On the 25th anniversary year of SpongeBob SquarePants, SpongeBob himself (voiced by Tom Kenny) and Patrick Star (voiced by Bill Fagerbakke) will host the Nickelodeon Kids’ Choice Awards 2024. The slime-filled, immersive broadcast will air live from the pair’s undersea home of Bikini Bottom on Saturday, July 13, at 8 p.m. ET/(PT) on Nick. This marks the first time the animated characters will host a full-length awards show.

Kids’ Choice Awards 2024 premieres just ahead of the SpongeBob series anniversary, which launched July 17, 1999, and will take place in an animated setting through enhanced graphics and advanced augmented reality, simulcasting across Nickelodeon, TeenNick, Nicktoons and Nick Jr.

Kids’ Choice Awards 2024 honors kids’ and fans’ favorites across movies, television, music, sports and more. Nominees, presenters, and celebrity appearances will be announced soon.

“SpongeBob SquarePants’ combines creator Stephen Hillenburg’s love of the ocean with his passion for animation and love of quirky character comedy,” said Kenny (voice of SpongeBob SquarePants). “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!”

Said Fagerbakke (voice of Patrick Star): “When I first saw the pilot episode ‘Help Wanted’ in 1998, I was thrilled. I felt flushed with a childlike joy. 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.”

Following Kids’ Choice Awards 2024, Nickelodeon says it will roll out a slate of 25^th anniversary programs for SpongeBob SquarePants that will include new original content across the Paramount ecosystem; one-of-a-kind location-based experiences; exclusive consumer products and games, first-to-market partnerships and more.
