Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Amy Poehler developed Bessie from her Upright Citizens Brigade character Kippie, a hyper-competitive girl scout who never made it to air.
The Mighty B! arrived at Nickelodeon's weird 2008 transition period between SpongeBob dominance and live-action takeover, making it a cult artifact of dying golden-age animation.
