Nickelodeon’s Super Bowl broadcast saw SpongeBob take playful jab at Leonardo DiCaprio’s dating history

"That’s about his dating history."

Nickelodeon’s Super Bowl alternate broadcast was a fun SpongeBob-led trip to Bikini Bottom

The Nickelodeon broadcast for Super Bowl LVIII had lots of humor and kid-friendly moments while still presenting the on-field action of a close and dramatic game.

SpongeBob SquarePants voice Tom Kenny never watched a Super Bowl before calling Sunday's big game for Nickelodeon

Bill Fagerbakke, on the other hand, loves all things football. "But the voice actors’ real-life affinity for sports was irrelevant when it came to their Super Bowl performances," says Rolling Stones' Kristi Lee Yandoli, detailing how Sunday's Nickelodeon broadcast came together with a crew of about 200 people. "SpongeBob and Patrick were meant to be a breath of fresh air and provide an alternative perspective on the game, in contrast to other Super Bowl coverage that typically includes more hyper-masculine and macho commentary." As Kenny jokes: “The sum total of my football knowledge could fit in Plankton’s jockstrap. When they brought up I was doing it, I said, ‘I really don’t know much about football,’ and they said, ‘That’s fine because the concept is going to be that the Super Bowl at Allegiant Stadium is just dropped into Bikini Bottom and it’s this crazy, unfamiliar, alien thing to SpongeBob.”

This was better than the CBS broadcast of the game. I am completely serious. Nickelodeon did everything right here, to the point where the only question I have to ask is where they can possibly go from here after a near flawless broadcast that might've been the most impressive broadcast I've ever seen in my life.
