incredible work of their staff to support the youth of the Greater Newark Community," said Allison Blitzer, Chair of the Devils Youth Foundation.

NY Islanders Team With Nickelodeon for Co-Branded Theme Game

Islanders Team With Nickelodeon for Co-Branded Theme Game

New York Islanders and Nickelodeon collaborating for special multi-platform experience on Saturday, April 3rd at 7:00pm.


The New York Islanders, in collaboration with Nickelodeon, are getting kids and families into the game with a special multi-platform experience on Saturday, April 3rd at 7:00pm. The evening will take the Islanders' game presentation to the next level with the incorporation of Nickelodeon shows and characters, both past and present, into the team's digital entertainment landscape.

Fans tuning in on the Islanders HomeIce Experience powered by the HomeTurf app, along with the team's social and digital channels, will be treated to one-of-a-kind Nick-themed content. The app will deliver exclusive content to fans' living rooms like trivia, polls, team videos and game celebration graphics featuring popular Nickelodeon characters from shows like SpongeBob SquarePants, Rugrats, PAW Patrol and Rocket Power. There will also be cardboard cutouts of Nickelodeon characters in the seats, 

Make sure to follow the New York Islanders on social media for more information on a chance to win a custom Islanders and Nickelodeon themed goalie mask.

"The New York Islanders are excited to partner with Nickelodeon, a company that has entertained generations of Islanders fans for years," said Danielle Lewis, Director of Game Presentation. "We are always looking for new ways to provide memorable experiences, and with Nickelodeon's innovative, nostalgic and entertaining programming, it was a perfect fit to join efforts and connect with fans of all ages."

Speaking to Sports Business Journal, Lewis added “We’re looking to elevate our game presentation

“It’ll be a co-branded game. So in every single element, you will definitely see touches of Nickelodeon, whether it’s their different characters or things that are iconic to Nickelodeon. For example, their slime.”

The Islanders will likely begin teasing the themed game on Monday with video content, Lewis said.

The Nickelodeon elements will not appear on broadcast, so if fans wish to see what the same video board, in-arena experience looks like from within the Coliseum, they can do just that via the HomeTurf App, according to Lewis. It is a “new broadcast enhancement tool” that debuted on March 6. Fans can then sync their second-screen experience with the game broadcast.

As part of the co-branded game, trivia in the HomeTurf App will be Double Dare-themed, while all of the questions will center around Nickelodeon shows and have some tie-ins to the Islanders, Lewis explained. The top 100 people on the poll and trivia leaderboard will be awarded prizes, like a plush Islanders lobster, which plays off sketch comedy show The Amanda Show. Since ’19, dancing lobsters, which are featured in the show, have become part of victory celebrations on social media following an Islanders win.

“We’re able to tie this all together in a really fun way that will entertain our fans and provide them a unique experience than just our typical games,” Lewis said.

The NHL game follows the NFL creating a lot of buzz this past season when they collaborated with Nickelodeon for a special telecast of the NFC Wild Card Game between the Saints and Buccaneers.  The broadcast was filled with special features and graphics with lots of slime and Nickelodeon characters creating a fun and educational experience for younger football fans or kids who were new to the game.


Likewise, the Islanders will incorporate Nickelodeon shows and characters, past and present to cover multiple generations

“We saw what (the NFL) did during the Wild Card game and it was great to really take some inspiration from there and collaborate with them,” Lewis told NY Sportsday.  “What we’re looking to do during the game is really just stretch across Nickelodeon’s different properties. We have certain elements within the game explaining hockey and what happens when there’s a penalty? What is icing? How many players are on the ice? Things like that to introduce young fans to the game of hockey.”

“Generations of Islanders fans grew up with Nickelodeon or their kids grew up with Nickelodeon,” said Lewis.  Really stretching across those different properties so that you have some people that sense of nostalgia.  It’s going to be very cool to see the co-branded look that we’ve developed to see it come to life is great.  We’re excited to display that for fans.  We have some videos coming out soon to just get fans excited about the game.”


While there will be content across social media and on the video boards at the Coliseum that night, as well as cardboard cutouts of Nickelodeon characters in the seats, the main platform for the co-branded content will be through the Islanders HomeIce Experience which requires downloading the HomeTurf app.  There will be plenty of slime, interactive activations, trivia, polls and prizes.  Fans are encouraged to follow the Islanders on social media for a chance to win a custom Islanders and Nickelodeon themed goalie mask.

As previously mentioned, The Amanda Show will be a big part of the night. The sketch show starring Amanda Bynes ran on Nickelodeon from 1999 to 2002.  Among the sketches was “Judge Trudy”, a spoof of Judge Judy where dancing lobsters were called into the courtroom at the end of cases.   The Islanders social media team has been posting the video of the dancing lobsters after wins so naturally that will be an element to Nickelodeon night.


“We’re actually giving the top 100 on our leaderboard for the evening a plush Islanders lobster,” said Lewis.

Whether you’re one of the 1,400 fans who will be at the Islanders vs Flyers game on April 3rd or you’re watching the game at home, Islanders Nickelodeon Night should be a fun evening for fans of all ages.  Being an Islanders fan is something that is passed down from generation to generation and now being a fan of Nickelodeon has spanned multiple generations.

Stay tuned through the Islanders HomeIce Experience and team social channels for more information about the collaboration and teasers leading up to the April 3rd takeover. Content will be featured on NewYorkIslanders.com, Islanders Facebook (@NewYorkIslanders), Instagram (@NY_Islanders) and Twitter (@NYIslanders).
