Slime Time Live is a television show that aired on Nickelodeon from 2000–2004, lasting 8 seasons.
During its run it was hosted by Dave Aizer, Jonah Travick, and Jessica Holmes and produced/directed by Jason Harper.
[citation needed] The show was also known to have their audience members, contestants, hosts, celebrity guests, and staff caught on-camera pied in the face.
The board was scrambled before game play and if a match was made, the home player would win a prize and the contestant would be slimed and often pied as well.
If they did not make a match, host Dave Aizer would receive a whipped cream pie in the face.
This was an online interactive platform, which prompted viewers to constantly engage with the Nick.com website while watching shows.
Indeed, when Dave Aizer leaves to cover the 2001 Kids' Choice Awards in April, Jessica and Jonah hosted STL from Orlando.
The Slime-U-Lator rounds remained, but gameplay would change to allow home players 20 seconds to find the matching Nick characters.
The host would give hints about something relating to the stated theme, and home players would buzz in to answer.
This made the segment a bit more humorous and engaging than the straight trivia questions of the previous season.

Gameplay for the Slime-U-Lator rounds changed again, in that home players now got three chances to pick two numbers at a time, in an attempt to make a match.
In 2002 the Slime-U-Lator game was reduced to two rounds per show, but usually added an extra messy skit or stunt in its place.
Starting in January, the NickVentures segment was introduced, which involved Jonah traveling across the country to find out what kids liked to do after school.
The Big Shaboozie finale involved a large tic tac toe-style game board with nine numbers.
In turn, teams could use their accrued points to pick numbers on the game board, in hopes of finding the winning square, The Big Shaboozie.
The Splat Vat was introduced, which was a kind of dunk tank, used for various games with audience members and hosts.
The Big Shaboozie was played in a similar way to the first few seasons, home players on the phone competing for their team in studio.
Hosts would alternate each show, with Dave, Jonah, and Jessica all getting a chance to sit above the Splat Vat.
"Breakfast TV" was not an established convention for American children, many of whom were rushing out the door to catch the school bus by 7:30.
It has been conjectured that Nickelodeon's higher-level executives wanted to kill off the show, and doomed its ratings by condemning it to an unfavorable time slot.
Whatever the case, the writing was on the wall, and by spring of 2004, it was clear to the cast and crew that Slime Time Live would not be renewed.
One year after the show's cancellation, Friday Night Slimetime premiered on Nickelodeon, but unlike the original version, its segments were prerecorded.
Nickelodeon had a talent hold on Lil' JJ and was forced to give him a show to finish out his contract.
