Leonardo DiCaprio Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Nickelodeon Super Bowl

Nickelodeon's Super Bowl broadcast features Ninja Turtles, Leonardo DiCaprio, and SpongeBob characters providing commentary, with more fun surprises to come.

The Nickelodeon Super Bowl broadcast of Super Bowl 58 has been nothing short of entertaining, with beloved characters like SpongeBob SquarePants and Dora the Explorer taking center stage. But the latest surprise has been the appearance of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, who made a grand entrance just after the reveal of none other than Leonardo DiCaprio in the crowd.

The hilarity ensued as the actor, sharing a name with one of the Ninja Turtles, was brought up just before Michelangelo appeared on screen, launching pizzas at the camera. The version of Michelangelo seen in the broadcast is the same one from the recent Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles movie, and fans can look forward to seeing him and his brothers in a new animated series, Tales of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, set to premiere on Paramount+ this summer.

The Nickelodeon broadcast, titled Super Bowl LVIII Live from Bikini Bottom, has featured in-game commentary from CBS Sports analysts, alongside characters like SpongeBob SquarePants, Patrick Star, Sandy Cheeks, and even Dora the Explorer, who is on hand to explain penalty calls during the game.

The broadcast has also included appearances from fan-favorite villain Plankton, reimagined end zone cannons that fire Slime, Krabby Patties, and pickles, undersea AR jellyfish within the stadium, and surprise appearances from beloved Nickelodeon characters in the crowd. It's been a whirlwind of entertainment and excitement, and fans can't wait to see what other surprises Nickelodeon has in store.
