Yo Gabba Gabba

Yo Gabba Gabba! is a television show for children produced by Christian Jacobs (of the ska-punk band the Aquabats) and Scott Schultz, two dads who didn't care for most kids' shows and wanted to create an alternative that was fun, educational, and creative. Yo Gabba Gabba! follows the adventures of DJ Lance Rock (played by Lance Robertson), a man with a magic boom box, and his pals, a handful of friendly robots and monsters -- tall red Cyclops Muno, yellow robot Plex, blue cat-dragon Toodee, green and striped Brobee, and pink, bubbly, flower-topped Foofa. Regular guests on the show include rapper Biz Markie, who demonstrates the art of beatboxing in the segment "Biz's Beat of the Day," and Devo founder Mark Mothersbaugh, who brings drawings to life in "Mark's Magic Pictures." Yo Gabba Gabba! has also attracted a wide range of musical guests who perform original songs on the show, including the Roots, Of Montreal, the Flaming Lips, Jimmy Eat World, Rocket from the Crypt, Money Mark, the Killers, Jack Black, Weezer, and Paul Williams In 2024, Scott Schultz and Christian Jacobs reimagined Yo Gabba Gabba! into the new series Yo Gabba GabbaLand!, with much of the same format, an expanded setting and a new host, Kammy Kam (Kamryn Smith). Muno, Brobee, Plex, Foofa, and Toodee return and the show still features headline-grabbing musical performances. New collaborations include Anderson .Paak, The Linda Lindas, Betty Who, Thundercat, Portugal. The Man, and Kurt Vile, among others
