A triple-star slime-fest opened the show, with green goo soaking Mandy Moore, Jackie Chan and Chris Tucker. Before long, kids and stars alike weathered slime showers throughout the telecast. Tobey Maguire got down and messy, and craving a sliming, host Timberlake and Steve Carell turned green with glee.

Absorbing the spirit of Nick for the show's climactic barrier-breaking star sliming, Vince Vaughn also made history by reaping the rewards of the first-ever interactive sliming: Viewers voted on nick.com for a stunning, goo- gushing mode and sat back for the real-time spectacle. Their three choices: blowing out a section of the house with slime, hence dousing hundreds; having an elephant suck all the excess slime out of the house and blow it out his trunk; or activating a huge geyser under the stage.

The latter won out.Wowing the crowd and setting a world record with a never-before-attempted slimy feat, stuntman Ron Jones bungee jumped from a height of 225 feet and plunged into a bucket of green slime 12-feet in diameter and five feet deep.
