My Week with Birthdays: The Birthday Show

In 2005, Sprout launched with two original content airing between shows - The Good Night Show with Melanie Martinez and The Birthday Show with future Sunny Side Up Show host Kevin Yamada.

In The Birthday Show, host Kevin Yamada read viewers' birthday cards delivered to him by Mr. Mailman (a trait later carried on by The Sunny Side Up Show), shared real people doing party activities like making crafts and recipes or playing games, and showed us how to send in a card, while some Sprout characters would sing a catchy original song.

The Birthday Show was also a block when Sprout turned one in 2006, but we'll focus on that later this week.

The Birthday Show ended sometime in 2007 when The Sunny Side Up Show debuted. Both Yamada and Mr. Mailman would appear on the new live block. Yamada said he was excited about doing birthday cards live. Currently, Tim Kubart of The Sunny Side Up Show hosts a series of the same name on the Hellosaurus app.
