The news comes alongside the announcement of season 2 of Yo Gabba GabbaLand!, which premiered last summer on Apple TV+ and will return early next year, on Jan. 30, for a brand-new season.
Over nearly 70 episodes spanning from August 2007 to November 2015, the original Nickelodeon series made its mark with its giant, colorful costumed toys (Muno, Foofa, Plex, Brobee and Toodee) and a revolving door of musical guests, including Weezer, Solange, The Roots, Erykah Badu, The Shins and My Chemical Romance. Biz Markie had a regular segment called 'Biz's Beat of the Day,' during which the late 'Just a Friend' rapper would demonstrate beatboxing techniques.
Yo Gabba GabbaLand!, which premiered in August 2024, was inspired by the original four-season run, with new host Kammy Kam standing in for O.G. ringleader DJ Lance Rock. The Apple TV+ spin-off also featured a string of music stars in season 1, including Anderson .Paak, Red Hot Chilli Peppers' Flea and Diplo. Wednesday's (June 18) announcement promises 'a new star-studded lineup of 'Super Music Friends' and special guests to help kids and families learn life lessons through song, dance and joyful discovery' for season 2.
Back in December, Kammy Kam and the whole Yo Gabba GabbaLand! crew took over NPR's Tiny Desk Concert, with an audience of small kids infiltrating the workspace and Thundercat coming out to join the crew for a song.

John Oliver's Moon Mammoth rebrand of Erie's minor league baseball team draws record-sized crowd
A minor league baseball team in Western Pennsylvania drew big crowds and lots of attention on Saturday night. The Erie SeaWolves, a Double-A affiliate of the Detroit Tigers, became the Erie Moon Mammoths for one day only. This quirky rebrand comes after the team was selected by comedian John Oliver and his team at HBO's Last Week Tonight for the surprise transformation. Mayor Joe Schember even issued a proclamation, declaring July 19, 2025, Moon Mammoth Day, to celebrate the occasion, NBC News affiliate WICU reports. "The inherent eccentricity of minor league baseball is something that we felt a real affinity with," Oliver said. "The more we looked into it the more we thought there might be fun to have. And, once we put out the request for 'who would be down for rebranding,' it was not surprising but edifying to see just how many teams went 'yeah we'd be down for that.'" The SeaWolves had no say on their rebrand name or logo. The Last Week Tonight team dug into Erie's history to pick Moon Mammoths, a name inspired by the 1991 discovery of woolly mammoth remains in a local lake. Oliver threw out the first pitch at the game, which drew a record-setting crowd of more than 7,000 fans. The SeaWolves will don the Mammoths' branding three more times throughout the summer.

Why the Silver Surfer is the superhero for our cosmically fraught times
In a world plagued by too many problems, how to explain the problem of too many superheroes? It's no cosmic riddle: Low-imagination Hollywood power people keep wasting money and mindshare overpopulating every last screen with comic book mesomorphs whose collective strategy for saving this world predominantly involves returning us to the familiarity of childhood. Biff, bang, pow! Sometimes it's fun. The rest of the time, it's annoying — in part because there's only ever been one comic book superhero truly capable of rescuing us from the loneliness of the information age.
