Day 18 - Big Question

I cannot, for the life of me, figure out how these people end up acting on kid shows...

For instance, Summer and I are enjoying "Imagination Movers" which seems to feature 4 dudes dressed like, well, movers who are apparently a band (sort of)...

I went to the library (aka Wikipedia) and found out these guys were 4 friends and neighbors who pitched the show to their local PBS affiliate.

Now I have no idea why but I find this fascinating. How did this come about? Which one was the first to suggest forming a band to play kid rock?

Truth be told, the songs weren't half bad and I'm pretty excited to report they are releasing a full length album through Disney on March 18th, 2008 titled "Juice Box Heroes" which is good news.

Yet, none of that really addresses the career arc of the hosts of Blues Clues or Yo Gabba Gabba - I refuse to believe their dream was to do that. I feel like they had to have somehow just stumbled into a gig and said "Eff it."

How do I know this? Because they have bills to pay like the rest of us.
