CBS Super Bowl promo reveals 49ers star's deep knowledge of "SpongeBob"

It’s long been known how goofy San Francisco 49ers star tight end George Kittle can be, even while he’s in the middle of a game. And with this Super Bowl being the first airing on Nickelodeon, Kittle was destined to be the perfect guy to help promote the alternate broadcast.

CBS shared a video on TikTok over the weekend from a promotional shoot in which Kittle is standing in front of a "SpongeBob Squarepants"-inspired backdrop.

In the video, Kittle flashes all sorts of "SpongeBob" knowledge, saying he wished the crew had some jellyfish nets before saying, “Firmly grasp it,” in reference to an original "SpongeBob" episode.
