It is currently unknown whether the new Nickelodeon Short "Nickelodeon Screen Test" is an Nickelodeon UK Exclusive Nick Short or whether it will also air on Nickelodeon's international channels, however, the word 'favourite' in James Maslow's first question is spelt 'favorite', which is the North American "American English" spelling of the word instead of "British English".
