Throughout Kablam!'s initial run, Nickelodeon launched various blocks featuring the characters Henry and June with one of the last ones titled Nicktoon World News airing in 2001 (a year after the show ended). The block was animated by Kablam! creator Mark Marek and features the duo advertising various then upcoming films and other Nickelodeon TV series in a newsroom setting.

The block ran for about half a year airing a good amount of bumpers. Very few of them have been uploaded online with the most notable ones resurfacing at various points in time.

Notable Bumpers

Lost

In the Summer of 2001, a bumper promotions of Disney's upcoming film The Hunchback of Notre Dame 2 aired. No footage of the bumper has resurfaced, with only 1 screenshot coming from a video mentioned by YouTuber Nickstory Archives.

A bumper featuring Henry making bleep sounds similar to each segment's opening was mentioned by YouTuber JTWC10 who re-uploaded most of the found bumpers, but this has yet to be officially verified.

Found

In February 2015, YouTuber Goryparodies uploaded a Nickelodeon commercial recording featuring Butch Hartman and his then-upcoming new show The Fairly OddParents while mentioning his 2 previous shows Dexter's Laboratory and Johnny Bravo.

In August 2016, YouTuber that90sguy uploaded a bumper advertising the then-upcoming film Pokémon 3: The Movie featuring Henry wearing a Pikachu mask while referring to himself as "Hen-kachu."

In August 2017, YouTuber Steven Vargas uploaded a bumper featuring the show Rugrats getting a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.

In August 2023, YouTuber Absurb JANGO uploaded the Jimmy Neutron: Boy Genius film bumper with the character Mr. Foot sporting the same hairstyle as Jimmy's.

In October 2024, The AVTB Archives and TheVintageTVArchive‬ uploaded a series of segments produced on August 9th, 2001, showcasing segments featuring promotions for Monsters Inc, Hey Arnold! The Movie (then called "Hey Arnold: Arnold Saves The Neighborhood"), Jimmy Neutron: Boy Genius, Justice League: The Animated Series, The Mummy, and Non-Stop Nicktoons Weekend. Most of these segments are missing sound effects and only have dialog. In one of the Jimmy Neutron segments, Jimmy was due to call Henry and June during their report, with Henry getting replaced with a robot version of himself. Debi Derryberry, the voice for Jimmy Neutron, supposedly recorded dialog for Jimmy Neutron's interaction with Henry and June in the days or weeks leading up to the segments broadcast.
