Slime stunts Two slime stunts were featured in the 2010 awards: the first involved gold-medalist Olympic speed skater
Apolo Anton Ohno in a stunt in which he would be catapulted into slime by a "slime slingshot" in a "slime world record" attempt (the "launch" segment was actually pre-taped in advance of the show with Ohno's "catapulting" into the air digitally inserted); the second slime stunt involved actress
Nicola Peltz, who co-stars in the then-upcoming feature film
The Last Airbender making an attempt to bend slime (Peltz plays
Katara, who has the ability to bend water.)
Mystery slimed celebrities The Last Airbender co-star
Jackson Rathbone,
iCarly co-star
Jerry Trainor,
Katy Perry, online celebrity
Fred Figglehorn (played by
Lucas Cruikshank, who announced during commercial breaks the awards whose categories could not make it into the main show due to time constraints),
Tina Fey,
Steve Carell, and show host
Kevin James were all slimed during the awards show. Trainor and Rathbone were slimed during the slimebending stunt by a slime geyser (the podium where presenters and winners appear featured a pool of slime in front of the podium, directly surrounding it, thus also allowing those in the audience directly in front of that area of the stage to be slimed as well when the slime geyser is activated), Perry was slimed while introducing the "Favorite Movie Actress" award in which
Miley Cyrus won (Perry was slimed while opening a box thought to contain a card announcing the winner; the force of the slime sprayed from the box caused Perry to lose balance and fall on the stage briefly), and Fey and Carell were also slimed by a slime geyser from the slime area directly surrounding the podium (though they appeared onstage, Fey and Carell did not introduce or present an award); Cruikshank (as
his persona from his
YouTube video series) slimed himself during one of the commercial break segments. KCA host James, who was standing onstage with the children who handed out the awards to the winners appearing on the show, was slimed along with the children onstage near the end of the telecast after completing a running gag within the telecast in which James attempted to become a "beyond awesome" host by doing things to get in the audience's favor, with special guest
Adam Sandler appearing on the videoscreens directly above the stage during the final sliming of the telecast. ==References==
