Studio DC Hosted by Selena Gomez is a Disney Channel special which first aired on October 5, 2008. It is a collaboration between The Muppets Studio and Disney Channel in an effort to introduce the Muppets to a younger audience, and a follow-up to Studio DC Hosted by Dylan and Cole Sprouse.
Sketches included the Cheetah Girls performing "Dance Me if You Can" with Miss Piggy, Demi Lovato performing "This Is Me" with Beaker ("after a jealous Miss Piggy drags Kermit the Frog off the stage"), Selena Gomez learning the art of joke-telling from Fozzie Bear, Statler and Waldorf teaching the art of criticism to Moises Arias and Jake T. Austin, Jason Earles and Jason Dolley visiting the Swedish Chef's craft services table, and David Henrie and Floyd Pepper playing guitar.
Portions of the special have subsequently aired on the Disney Channel as music videos running in-between other programming.
