Nick@Nite to Air 'BET Awards' 2026 on June 28

BET has announced that the BET Awards 2026 will air LIVE from the Peacock Theater in Los Angeles on Sunday, June 28, at 8 PM ET/PT on BET and simulcast across the Paramount ecosystem, including

on BET HER, CMT, LOGO, MTV, MTV2, Nickelodeon (during Nick@Nite), Paramount, POP, VH1, Comedy Central, and TV Land!

Culture’s Biggest Night, this year's BET Awards will be hosted by award-winning comedian, entertainer, and cultural sensation Druski, who will become the youngest-ever host of the BET Awards, eclipsing Kevin Hart, who previously held the distinction in 2011.

“It’s an honor to be the youngest host EVER for the BET Awards,” Druski said. “I grew up watching the BET Awards and, to know the comedic legends that hosted before me set the bar so high, I’m just grateful to be a part of the history. BUT I’m still bringing my brand of comedy to the stage, so expect a little chaos, a lot of laughs, and some of your favorite Druski characters to pop out along the way.”

BET Awards is one of the most-watched award shows on cable television, according to the Nielsen Company. The BET Awards franchise remains the #1 program in cable TV history among African-Americans, and it is the #1 telecast for BET every year. It recognizes the triumphs and successes of artists, entertainers, and athletes in a variety of categories.

For 25 years, the BET Awards has been one of the most powerful cultural platforms in entertainment, honoring the artists, creators, and leaders shaping culture in real time. Built on the pillars of community, culture, and connection, it has delivered iconic performances, unforgettable tributes, and moments that continue to resonate far beyond the stage. The show reflects the creativity, influence, and reach of Black culture across music, television, film, sports, fashion, and more.

“As one of the most exciting and influential comedic voices of his generation, Druski brings a unique ability to connect with audiences through humor that feels both fresh and deeply rooted in culture,” said Connie Orlando, EVP, Specials, Music Programming & Music Strategy at BET. “As we prepare for this year’s BET Awards, we’re thrilled to have him bring his signature energy and perspective to the stage, helping set the tone for a night that celebrates the achievements and cultural impact of our community.”

“Druski represents the kind of bold, culture-driving talent that continues to shape the future of entertainment. His voice resonates across platforms, blending comedy and authentic connection in a way that aligns perfectly with our vision for BET. Partnering with Druski as host reflects our commitment to elevating the new generation of comedians who are redefining how audiences engage with content today,” said Louis Carr, President, BET.

Connie Orlando, EVP of Specials, Music Programming and Music Strategy, serves as Executive Producer for BET Awards 2026. Jesse Collins Entertainment is the production company for the show, with Jesse Collins, Dionne Harmon, and Jeannae Rouzan-Clay also serving as Executive Producers.

Additional announcements, including nominees and performers, will be revealed in the coming weeks. Culture's Biggest Week returns with BET Experience 2026 (BETX), three days of immersive, fan-focused events, June 25-27, ahead of BET Awards 2026.

BET Experience is the destination for elevating unapologetic Blackness with authentic entertainment, access, and lifestyle experiences.

Catherine O’Hara Passes Away: Beloved ‘Schitt’s Creek’, ‘SCTV’, ‘Home Alone’ Actor Was 71

Catherine O’Hara, the beloved, multi-award-winning actor, writer and comedian sadly passed away on Friday, January 30 at her home in Los Angeles following a brief illness. She was 71.

O’Hara launched her extraordinary career as one of the ensemble members of the star-making cast of SCTV before gaining acclaim in such films as Beetlejuice, Home Alone, A Mighty Wind and, in a full-circle embrace of her TV roots that earned her an Emmy Award, Schitt’s Creek.

O’Hara was most recently seen reprising the role of Delia Deetz in Beetlejuice Beetlejuice, as well as season two of the HBO Max critically acclaimed series The Last of Us, and in the hit comedy series The Studio from Point Grey Pictures for Apple TV. For her performances in both The Last of Us and The Studio, O’Hara earned an Emmy nomination for Outstanding Guest Actress In A Drama Series and Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Comedy Series.

Her film credits include lead and supporting roles in Beetlejuice, Home Alone, Home Alone 2: Lost in New York, After Hours, Heartburn, The Life Before This, Penelope, Away We Go, Where the Wild Things Are, A.C.O.D., The Right Kind of Wrong, The Nightmare Before Christmas and many more.

O’Hara collaborated with Christopher Guest and co-writer Eugene Levy four times on the critically acclaimed mockumentary films Waiting for Guffman, Best in Show, A Mighty Wind, and For Your Consideration. Her performance in the latter won her the 2007 National Board of Review Award for Supporting Actress.

Among her many guest appearances on TV are Six Feet Under and Curb Your Enthusiasm. Her role in the HBO’s Temple Grandin earned her Primetime Emmy, Satellite, and Screen Actors Guild Award nominations.

Miley In the 'Harvey Beaks' Episode 'The Case of the Missing Pancake' | Nickelodeon

On Nickelodeon, O’Hara voiced Miley, Harvey Beaks’ maternal grandmother, on the Harvey Beaks episode "The Case of the Missing Pancake." She was also the voice of Jackie Martin on the Nick@Nite's stop-motion adult animated series, Glenn Martin, DDS.

She first performed with Toronto’s Second City Theatre and later, with fellow alumni including Levy, created the iconic sketch comedy show SCTV. O’Hara won an Emmy Award and earned four Emmy nominations for her writing on the show.

Launching in 1976, the hugely influential SCTV would feature some of the most soon-to-be-superstar comedians of the era. In addition to O’Hara, the show also known as Second City Television starred the late John Candy, Harold Ramis and Joe Flaherty, along with Eugene Levy, Andrea Martin, Rick Moranis, Dave Thomas and Martin Short. It aired from 1981-83 in late-night on NBC as SCTV Network 90.

Among O’Hara’s most indelible SCTV characters were edge-of-a-breakdown lounge singer Lola Heatherton (a portmanteau of real-life performers Lola Falana and Joey Heatherton), whose fawning catchphrase “I love you! I wanna bear your children!” was enthusiastically offered to bigger-name stars, and Lorna Minnelli, a mash-up of the Judy Garland daughters Lorna Luft and Liza Minnelli.

Other notable characters included bawdy nightclub singer Dusty Towne, and Sue Bopper Simpson, the self-actualized feminist writer-performer who, along with Andrea Martin’s Libby Wolfson wrote and performed the not-so-big-hit musical I‘m Taking My Own Head And Screwin It On Right And No Guy’s Gonna Tell Me That It Ain’t. In the latter, O’Hara and Martin skillfully if lovingly mocked the Gretchen Cryer-Nancy Ford 1978 hit musical I’m Getting My Act Together and Taking It on the Road.

O’Hara’s celebrity parodies for SCTV included Brooke Shields, Lucille Ball, Elizabeth Taylor, Katherine Hepburn, Morgan Fairchild and gossip columnist Rona Barrett.

Decades later, in the final two seasons of the hit CBC series, Schitt’s Creek, in which she played charmingly eccentric former soap star Moira Rose, wife of Eugene Levy’s Johnny Rose and mother of Daniel Levy’s David and Annie Murphy’s Alexis, O’Hara received an Emmy Award for Outstanding Lead Actress in a Comedy Series, a Golden Globe Award for Best Performance by an Actress in a Comedy Television Series, a SAG Award for Outstanding Performance by a Female Actor in a Comedy Series, a Critics Choice Award for Best Actress in a Comedy Series, a TCA Award for Individual Achievement in Comedy, and multiple Canadian Screen Awards for Best Performance by an Actress in a Continuing Leading Comedic Role amongst others. O’Hara also garnered Emmy, Golden Globe and SAG awards in the Best Ensemble categories alongside her castmates Eugene Levy, Dan Levy and Annie Murphy.

O’Hara is survived by her husband Bo Welch and sons Matthew and Luke, along with siblings Michael O’Hara, Mary Margaret O’Hara, Maureen Jolley, Marcus O‘Hara, Tom O’Hara, Patricia Wallice.

A private celebration of life will be held by the family.

Nick@Nite Set to Expand Into 7 p.m. Timeslot From September 29

Nick@Nite, Nickelodeon's nighttime programming block, is set to expand its broadcast hours this fall, and will start to begin at 7:00 p.m. (ET/PT) every evening from Monday, September 29.

The move will make Nick@Nite into a 12-hour block, with its broadcast hours now being 7:00 p.m. - 7:00 a.m. (ET/PT) daily.

Nick@Nite's expansion most likely explains why Nickelodeon recently moved its premieres to the 5:00 p.m. (ET/PT) hour, with Nick@Nite taking their normal 7:00 p.m. (ET/PT) timeslots.

While this is the earliest Nick at Nite has ever started on a regular, nightly basis, it's not the earliest ever. In 1985 and 1986, Nickandmore! notes, the block started at 5:00 p.m. on Sundays - first for National Geographic Explorer, then for regular programming. Nick at Nite has also hosted several special daytime events over the years.

Prior to now, Nick at Nite staple Friends has only aired once in the 7:00 p.m. hour on Nickelodeon, on August 26, 2019 as the lead-in to the MTV VMAs.

'Friends' No Longer Leaving Nick@Nite In September 2025

Could Nick@Nite be about to lose one of its longest-running shows?

Update (9/7) - It appears that Nickelodeon/Paramount renewed the rights to Friends at the very, very last minute, with the series back on the Nick@Nite schedules full time.

TBS, which shares broadcast TV rights with Nick@Nite, was planning to air the show at 11:00 p.m. starting Monday, but they have now reversed their schedule as well.

Leading up to the show's removal, Nick@Nite removed the show's official page and image from NickAtNite.com on Friday, August 29, however, on Friday, September 5, the block put the show back on the schedules for an additional three days.

Original post:

It seems like Nick@Nite is about to undergo a bit of a shakeup, with the hit sitcom Friends set to leave Nickelodeon's evening programming block in September 2025.

Friends, which debuted in 1994, follows the lives and loves of a close-knit group of friends while they navigate their way through their twenties living in New York City: siblings Ross (David Schwimmer) and Monica Geller (Courteney Cox), along with friends Chandler Bing (Matthew Perry), Phoebe Buffay (Lisa Kudrow), Joey Tribbiani (Matt LeBlanc) and Rachel Green (Jennifer Aniston). 

Friends was created by David Crane and Marta Kauffman, who executive produced the series with Kevin Bright through Bright/Kauffman/Crane Productions in association with Warner Bros. Television.

Nick at Nite added Friends to its line-up during Fall 2011, where the series has become a staple over the past 14 years, routinely pulling in stellar ratings.

However, this is about to change, as, according to currently published schedules, Friends is set to leave Nick@Nite on Wednesday, September 3 - 14 years to the day Nick@Nite started to air the sitcom - with the last scheduled episode, season three's "The One at the Beach," airing at 11:30 p.m. (ET/PT).

Following this episode, Nickelodeon will be shaking up the schedule, with SpongeBob SquarePants airing in Friends' former 8:00 p.m. and 8:30 p.m. (ET/PT) timeslots, along with replays of The Big Bang Theory and The Neighborhood in other timeslots the series formally inhabited.

Nick@Nite to Premiere 'How to Train Your Dragon: The Hidden World' on Friday, March 14

Nickelodeon will premiere the hit movie How to Train Your Dragon: The Hidden World on Friday, March 14 at 8:00 p.m. (ET/PT), as part of Nick@Nite!

From DreamWorks Animation comes a surprising tale about growing up, finding the courage to face the unknown…and how nothing can ever train you to let go.

What began as an unlikely friendship between an adolescent Viking and a fearsome Night Fury dragon has become an epic adventure spanning their lives.  Welcome to the most astonishing chapter of one of the most beloved animated franchises in film history: How to Train Your Dragon: The Hidden World.  

Now chief and ruler of Berk alongside Astrid, Hiccup has created a gloriously chaotic dragon utopia.  When the sudden appearance of female Light Fury coincides with the darkest threat their village has ever faced, Hiccup and Toothless must leave the only home they’ve known and journey to a hidden world thought only to exist in myth.  As their true destines are revealed, dragon and rider will fight together—to the very ends of the Earth—to protect everything they’ve grown to treasure.

For How to Train Your Dragon: The Hidden World, series director Dean DeBlois returns alongside the all-star cast.  The film is produced by Brad Lewis (Ratatouille, ANTZ) and Bonnie Arnold (Toy Story, How to Train Your Dragon, How to Train Your Dragon 2).

MTV To Kick Off With An All-Day Marathon On Wednesday, Jan. 1

NEW YORK – Dec. 17, 2024 – Paramount announced today that The Big Bang Theory will join Nick at Nite and MTV lineups, bringing holiday cheer through the new year as the 10-time Emmy^® Award-winning series returns to Paramount for the first time since its run on CBS.

Both brands will kick off their debut with marathon stunts tailored to their audiences, as follows:

• Beginning Tuesday, December 24, Nickelodeon’s nighttime programming block Nick at Nite will host a two-day stunt featuring holiday-themed episodes including the beloved “Leonard Nimoy’s Napkin.”
• On December 27, The Big Bang Theory will debut with Season 4 on Nick at Nite and air daily from 12-2 a.m. (ET/PT).

The licensing agreement with Warner Bros. Discovery Content Sales for the series was negotiated on behalf of Paramount Global by Barbara Zaneri, Chief Programming Acquisitions Officer.

About The Big Bang Theory

Leonard (Johnny Galecki) and Sheldon (Jim Parsons) are brilliant physicists, the kind of "beautiful minds" that understand how the universe works. But, none of that genius helps them interact with people, especially women. All this begins to change when a free-spirited beauty named Penny (Kaley Cuoco) moves in next door. Sheldon, Leonard's roommate, is quite content spending his nights playing Klingon Boggle with their socially dysfunctional friends, fellow Caltech scientists Wolowitz (Simon Helberg) and Koothrappali (Kunal Nayyer). However, Leonard sees in Penny a whole new universe of possibilities ... including love.

Throughout its impressive run, The Big Bang Theory was nominated for an astonishing 55 Emmy^® Awards and won 10. The series was also honored with a Television Critics Association Award, and People’s Choice and Teen Choice Awards and was recognized by the AFI and Humanitas organizations. The Big Bang Theory premiered in 2007 and aired 279 episodes spanning 12 seasons.

The Big Bang Theory was produced by Warner Bros. Television and Chuck Lorre Productions. Chuck Lorre and Bill Prady were co-creators/executive producers/head writers. Steven Molaro, Lee Aronsohn, Eric Kaplan, Maria Ferrari, Dave Goetsch, and Steve Holland have also served as executive producers on the series. The series is distributed by Warner Bros. Domestic Television.
