Nickelodeon broadcast team will be there for Super Bowl LVIII
SpongeBob fans are in for a treat at Super Bowl LVIII. While the Super Bowl will air on CBS, there is also a kid-focused telecast planned this year.
Nickelodeon has announced that for the first time in history, the Super Bowl will also be broadcast on Nickelodeon which will include classic Nickelodeon features like green slims and the cast of “SpongeBob SquarePants.”
Yes, you heard it right, after years of waiting SpongeBob is finally going to make a cameo at Super Bowl LVIII.
Along with SpongeBob, Super Bowl fans are also getting Patrick Star who will join Nate Burleson and Noah Eagle in the booth to call the game. And how can they miss the lady star of the show? Sandy Cheeks will also attend the game and handle sideline duty.
In addition to hosting the show, SpongeBob will take the stage to perform “Sweet Victory” in the opening segment. Following the passing of the show’s creator, Stephen Hillenburg, fans had previously expressed their desire for Maroon 5 to perform this song during the 2019 Super Bowl halftime show.
While this wish couldn’t be fulfilled during the 2019 Super Bowl halftime show, Nickelodeon has now decided to grant fans’ wishes. The performance of “Sweet Victory” by SpongeBob will not be part of the halftime show but can be enjoyed in the opening segment of this year’s Super Bowl LVIII.
So, not only will fans watch Noah Eagle, Nate Burleson, SpongeBob, Star Patrick, and Sandy Cheeks hosting the game, but will also enjoy the long-awaited “Sweet Victory” performance.
This broadcast will begin at 6.30 p.m. ET. Tune in on time so you don’t miss the iconic performance and your favorite Nickelodeon characters hosting the game.
