Nikki Novak here for Young Hollywood. We are backstage at the Hall of Game Awards. We have the exclusive interviews with the winners and the presenters. They said that it's a little cold back here. Anybody have a jacket? Thank you, Shaq. Best dressed ever. I am here with Shaq. Just kidding, Nick Cannon. Co-host tonight. How did it go?

I get Shaq all the time though, so you weren't that off.

Well, you're so close. I mean, it's like he's like could be twins kind of thing. We have fun tonight, though. Did you have fun?

We did.

What was your biggest moment of the night?

Wow. Uh, probably when Shaq tricked me and hit me into the pit. It was a foam pit, though.

Yes. So, how's the landing?

Uh, not good at all. Didn't feel good? And I was chafing because of the house.

And you were chafing?

Yes.

You were just talking to three of the Fierce Five.

Yes.

What did you say to them? What did they say to you?

I said it's unfair that I had to do an interview following them because I don't have a gold medal, so I'm a big fan of them and uh obviously, it's fun watching them and competing for our country.

And was there anybody here that you kind of hadn't met before that you were sort of excited to sort of see and meet?

Uh, always always fun to see Gabby. I've met her before, but she's a real cool, Gabby Douglas. She's a great athlete, great role model for young kids, so.

Who did you just hug?

Uh, Gabby Douglas and Shaquille O'Neal.

And also at the same time?

We did some Snoop hugging too.

Okay, she hugs you. It's Snoop's giving out the hugs today. Now, how how is he as a hugger?

Well, he's his name is Snoop Lion now. And lions are like big cuddly creatures. He's wearing a pretty fluffy jacket, so it's great today. But really, we've known him for a long time. We're actually, we can say old friends at this point. It's been years, so it's great to see him.

Okay, so dynamic duo, you're gonna have a potato sack race and you can you can be in the sack with anybody. Who is going to be your duo? You and who?

We're doing the race.

Yeah, we're doing the race.

Probably Jessica Ennis.

Why is that?

Well, she's an athlete.

Okay.

She's a heptathlete, so she'll probably win the race.

Okay, so she's got a lot of talent. Have you seen Jessica Ennis?

I haven't.

I'll have to check it out.

Google her. Check. It's easy. I'll just get on his shoulders and let him do the rest. Right? He could just get in the potato sack. And I'll be on his shoulders and he won't even notice that I was there.

I would pick Brian Cushing. He's he's uh he's a linebacker, but he's fearless, he's fast, and he's very, very competitive and I think together we might either fight so much in one potato sack. Or we would win, dominate.

And you'll be accepting an award here next year.

Yes, exactly.

What would be Nick Cannon's anthem?

Something by Mariah Carey.

Really?

Did you expect me to say something else?

No, not really. Not really. What's the favorite song, though? Of all time?

Yeah. Uh, she doesn't like the song that I think is the favorite, but it's off of the first album, we'll just say that.

Can you sing it?

Someday. Oh, someday. It's my joint right there.

Your highlight reel is playing to what song?

Probably Lose Yourself by Eminem. Um, I love it. For me, it's all about working hard and making sure you work harder than everybody else and that song is kind of what I listen to before I go on the field every game.

One of the categories is dance machine. I would love to see your celebration dance. Go for it.

Pretty great to the drum. It's pretty great. Oh, hey James. I'm still in ours. Oh, he's got the pudding. He's got the pudding. Got to go with a little bit of the robot, you know. Or or what's uh uh, Cruz does the salsa. I'm gonna take it. Oh, it's done. Picture Crew. I'm gonna take it. Yeah, picture Crew, I'm gonna take it.

If you were to touchdown dance, what would it look like?

It is probably not uh suitable for television.

You're kidding, why?

Cause I would take all my clothes off.

Are you serious? On the field. So maybe you should perform next year at the halftime show.

That'd be a major wardrobe malfunction. It'd be like Janet Jackson all over again. Except I'll have both nipples out.

So you wanna take us out, Mr. Host?

Absolutely. It's going down, you know what it is. Nick Cannon backstage at the Hall of Game Awards. Young Hollywood. You hear it?
