Nick in the Afternoon was an afterschool block on Nickelodeon, hosted by a popcicle stick named Stick Stickly. Skits included choosing what to dip Stick Stickly in (pudding, pizza sauce, etc) and U-Pick, a wheel (using Stick as the spinner) showing what Nicktoon would play next. There was also Stump Stick, where they would ask Stickly a question and he would try to answer. The question was always a joke.
U-Pick returned on October 7, 2011, as "U Pick With Stick" as a part of The '90s are All That. It is now on The Splat in an on-and-off basis.

Trivia[]
In one episode Stickly was trying to explain the origin of the name Tuesday. He said it was "two days" because it's the second day of the week, only to be corrected by the announcer that it's actually the third. In Europe Tuesday is in fact the second day because the week starts on Monday, so this would confuse European viewers. Tuesday gets its name from the Norse god Tiw, better known as Tyr.
