Adventure Time! With John DiMaggio (Jake) and Tom Kenny (Ice King)

John DiMaggio and Tom Kenny are two incredible voice actors, each the voices of many beloved characters, such as Bender (Futurama) and Spongebob Squarepants. Today, they're talking about their experiences working as Jake the Dog and Ice King on Adventure Time, a show that has become increasingly less simple and childlike. What is it like for Jake to know his children don't need him, as he ages? And how do we feel about villainous Ice King being revealed to have forgotten his previous life as a selfless caretaker? John and Tom talk to Kim Horcher at San-Deigo Comic-Con.

I absolutely love how John laughs at his own jokes. Loudly.

[@craz2580]

Then he passes out

[@tenkenroo]

Than he wakes up partying with the party god

[@iamalittleboat]

Finn's voice has also gotten a loooot more mature since season 1

[@cdp2543]

champion lemon lime sorry I'm late, finn's voice actor purposly ages finn's voice

[@dwangnoderbora]

Maybe he does a little, but it's mostly because he went through real puberty.

[@hadley269]

Alpha Zalgo he aged with Finn

[@umcThunder72]

That's because he was 12 when he started

[@umcThunder72]

@Aimen the show first previewed only two months after his 13th birthday making it possible he was 12 when the recordings first happened

Take note that both DiMaggio and Kenny starred together in the SpongeBob episode "BlackJack" where DiMaggio was the voice of SpongeBob's cousin Blackjack.

[@commentator4ever498]

Is this that one episode where spongebob used spike shoes to get to his house but then it got to blackjack’s eyes which may have scarred my childhood?

[@kylemenow1666]

@@commentator4ever498 No, you’re thinking of the Tattletale Strangler.

[@nomorekarma5237]

I never thought Ice King and Spongebob were played by the same guy

[@matthewreynoso6904]

You better believe it!

[@5nafFNAFSquirrelsquirrel]

And that Jake the dog, bender, and Marcus Fenix are all voiced by the same person

[@OmniaViridis]

Ice King's character has alot of depth to it. Jake does too but I think Ice King is underrated. And shout out Tom Kenny😍 he's voiced HUNDREDS of characters!!! Such a talented man! ( not trying to leave out John Dimaggio, he's very talented as well)

[@larryhoover2541]

Dimaggio will always be my #1 bending unit

John looks like Jake. And Tom looks like Simon Petrikov aka Ice Kings real name.

[@matthewreynoso6904]

Meaning that the two actually match their respective characters

Luke Skywalker, Bender, and SpongeBob is in the same show... Luke Skywalker = Fear Feaster Bender = Jake Spongebob = Ice King

[@matthewreynoso6904]

Yeah John DiMaggio was going to be on the show too, but unfortunately like many voice actors considered to be on the show, he didn't make it!

[@McCaffery]

I don't have a snappy comment so...............yeah.

[@jerry544]

I love how they talk about how great it is that the story has more depth than the average kids show yet Cartoon Network routinely cancels shows with story elements and pampers shows that are stagnant in their formula and approach. Nothing to do with them but it's sad really...

[@deaconbluezzz]

Love the show, love those guys...and Kim, you're beautiful!
