History \r
Yo Gabba Gabba was developed by two Southern California fathers, Christian Jacobs and Scott Schultz, who first started working together as teenagers, producing and directing skateboarding videos. Their goal was to design a kids show that was entertaining while featuring real artists and real performers. Both had no previous experience writing for television, let alone childrens broadcasting or education. In developing the show they took inspiration from a number of sources including Sesame Street, The Electric Company, Pee-wees Playhouse, as well as Sid and Marty Krofft puppet shows Banana Splits and H. R. Pufnstuf.\r

In 1999, after becoming parents, Jacobs and Schultz started playing around with ideas for childrens television and produced a pilot independently financed by small loans from friends and family. Yo Gabba Gabba! did not get much attention until it started circulating on the Internet. Jared Hess, the director of Napoleon Dynamite and Nacho Libre, saw the pilot online and recommended it to Brown Johnson, the executive vice president and executive creative director of Nickelodeon Preschool. Yo Gabba Gabba! premiered on Nickelodeon on August 20, 2007.\r
