On a Tuesday afternoon in November, former NFL wide receiver Nate Burleson stood patiently in a CBS studio as slime was applied to his face. A Nickelodeon crew member armed with a ketchup bottle full of the green stuff squirted tiny globs onto a rag and carefully dabbed him with it.
His NFL Slimetime cohost, 13 year-old Young Dylan (né Dylan Gilmer), who also stars in the channel’s Tyler Perry vehicle (also named Young Dylan), met the same fate.
“Here we go, champ,” Burleson chanted to his lightly complaining coworker by way of motivation. “Here we go.”
