You might not have noticed if you don’t have a young kid in the house, but Nickelodeon’s Yo Gabba Gabba!, currently in its second season, is totally huge. A third TV season green-lit, a live tour coming this spring, a feature film in the works: Those brightly-hued oddballs are a phenomenon. "We’ve been trying to develop this idea of Yo Gabba Gabba! for such along time," exec producer Scott Schultz told Variety yesterday. "To all of a sudden have squishy pals and plush toys instores…it’s humbling."
The show has booked some legitimately cool guests for the first two seasons, including Jack Black, Andy Samberg, the Shins, and Chromeo. So, as the Yo Gabba empire continues to expand, now’s the time to ask: Which stars would you like to see cavorting with Brobee, Foofa, Plex, and Co. when season three comes around? Personally, I’m pulling for Danny McBride doing a toned-down version of his Kenny Powers shtick. Very toned-down. C’mon, he’s hilarious with kids. (Okay, maybe that one is a little too edgy even for Yo Gabba.) On the music front, I wonder if Jay-Z (pictured) might be interested in one-upping his wife’s upcoming Wow! Wow! Wubbzy! arc. Or, considering the hipster cred the show has already accrued, maybe Yo Gabba’s producers should give Animal Collective a call. Those guys seem like they already live in a manic cartoon. What do you think?

That dude from ‘The Soup’ (E!). YEAH!
Well, recent Idol castoff Megan Joy has expressed interest in appearing on the show. She’d be hilarious!
Flight of the Conchords. Might be an interesting crossover. They could sing “Robots.”
Flight of the Conchords yes. I also thought of Paul Rudd. In addition, maybe the Lonley Island could dish up a kid friendly but still groovy song.
Foo Fighters!! They all have young kids and a great sense of humor! Somebody please make it happen!
Greg Behrendt. Funny, hipster, and he has been in bands before…
I just want to see his dance, really…
Tangerine Tambourine – a new children’s music group from Alabama. Their songs are pretty catchy (my whole family gets stuck singing them) but they’re not annoying.
Chad Pennington
i agree, FOO FIGHTERS!!!!!
Foo Fighters, Ween, They Might Be Giants,Devo, Mike Patton, Danny Elfman, Heck try for Metallica!!!
Hulk Hogan, the Rock, or some other over the top Wrestler, that would be funny
PAUL RUDD!, flight of the conchords, johnny depp c’mon he did spongebob he has to do yo gabba gabba moving units! haha
josh or crazy steve from drake and josh?
foo fighters is an awesome idea!
I would love to see Jay Z or even his lovely wife on the show! Would be quite interesting.
We would love to see Dave Matthews on Yo Gabba Gabba! He would rock!!!
Jack Johnson would be great also! Megan Joy is such an awesome idea!
Eugene Mirman, Stephin Merritt, Judah Friedlander, Kanye West, Dave Hill, and Santino Marella.
I think Will Ferrell would be the PERFECT guest!!
i agree with dengar, mike patton would have to be my wild card choice. paul ruebans (pee wee), tim and eric, or the residents seem like a natural fit.
I agree with people on Facebook about Christopher Walken! He’d do a great dancey dance.
Christopher Walken, all the way!
I’m tied between FooFighters and Metallica! I think either choice to “ROCK” Gabba Land would be AWESOME! My kids dig both bands…and so far I haven’t seen any long hair metal bands on there. It’s all Devo and Ska etc.
Elvis Costello, DEVO, Johnny Depp, Willy Nelson, Blondie, JK Rowling, RL Stine
Will Farrell for sure, Look at how he did in the movie ‘ELF’
i agree paul rudd, will farrel, flight of the conchords, and megan joy from idol, but i would also like to see metric, the goodlife, seth rogen, and joel mchale from the soup would be awesome he did include bobree in an episode. ps my daughter loved the jack black episode hands down her favorite.
I (n my kids of course) would love to see jay Z n beyonce no doubt about them drew berrymore(srry don’t know how to spell her name),tina fey,as far as musicians I say Neyo,John Legend, Alicia Keys (tat’d be awesome), or even stevie wonder, miley cirus, jonas brothers
snoop dogg would be a good guest! because he’s funny and he reminds me of dj lance rock! and dj lance rock should give him an outfit too! c’monn you have to put snoop dogg on there!!
Agree with the suggestions for Foo Fighters and Christopher Walken. Also think Gwen Stefani would be great!
Jay-Z, Kanye and for sure Flight!!
Sasha Baron Cohen, and hell, another Jack Black episode. He was perfect! Green Day, Tim Burton, Danny Elfman, John Stewart and another vote for Joel from The Soup
