J.K. Simmons Guest Stars in Brand-New SPONGEBOB SQUAREPANTS Episode

Detroit native, Farmers Insurance pitch man and Oscar winning actor (Whiplash), J.K. SIMMONS, will be making his Bikini Bottom debut during a brand-new episode of SpongeBob SquarePants premiering Saturday, March 4, 2017 at 10 a.m. (ET/PT) on the Nickelodeon cable channel.  In the episode, "Snooze You Lose," Squidward is so tired that SpongeBob and Patrick can't wake him up, but they won't let him miss his big audition!

J.K. Simmons voices Maestro Mackerel, the middle-aged and impatient conductor of the Bikini Bottom Philharmonic.  Beautiful music sends Maestro into ecstasy, but bad playing is physically painful to him and the mackerel shows his displeasure by tying instruments into knots (usually around the unfortunate musician's head!)
