Christian Jacobs is the lead singer of the Aquabats and co-founded the hit children's television show "Yo Gabba Gabba!" Jacobs and his good friend Scott Schultz took their ideas for instilling values through TV and funded the pilot for the first episode themselves. What seemed like a longshot became a huge success and the positive values of the show definitely stem from the Mormon background that both creators share. Jacobs is also the great-grandson of Mormon leader LeGrand Richards and completed his missionary work in Japan.
