The sponge-tastic ratings marks the show's highest ratings since the premiere of "Whale Watching" in August 2018. “SpongeBob’s Big Birthday Blowout” has also become the highest rated broadcast for Nickelodeon and all kids television networks in the U.S. for 2019.
It’s SpongeBob’s birthday in “SpongeBob’s Big Birthday Blowout,” which features for the first time the celebrated voice talent behind SpongeBob, Patrick, Mr. Krabs, Sandy, Squidward and Plankton - Tom Kenny, Bill Fagerbakke, Clancy Brown, Carolyn Lawrence, Roger Bumpass and Mr. Lawrence, respectively - playing live-action doppelgänger versions of the animated characters they voice! In the one-hour special, Bikini Bottom is getting ready for a very special day: SpongeBob's birthday! To mark the occasion, Sandy, "helped" (read: hindered) by the inhabitants of the underwater city, decide to organise a surprise birthday party for SpongeBob.
In order to keep the birthday boy away from the preparations, Patrick and SpongeBob go on a crazy trip to the surface world, where they come across a few familiar characters such as JimBob and Manward during lunchtime rush at The Trusty Slab restaurant. Meanwhile, the Bikini Bottom residents set up a surprise party for SpongeBob.
The special also features special guest stars David Hasselhoff (Baywatch, The SpongeBob SquarePants Movie), Kel Mitchell (All That, Kenan & Kel, Good Burger, Game Shakers), Jack Griffo (The Thundermans) and Daniella Perkins (Knight Squad), and cameos from Jace Norman (Henry Danger), Victoria Beckham, Tiffany Haddish, Sigourney Weaver (Ghostbusters), JoJo Siwa, Michael Strahan, RuPaul and Gilbert Gottfried.
