Will Smith hosts the 25th annual Kids’ Choice Awards (8 p.m., Nickelodeon). Over the years, Smith has also been the recipient of 10 Kids’ Choice Awards.

Look for celebrities and random bystanders to get covered in the show’s trademark green slime. And expect plenty of promotions for this summer’s big movies, including Smith’s “Men in Black III.” There’s no word if Frank the Pug — the real star of the franchise — will show up in “III” or at the awards show. If he does, I’d like to see him attack Alvin and the Chipmunks, the stars of the most annoying kids’ movie franchise of all time.

Award categories include Favorite Buttkicker. Talents vying for that title include Jessica Alba, Kelly Kelly, Taylor Lautner and the venerable Tom Cruise.

• A UFO crashes into Puget Sound, sparking a “Seattle Superstorm” (9 p.m., Syfy). Esai Morales (“Caprica”) and Ona Grauer (“The Collector”) star in this 2012 shocker.
