Getting Ready for the Big Show
Before the big show, new commercials (called promos) started airing. The first one was shown on January 20, 2012, during a new episode of Supah Ninjas. Some promos featured the bands Big Time Rush and the cast of Victorious. They explained how kids could vote for their favorite stars.
There was also a promo with Will Smith, who was the host of the show that year. It showed him entering the "Kids' Choice Headquarters." The UK version of the promos even included the popular UK band, One Direction, talking to Will Smith. All these promos used the same cool style as Nick in the US. A voice actor named Peter Dickson, also known as Voiceover Man, did the voice for all the promotional material.
