These were the Indian hosts:

  • Zain Khan, Devika, Payal - hosted the show-within-the-show Celebrity interviews which became very popular with the Bollywood celebrities as they were allowed to let their hair down. The hosts played pranks on the celebrities, and barraged them with embarrassing questions

The original Australian hosts of the program were Dan Mills and Emily Perry. After a year Emily left and Amber Virtue came on board. They hosted the show for another few year then both decided to leave the show at the same time and were replaced by Scott Cain and Asha Kuerten and changed name from Studio D to Studio Disney during this transition. For unknown reasons Scott left (wasn't on air for a few months and Cartoon Dave and a few others filled in) some months in then Nathaniel Buzolic (Nat) took over his role and stayed for the remainder of the series. The Australian hosts were also involved in various 'shorties', in which they would have to undertake particular tasks. These included Dare Dan (where Dan would be dared to do something by viewers) and Piper Micoy (in which Amber tried out various occupations, such as jobs at Disneyland and an observatory). These were aired between shows, not usually within Studio D. The block later with AMTV was removed due to Nickelodeons 'sarvo' popularity.

The Asian version of Studio D was filmed at Ascent Media in Singapore (Season 1) and then moved to Media Corp Studios in Singapore where it was renamed to Studio Disney and had a new set for season 2.

The Indian version of Studio Disney was filmed in Mumbai, India.
