Univision will simulcast this year’s Super Bowl broadcast in Spanish but perhaps more curiously, Nickelodeon will broadcast a child-friendly Super Bowl, using the theme of Spongebob Squarepants.
As if the world wasn’t already Black Mirror enough, SpongeBob (Tom Kenny) and Patrick Star (Bill Fagerbakke) will be in the broadcast booth, with Sandy Cheeks (Carolyn Lawrence), Larry the Lobster (Mr. Lawrence), Dora The Explorer (Diana Zermeño), and Boots (Asher Colton Spence) providing further cutting-edge insight and unrivalled technical analysis.
