Tune into the brand-new SpongeBob SquarePants episode "Goodbye, Krabby Patty?", guest starring Emmy Award-winning actor Jon Hamm (Mad Men) as the charismatic, sharp-witted and devastatingly charming advertising agency executive Don Grouper, who has a big plan for the Krabby Patty that may prove irresistible, even to the impervious Mr. Krabs, premiering Tuesday 28th February 2017 at 5:30pm, only on Nicktoons UK & Ireland! In the episode, Mr. Krabs manufactures Krabby Patties on an industrial scale, but it drives a wedge between SpongeBob and Patrick. "Goodbye, Krabby Patty?" also marks the 200th episode of SpongeBob SquarePants!
