April 20, 2006 — Mega movie star Tom Cruise will give kids the inside scoop on performing Mission: Impossible: III-style movie stunts, his childhood ambitions and the best way to prepare for a car chase scene as the celebrity host of Nickelodeon's popular tween programming block TEENick, premiering Saturday, April 29 between 8:00-10:00PM and Sunday, April 30 from 6:00-9:00PM.

Kicking off the TEENick segment taped in front of a live audience in San Pedro, California on April 5, superstar Cruise will wow viewers with a spectacular entrance by helicopter. Cruise is then joined by legendary M:I: III stunt coordinator Vic Armstrong to talk about and then demonstrate how to safely perform a stunt where he flips his car at the end of a heated chase scene. Kids also have the opportunity to get up-close and personal with Cruise and ask him questions like: "When you were little, what did you want to be when you grew up?" (an actor or an astronaut); "Who is your favorite athlete?" (Mohammad Ali) and "What is your fondest childhood memory?" (traveling). TEENick, the popular hosted interstitial programming block which airs every Saturday and Sunday night on Nickelodeon, brings kids the hottest line- up of celebrities in an unpredictable, game-filled setting. Featured hosts have included Jennifer Lopez, Adam Sandler, Lindsay Lohan, Chris Brown, Beyonce Knowles, Jack Black, David Spade, Jon Heder, Rob Schneider, Mike Myers and Robin Williams. Taped in front of a live audience, celebrity hosts play along with resident TEENick DJ, J Boogie, and are asked to spin the TEENick bottle. Each spin reveals a different challenge. Some hosts have eaten nachos while wearing boxing gloves, while others have given members of the audience a piggyback ride. Adam Sandler answered questions with a mouthful of ice cubes. David Spade, Jon Heder and Rob Schneider had a sunflower seed spitting contest. Jack Black improvised a song for the "TEENick Prom" and The Click Five went bowling with Thanksgiving turkeys. TEENick is also a showcase for the latest music and has featured performances by Kelly Clarkson, Black Eyed Peas, Good Charlotte, Jesse McCartney, Ashlee Simpson and Simple Plan. New this year is a series of "TEENick Behind The Scenes" nights - which offers kids an inside look at celebrities in their own environment.

TEENick hit the half pipe with Tony Hawk's Boom Boom Huck Jam Tour in San Diego, got a backstage pass with the American Idol Live Tour in Philadelphia and learned the secrets of Ryan Cabrera's gravity defying hair on tour in Albany. J Boogie also gave viewers exclusive behind the scenes access to the hot TEENick shows, Zoey 101, Unfabulous, Ned's Declassified School Survival Guide and Drake & Josh. In addition, kids can view exclusive "backstage" TEENick moments on TurboNick, Nickelodeon's broadband video platform available on Nick.com. TurboNick gives kids an inside look at the taping of a TEENick, which always has the cameras rolling as the stars rehearse a game, a line or simply hang out backstage.
