Nickelodeon Taps Washington Capitals PA Announcer Wes Johnson as Promotional Voice for 'SpongeBob’s Big Birthday Blowout'

Caps PA announcer Wes Johnson tabbed as promotional voice of SpongeBob SquarePants’ 20th anniversary special


From Emmys to powerful auditions on America’s Got Talent, the Washington Capitals have attracted stellar national talent as contributors to games.

The latest triumph comes from Capitals PA announcer Wes Johnson, who is the promotional voice of “SpongeBob’s Big Birthday Blowout,” Nickelodeon's brand-new TV special celebrating 20 years of SpongeBob SquarePants. Wes’s voice can be heard in the official trailers and promotional content for the special.


“My agent Vanessa Gilbert At SOLID Talent in LA got me the audition and they liked what they heard thankfully,” Wes told RMNB. “I’m grateful to them all. It makes the kid in me so happy. I raised my kids on SpongeBob and laughed as hard or harder than they did the entire way. It’s an honor to do these promos. I can’t wait to see the Birthday Bash special.”

"SpongeBob’s Big Birthday Blowout" will premiere on Friday, July 12, at 7 pm (ET/PT) on Nickelodeon USA. The plot is based around a surprise birthday party SpongeBob’s friends are throwing for him and their efforts to keep it secret. To do so, SpongeBob’s best friend, Patrick Star, sends the pair to the live-action world of the dry land above where they hang out with David Hasselhoff, who makes a guest appearance as himself.

The special kicks off the "Best Year Ever", Nickelodeon's year-long global celebration commemorating 20 years of SpongeBob SquarePants, one of the most iconic TV series and characters ever created, which will lead up to the Paramount Pictures and Nickelodeon Movies theatrical, The SpongeBob Movie: It's a Wonderful Sponge, coming summer 2020.

Wes started his career as an actor and comedian and has worked in radio, TV, and film. The Arlington, Virginia native was the last PA Announcer for the Washington Bullets, the first PA Announcer for the Washington Wizards, announces for the WTT pro tennis team the Washington Kastles, and has been the arena voice of the Stanley Cup Champion Washington Capitals since 2000. He also currently serves as the voice of the NHRA.

Wes has become a popular voice in video games, most notably The Elder Scroll series, Fallout Series, and Star Trek: Legacy for Bethesda Softworks. He recently voiced an Mag’Har Orc Noble in World of Warcraft.
