We caught up with the voice of SpongeBob, Tom Kenny, to talk about the 20th anniversary of the show.
Tom Kenny's voice might be more instantly recognizable to most pop culture fans than members of their own family. From CatDog to Adventure Time, Spyro the Dragon to the Powerpuff Girls, Kenny's voice is heard far, wide, and often by cartoon and video game devotees. But the role he's most associated with is the one he's been voicing for the past 20 years, the absorbent, yellow, porous and iconic SpongeBob SquarePants.
Den of Geek had the opportunity to chat with Kenny about reaching the 20th anniversary of SpongeBob's first episode, the late SpongeBob creator Stephen Hillenburg, and how he's still having as much fun voicing the goofy goober as ever.
