Nick in the Afternoon was a programming block on Nickelodeon that was aired from 1993 to 1999 on weekday afternoons during the summer, hosted by Stick Stickly, a talking popsicle stick.
[edit] Regular segments
During its first summer, the programming consisted of normal Nickelodeon shows that would have aired regardless, but come its second summer, Nick in the Afternoon made some key changes, instead showing preselected Nicktoons with added segments such as "U-Pick" (viewers pick what show and episode they want to see) and U-Dip (viewers pick which substance Stick Stickly is dipped in or any substance at all using their bare feet). The segments, although pre-selected, were chosen by a big spinner which Stick Stickly would be tied to and acted as the arrow.
[edit] Stick Stickly's address
When giving viewers the address at which they could write him, Stick Stickly would sing a little (and easily memorizable) jingle: "Write to me/Stick Stickly/PO Box 963/New York City/New York State/10108."
Lemon Demon has made a song about Stick Stickly, where he mentions him singing the address.
