Nickelodeon says Super Bowl LVIII Live From Bikini Bottom will feature a can't-miss opening segment from Allegiant Stadium re-creating SpongeBob's iconic Sweet Victory performance; hijinks throughout the game from fan-favorite villain Plankton; appearances by the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles; reimagined end-zone cannons firing Slime, Krabby Patties, and pickles; undersea AR jellyfish within the stadium; Slime trails and pineapples; and surprise appearances by beloved Nickelodeon characters in the crowd. The production will continue to showcase one-of-a-kind content and Nick-themed elements - guest appearances, original on-field graphics, virtual filters - throughout for kids and families.
The full cast of SpongeBob SquarePants will take part in Nickelodeon's Super Bowl LVIII broadcast.
CBS Sports analyst Nate Burleson and play-by-play announcer Noah Eagle will be in the booth, calling the game alongside characters from SpongeBob SquarePants, joined by an animated SpongeBob SquarePants (voiced by Tom Kenny) and Patrick Star (voiced by Bill Fagerbakke). Sandy Cheeks (voiced by Carolyn Lawrence) will make her sideline reporting debut, and Larry the Lobster (voiced by Mr. Lawrence) will provide live commentary. NFL Slimetime's Young Dylan and Dylan Schefter will also report live from Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas, and Dora the Explorer (voiced by Diana Zerme o) and Boots (voiced by Asher Colton Spence) will help explain penalty calls during the game.
