SpongeBob and Patrick Voice Actors Are ‘Just as Giddy About This Job as We Were 25 Years Ago’: We Wouldn’t Trade ‘With the Biggest Movie Stars in the World’


Tom Kenny and Bill Fagerbakke spoke with Variety about the joys of playing SpongeBob Squarepants and Patrick Star for the last 25 years.

Variety: You guys were just at New York Comic Con and have done a lot of traveling with this show over the years, but is it still special when you get to go abroad and see “SpongeBob” get attention at events like Mipcom? It’s always fun to walk around the streets of a place like this, though, at a huge market, and see the giant billboards for other stuff, and then see Spongebob, who is just this oddball weirdo compared to all these posters of beautiful men and women FBI agents holding handguns or wearing chainmail and wielding swords. At New York Comic Con last weekend, Nickelodeon and Paramount announced a two-season renewal for “The Patrick Star Show,” shared a clip from the upcoming half-hour 25th anniversary special “Snow Yellow,” and sneak peeked an early look at “SpongeBob & Sandy’s Country Christmas,” a stop-motion holiday special coming later this year.
