SpongeBob SquarePants To Host Kids’ Choice Awards While Celebrating 25th Anniversary

SpongeBob SquarePants will have Patrick join him to host the Nickelodeon Kids’ Choice Awards 2024.

Nickelodeon is pulling out all the stops to celebrate SpongeBob SquarePants’ 25th anniversary. It begins with an exciting announcement that SpongeBob SquarePants (voiced by Tom Kenny) and Patrick Star (voiced by Bill Fagerbakke) will host the Nickelodeon Kids’ Choice Awards 2024. This slime-filled, immersive broadcast marks the first time animated characters will host a full-length awards show. It is all happening live from Bikini Bottom on Saturday, July 13, at 8:00 p.m. (ET/PT). Watch the tease below!

The Kids’ Choice Awards 2024 will premiere just before SpongeBob’s anniversary, which started on July 17, 1999. The event will feature an animated setting enhanced with advanced graphics and augmented reality, simulcasting across Nickelodeon, TeenNick, Nicktoons, and Nick Jr. The awards show, honoring kids’ and fans’ favorites across movies, television, music, sports, and more, will be held at Pauley Pavilion on the UCLA campus in Los Angeles. Nominees, presenters, and celebrity appearances will be announced soon.

Tom Kenny, the voice of SpongeBob, shared his excitement:

“SpongeBob SquarePants combines creator Stephen Hillenburg’s love of the ocean with his passion for animation and quirky character comedy. From its first splash, SpongeBob has resonated with people of all ages, and I’m truly grateful to celebrate 25 years of positivity, optimism, and nautical nonsense. Our entire cast and crew look forward to celebrating SpongeBob’s Silver Jubilee with our friends and fans across the globe!” Bill Fagerbakke, the voice of Patrick Star, added, “When I first saw the pilot episode ‘Help Wanted’ in 1998, I was thrilled. This celebration of creativity, uniquely layered humor, and playful delight have characterized SpongeBob SquarePants for the past 25 years. To portray Patrick, who still makes me laugh, amidst my stellar castmates and brilliant creative team is a gift beyond measure.”
