The Rocktopus was a funny, eight-legged rock 'n' roll octopus that haunted Jack Black's dreams. During the awards show, they finally worked things out. The Rocktopus even helped activate the giant slime machine!
iCarly Live!
The cast of iCarly was live outside the Pauley Pavilion in Hollywood during the awards. Carly, Sam, Freddie, and Spencer were there because Spencer was hired to build a Kids' Choice Awards Blimp out of hot dogs! Spencer explored the show, checking out celebrity gift bags and even sneaking some mini hot dogs from the snack table. In the end, his hot dog sculpture was destroyed in a funny incident with the snack lady.
