It’s amazing how well SpongeBob Squarepants holds up as we age into our adult years. There’s something about those goofy characters that never cease to bring immense joy to all demographics. The abundance of SpongeBob memes speaks volumes of the series’ cultural impact. That being said, it is with great pleasure that I announce (relay an announcement from Nickelodeon) that a prequel for the beloved animated program will be arriving this summer.

On Wednesday (Feb. 19), Nickelodeon unveiled the lineup of programming coming to the network in 2020-2021. As per a press release from The Hollywood Reporter, the new series will be titled Kamp Koral: SpongeBob’s Under Years. “Ordered to series in summer 2019, the CG-animated prequel to Nick’s flagship series SpongeBob SquarePants will follow 10-year-old SpongeBob to summer camp. The series will feature the original show’s core voice cast in Tom Kenny (SpongeBob), Bill Fagerbakke (Patrick), Rodger Bumpass (Squidward), Clancy Brown (Mr. Krabs), Carolyn Lawrence (Sandy) and Mr. Lawrence (Plankton), along with series veterans Mary Jo Catlett (Mrs. Puff), Jill Talley (Karen) and Lori Alan (Pearl). Carlos Alazraqui and Kate Higgins will voice new characters.”

Before the prequel series premieres in July, you will get a peak into Kamp Koral through the 3D live-action SpongeBob movie that comes out in May. It has been detailed that The SpongeBob Movie: Sponge on the Run partially takes place at this summer camp too when diving into a flashback. 

Charlotte-based meteorologist Nick Kosir has a habit of going viral on social media, appealing to Gen Z’ers with his ridiculous dance routines and forecasts referencing popular trends and he’s on track to do so again, remixing songs by DaBaby and Roddy Ricch during his latest shenanigan-filled video.

In the past, the Fox 46 Charlotte personality tried his hand at some viral dance challenges, ending up on TikTok and eliciting laughter from thousands of people around the world. He’s back again now and he’s not letting up, creating entire songs to explain what the weather will be like in the coming days.

“Man it’s so cold we’re gon’ see snow and ice/So if you leave the house later, man it won’t be nice,” rapped Kosir to the beat of DaBaby’s “TOES,” which features Moneybagg Yo and Lil Baby. “Better not pull up with no coat cuz temps will drop tonight/That’s my forecast, that’s my forecast, and there’s no warmth in sight,” he continued.

He didn’t stop there though, also remixing the most popular song in the country right now, Roddy Ricch’s “The Box.” “Put some rain boots on your socks/The rain’s gonna drop like a lot/Bust an umbrella out the box/Today, the drip’s gonna drop/And it just isn’t gonna stop,” he rapped along to the melodies originally executed by the Compton artist.

Something tells us that this will continue in the coming days. Which song do you think Nick Kosir should take on next?

Colin Cowherd is one of the most notorious sports analysts on TV right now and for good reason. He is constantly delivering a heavy stream of hot takes on his FS1 show The Herd and he has been known to get people upset, especially Baker Mayfield. Cowherd is particularly good at delivering longwinded analogies, especially when it comes to having ex-wives. With this in mind, it shouldn't be surprising that Cowherd busted out yet another odd analogy while speaking about the cheating Houston Astros.

At one point during a rant, Cowherd spoke about the effect this cheating scandal could have on kids. Cowherd makes the point that kids won't mimic the Astros because they are smarter than that. As he explains, kids look at Pornhub all the time but that doesn't mean they will go out and become pornstars.

These past couple of weeks have been an interesting experiment in whether or not football in the Spring can actually work. The XFL debuted last weekend and saw quite a bit of success. When the XFL debuted at the turn of the century, it was a bit of a sideshow. However, this version of the XFL is much more professional and features some high-caliber players who are trying to prove themselves. The first weekend saw incredible ratings as the first two games raked in 3.3 million and 3.2 million viewers, respectively.

According to Sports Illustrated, the league saw a massive decline in Week 2 as the first two games of the weekend raked in 2.1 and 2.3 million viewers. While these numbers are respectable, it demonstrates a decline in interest from the previous week. Considering this is a new league, the drop off is to be expected as many people only watched week 1 out of curiosity.

Max Kellerman has given Stephen A. Smith a run for his money when it comes to the hot takes being delivered on ESPN's First Take. Kellerman has never been shy to ruffle a few feathers and that's exactly what he does every single time he talks about Tom Brady and the New England Patriots. Kellerman has been claiming for years now that Brady is falling off of a cliff and that the Patriots are better off without him. As you can imagine, this has upset Patriots fans greatly as they look to Brady as some sort of deity.

On yesterday's episode of First Take, Ben Affleck joined the show. The actor is a notorious Boston sports fan and Tom Brady apologist. With this in mind, you can just imagine the discourse that took place. Affleck was aggressive with his criticisms towards Kellerman and was trying to get to the bottom of his comments.

It’s difficult not to automatically connect Kel Mitchell’s name to Kenan Thompson. The All That, Kenan & Kel, and Good Burger co-stars have been collaborators and friends for decades. Most people associate one with the other, and while the actors have remained close, they’re walking vastly different paths. Kel recently visited Fox Soul’s One on One with Keyshia Cole where he talked about becoming a youth pastor as he continues to pursue his entertainment career. He also shared that there was a point when wanted to give up and take his own life, but opted to move forward with hope.

Kel revealed that his career began when he was a 14-year-old theater student on the South Side of Chicago. As the young Kel watched some of his friends die by violence or get sent to jail, he used theater as an outlet. “[My parents] wanted me to do something that was...be in the arts and do something positive so that I wouldn’t follow the wrong crowd.”

The comedian would later meet Kenan on the set of the original All That series when they were teenagers. The pair went on to work together on multiple projects, but Kenan has found his greatest success as the longest-running cast member on Saturday Night Live. Yet, Kel shared that he, too, was up for a spot on SNL and auditioned the same time Kenan did. 

“That was years ago,” Kel recalled. “That was like way back. But yeah, it was me, Kenan, DeRay [Davis], whole bunch of host of other comedians that went in and Kenan got it. So, shout out to Kenan. Super excited for him. That’s my bro.”

During his discussion with Keyshia, Kel talked about a time when he contemplated suicide. Keyshia wanted to know how he handled that because “it’s a real sin to kill yourself.” Kel replied, “No, what that is, is an emotion. In that moment, it’s a mindset. Okay? So what you gotta do is, you gotta think with your spirit.” Check out his interview in full below.

Stephen A. Smith has been one of the most controversial sports media personalities over the last few years and he is constantly providing us with some wild hot takes. Smith's bread and butter is the NBA and at times, his opinions have hurt the feelings of coaches, general managers, coaches, and even executives. Regardless, Smith always tries to maintain his integrity and calls it as he sees it. Today, that's exactly what he did while discussing the differences between the Miami Heat and the Philadelphia 76ers.

When asked who lead their team farther, Joel Embiid or Jimmy Butler, Smith surprisingly stated that he thinks Butler and the Heat are in the best position to win. As it stands the Heat and 76ers are 4th and 5th, respectively, in the Eastern Conference. The Sixers have had their fair share of struggles although their roster has much more proven talent than the Heat.

Antonio Brown was a perennial all-star for the Pittsburgh Steelers during the better part of a decade. Unfortunately, his relationship with the team took a strange turn as he demanded a trade and eventually left for the Oakland Raiders. Eventually, Brown was cut by the Raiders and picked up by the New England Patriots. He only lasted one game with the Pats and now, he is out of work. 

Recently, Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin was on ESPN First Take and he was asked by Stephen A. Smith about Brown's status with the team. Smith was curious as to whether or not the Steelers would ever consider a reunion with the star. While it's not totally off the table, it's certainly not something that's being heavily discussed.

After all the backlash she received for her anti-gay comments last week, you would think that Wendy Williams would be a little more careful on her daytime talk show but, alas, she’s back in the headlines for more of the same. This week started off with the horrific news of the death of Amie Harwick, Drew Carey’s ex-fiancée. Neighbors heard screaming from her residence and when they arrived, they found Harwick dead after being pushed off the third-floor balcony. Harwick’s ex-boyfriend, Gareth Pursehouse, is being investigated in relation to the crime, getting arrested shortly after signs of a struggle were indicated and, when reporting the news to her audience, Wendy Williams thought it would be appropriate to crack a joke about the situation.

During the Hot Topics segment of her popular daytime television show, Williams approached the topic with caution at first, informing her fans that Carey’s ex-fiancée was tragically murdered in the Hollywood Hills. When specifying that the comedian was not involved in her death, she tried to make light of the situation by making a The Price Is Right joke. “Come on down!” enthusiastically blurted out Wendy before making a motion with her head as if to mimic Harwick’s death. Viewers of the show have critiqued the host as being inappropriate and heartless at that moment.

Just last week, she was forced to apologize to the LGBTQ+ community after making comments about gay men and how they should stop wearing dresses and other women’s clothing. We’re sure an apology is coming for this, as well. Watch below at the 10:06 mark.

For the last five years, the Golden State Warriors have been one of the most entertaining teams in the league thanks to their high-powered offense that is completely centered around shooting threes. While their success has frustrated opposing fans, there is no denying that players like Steph Curry and Klay Thompson have changed the game forever. Having said that, this season hasn’t been so kind to the team. Thompson is out for the year with an ACL tear while Curry has missed a large chunk of time due to a broken hand.

These injuries have been a disaster for the Warriors when it comes to viewership. According to Sports Business Journal, the Warriors have experienced a 66 percent drop in ratings. This means the team has 1/3 of the viewers it used to have. It’s also important to note that the entire league has seen a rating decline of 13 percent which is something the Warriors have certainly contributed to.

The reason for this decline can be chalked up to the Warriors roster. It’s certainly not as interesting as it used to be, especially with Curry and Thompson gone. The Warriors are last in the entire league and it’s clear that fans don’t want to watch a struggling team every night. 

Once their stars come back, we’re sure the Warriors will be just fine.
