Jack Black on Yo Gabba Gabba

Last year my wife and I were flipping through the channels and we came across this new show on Noggin called Yo Gabba Gabba. We watched it and I remember thinking at the time - “This is what happens when kids at raves get pregnant and suddenly decide that it would be a good idea to make a newer, hipper version of Sesame Street for their baby.” I’m serious. I watched it and I could have sworn that I recognized DJ Lance from a rave that I went to back in 1995 when I was living in San Diego. Tell me you can’t picture him dancing way too fast with a whistle in his mouth and a glow stick in each hand.

But the point is that we watched the whole episode. I can still remember the main song - Yeah, there’s a party in my tummy.”

So, fast-forward to Friday night. Noggin has been advertising for weeks now that Jack Black was coming on the show. We set our DVR to capture it, you know, just in case we were out or something. It was almost like being a kid again, waiting for the Michael Jackson Thriller video premiere on Mtv (remember when Mtv played videos?).

I won’t even pretend that I haven’t completely lost it. But I’m too far gone to even care anymore. DJ Lance is da bomb, and I’ve got just the physique to pull off the orange jumpsuit for halloween this year. You wait.

Anyway, for those of you who missed it, here’s a little preview.
