Super Bowl 55 Halftime to Feature Nickelodeon 'Slime-Lights' of Chiefs vs. Bucs

CBS announced Wednesday it will showcase Nickelodeon-style highlights from the first half of Super Bowl LV between the Kansas City Chiefs and Tampa Bay Buccaneers during Sunday's halftime show.

Richard Deitsch of The Athletic noted the "slime-lights" will be presented by former wide receiver Nate Burleson, who was part of the broadcast team when Nickelodeon showed the Wild Card Round game between the New Orleans Saints and Chicago Bears on Jan. 10.

Coverage of the Saints' 21-9 win over the Bears was aimed toward the younger Nick audience with virtual slime cannons that shot off when a team scored a touchdown and special graphics during replays.
