John Leguizamo will need YOUR preschooler's help to make sure the show goes on!

Plot[]

The show begins with the song "I Gotta Feeling", performed by the Backyardigans and other Nickelodeon characters. After the song, an announcer introduces John Leguizamo. He tells that he will be the show's host and invites DJ Lance (of Yo Gabba Gabba!) onto the stage. Rock is greeted with cheers from the audience. He is followed by the rest of the characters from his program. They perform "Lovely, Love My Family" with The Roots.

After the performance, John Leguizamo returns and tells the audience that he has lost his special dancing shoes. He needs these shoes for the concert's grand finale. Characters from Dora the Explorer try to help him find them, but they have no luck. John is supplied with a pair of quacking shoes. He agrees to wear them briefly as he introduces Wyclef Jean and his daughter Angelina. They sing "Love" until the announcer tells the audience that it is time for a commercial break.

John Leguizamo welcomes the audience back to the show after the commercials. He kept searching for his shoes and is presented with a pair of rain boots, along with an umbrella. John puts the boots on and warns the crowd in front of him that it will rain soon. Confetti "rains" from the ceiling as Laurie Berkner's band performs "My Family". Afterwards, stage manager Sherri Shepherd tells John that he may not need his dancing shoes. She says that the Fresh Beat Band has not arrived yet, so the big finale (in which the host would need dancing shoes) might not happen.

The Fresh Beat Band calls John Leguizamo on their cellphone. They mention that on their way to the stage, they encountered a chicken waiting to use the crosswalk. They tell John that they will be at the stage after the chicken crosses the road successfully. While they wait, the audience is served to a duet of Katrina and the Waves' "Walking on Sunshine" by Kai-lan and Colbie Caillat, plus Colbie performed her breakthrough hit Bubbly.

The next scene shows Sherri helping John look for his shoes. They realize that they have checked nearly every room in the stadium. Sherri leads John to the only room they have not examined yet: The Room of Wonder. The Wonder Pets sing "Joy to the World". The next act involves Dora the Explorer and Wyclef Jean singing "La Bamba" together. Another commercial break follows.

John Leguizamo walks onstage, this time wearing clown shoes. He decides to call the Fresh Beat Band again to check on their progress. Over a video call, the band members told that they stopped for a snack in the park on their road trip. There, they met "this guy" (Justin Bieber) singing a song. Bieber sings a short verse from "Baby" over the phone. The Fresh Beats say "goodbye" to him as they come back to their road trip.

Joe (Donovan Patton) from Blue's Clues is introduced (he later returned in the series' revival). He asks the audience to help him find his dog, Blue. After finding her, Joe sings "Snack Patterns Song" alongside the characters from Team Umizoomi. As the song ends, Joe notices that the song made Blue hungry and gave her a "party in her tummy". The Yo Gabba Gabba! characters sing the "Party in My Tummy" song as they have a snack.

John begins to worry that he will never find his shoes and that the Fresh Beats will not arrive in time for the finale. He admits that the stress is making him angry. Kai-lan sings him a short song about how to calm down. He takes a deep breath, relaxes, and thanks her. While he does this, the Fresh Beat Band finally arrives. The audience is asked if they are ready for the Fresh Beats' grand finale. Cheers and applause follow. John interrupts this and says that he is not ready without his missing shoes.

John asks the Fresh Beats to help him find his shoes along with Dora. He describes them as flashy and red with gold stars on them. The Fresh Beats bring the shoes out and tell John that he left them in their car after their dance rehearsal. He dances with his shoes as the Fresh Beats perform "Great Day" and "Stomp the House". As the band sings "Let's Get Loud", guests from earlier return to dance along. The credits roll as the audience is thanked for coming.
