I had no idea that he was referring to the actual name of the show ['The Lost Episode']." The live action scenes were directed by Mark Osborne (brother of the episode's storyboard director Kent Osborne), and were hosted by Tom Kenny in character as Patchy the Pirate, the president of the fictional "SpongeBob SquarePants" fan club. | 70,899 | wow-train |
