Slime Time Live was a fun TV show on Nickelodeon. It ran from 2000 to 2004, with 8 seasons. The show was hosted by Dave Aizer, Jonah Travick, and Jessica Holmes. It was filmed outside Nickelodeon Studios at Universal Studios Florida. Sometimes, if the weather was bad, they filmed inside. This show was one of the last ones made at those studios. It often aired during commercial breaks on Nickelodeon.

Slime Time Live even broke two Guinness World Records! In 2001, they set a record for the most people pied in three minutes (1,000 people). On the very last show, they slimed 762 people, setting a record for the most people slimed at once. This huge sliming happened outdoors, right in front of the studios.

Getting Slimed on the Show

The show was famous for sliming its audience. Here is how it worked:

  • Someone from the audience was chosen.
  • They sat in a special chair.
  • The hosts asked them a question.
  • If they answered correctly, they got a bucket of green slime poured on them!
  • Over time, this changed to two, then three buckets of slime.

Pieing Fun

Besides sliming, the show also loved to pie people in the face. This included audience members, contestants, hosts, and even celebrity guests. After the show ended, Nickelodeon stopped using pies for a while. But pieing later came back at the Nick-themed resort and on their cruise line.

Playing Interactive Games

Viewers at home could call in to play games with people on the show.

  • The most popular game was matching Nicktoons characters on a Tic-tac-toe board.
  • The board was mixed up before the game started.
  • If a home player made a match, they won a prize.
  • The contestant on the show would then get slimed and often pied too!
  • If no match was made, host Dave Aizer would get a whipped cream pie in his face.
  • Later, a "mystery bucket" was added. If no match was made, only the mystery bucket would drop on the player.

The board also had special tiles:

  • A "pie tile" meant the contestant had to smash a pie in their own face.
  • A "cream blaster" tile meant the contestant got blasted with whipped cream from cannons.
  • A "bonus tile" gave the home player another chance.
  • An "instant slime" tile or "wild card" meant an automatic match, instant sliming, and an instant win!
  • Sometimes, a lot of slime was used.
  • Another game was "Slime-u-lator 2.0." Teams would pedal to move slime up tubes into bins. The team that filled their bin first won and moved to "The Big Shaboozie" round.

More games were added as the show went on. Many famous people from other Nickelodeon shows often visited.

The Big Shaboozie Game

This was the final game on the show. It was first called "Super Sloppy Slime-Off." Here's how it changed over the years:

2000 and 2001

  • In "Super Sloppy Slime-Off," two teams played.
  • Each team had three contestants.
  • Jessica led one team, and Jonah led the other.
  • Teams stood under a trough filled with slime.
  • Dave asked a question about Nickelodeon.
  • If a player answered correctly, their team leader would pie one of their teammates.
  • If they answered wrong, the other team's leader would pie one of their teammates.
  • The first team to have all three members pied would get slimed!
  • That team, along with the home player, won a big prize.

2002

  • The game was renamed "The Big Shaboozie."
  • Dave asked questions about specific Nickelodeon topics, not just random ones.
  • All players had to wear goggles during the game.
  • The winning team members got slimed (sometimes with other messy stuff!).
  • They were also blasted with whipped cream from the front and back.
Other Changes in 2002
  • The show's logo was updated.
  • An audience member would introduce the game.

2003

  • This time, each team had only two players.
  • Teams took turns picking numbers on a Tic-tac-Toe board.
  • If a team found "The Big Shaboozie," they won the game.
  • But if they found "The Whammy," the other team won!
Other Changes in 2003
  • The logo changed again.
  • The audience member who introduced the game would get pied!

Celebrity Guests on Slime Time Live

Many famous people visited Slime Time Live:

The Final Season

For its last season, Slime Time Live started recording shows before they aired. The episodes were shown in the mornings. Nickelodeon hoped to get more young viewers this way. However, the number of viewers actually went down. The show often "connected" live with U-Pick Live, another show that later took its place.

On the very last show, Slime Time Live broke the world record. They slimed the most people at one time!

Friday Night Slimetime

About a year after Slime Time Live ended, a new show called Friday Night Slimetime started. This show was different because all its parts were recorded beforehand. It ran for two seasons and was hosted by Lil' JJ and Chloe Dolandis. Dave Aizer, the former host of Slime Time Live, also worked on this show as a writer. He sometimes announced the prizes too. Common prizes included bicycles or sports balls. This show aired from September 23, 2005, to March 24, 2006.
