Hopefully, she won’t get slimed.
First lady Jill Biden will appear on Nickelodeon’s Kids Choice Awards on Saturday to honor military families, the channel announced Friday.
Biden, who will be introduced by “iCarly” star and the special’s co-host Miranda Cosgrove, “will speak to the resilience of today’s youngest generation, especially children of military members and veterans, and encourage America’s youth to keep growing, learning, and giving back to their communities,” according to Nickelodeon.
Biden’s segment, which will take place during Month of the Military Child, will be pretaped, a Nickelodeon rep told the Daily News.
“Whether as an educator, mother, grandmother or champion of military families, Dr. Biden’s compassion and advocacy have been a defining characteristic throughout her time in public service,” said Marva Smalls, an executive vice president at ViacomCBS.
The Kids Choice Awards will air Saturday at 7:30 p.m. ET on Nickelodeon.
Biden isn’t the first of the first ladies to appear on the awards special known for sliming celebrity guests and winners.
Former first lady Michelle Obama appeared in 2012 at the youth-geared awards show to present Taylor Swift with The Big Help Award for her philanthropic work. Obama herself had received the award two years earlier for encouraging healthier lifestyles for kids through her Let’s Move! campaign.
