Nick Jonas to Get Slimed as Host of Nickelodeon’s 2015 KCA’s

Nick JonasPlatinum-selling artist Nick Jonas was just announced as the host of Nickelodeon’s 28th Annual Kids’ Choice Awards. The 22 year-old “Jealous” singer takes over for 2014 Kids’ Choice Awards host, Mark Wahlberg.

2015 is setting itself up to be a massive year for Jonas. He is slated to tour starting in April on Iggy Azalea’s Great Escape tour in support of his self-titled album. His single “Jealous” grabbed the No. 1 position on the U.S. Radio charts and has set the tone for his second single, “Chains,” which is currently rising up the charts. Jonas currently appears in the DirecTV series, Kingdom and will also have a role in Ryan Murphy’s upcoming horror-comedy anthology, Scream Queens, slated for a fall 2015 premiere on FOX.

We heard about Nick’s hosting gig from sources close to the show yesterday morning, but were sworn to super-secrecy and waited to share the news until the official press release landed in our in-box. What do you think about Nick Jonas hosting the KCAs? I definitely hope that when he gets slimed, he’s shirtless like in his recent Details Magazine spread. Yowza!
