Los Angeles — It's time to play the music. It's time to light the lights. It's time to stream the video.

The Muppets are appearing in skits and other online videos with several YouTube stars, including Mike Tompkins, Lindsey Stirling, Elliott Morgan and John and Hank Green.

The videos were filmed on location at YouTube Space LA, a new production facility operated by the streaming service in West Los Angeles.

"It's not every day that our YouTube creators get to work with the world's most famous frog, the world's most beautiful pig, a stand-up comedy bear and the drummer of the almost-legendary band, the Electric Mayhem," said YouTube Space LA head Liam Collins in a statement.

The collaboration kicked off last month when Gonzo, Rizzo and Kermit doppelgänger Constantine popped up in a detective-themed video on YouTube's VSauce3 channel. The video has already amassed more than 1 million views.
