Tonight on CBS, Mota the punk rocker teaches a dance class, picks up beatboxing on Hollywood Boulevard and even eats a cricket for a YouTube food challenge.

"I'm going undercover as Skylar Morris, a creative girl with a punk-rock style who wants to create her own YouTube channel. While I was in disguise, there were quite a few challenging moments just because I was being introduced to a lot of unfamiliar things," said Mota.
