I was a freshman in high school and had a 3 year old little brother. Would watch this with him all the time in 1969 and beyond. Fun memories. We're all getting old!
shimmy 1973 Schermerhorn: Growing older is a chronological fact of life. Growing up, thankfully, is not. Embrace/discover/enjoy the wonder that is the world that surrounds you. And remember, its best when you share it with others..
No love for Mr. Hooper?! His death taught me how to cope with grief at a very young age that I still use now. Don’t bottle your emotions, talk, and it’s ok to cry. Gen X will always remember him.
DaisyAggression love Mr. Hooper..very sad how Big Bird handled that. He couldn’t quite understand. Definitely one of the best surfers on the East Coast lol
Wherever they are, Jim Henson and Caroll Spinney must be filled with joy over their legacy. As a first-generation Sesame Street watcher, it brings tears to my eyes to think that they aren't here, but I am so grateful for their contributions to this world. I will always be thankful for the lessons that they taught me, as well as my children. ❤ #SesameStreet50
I got tears in my eyes just seeing all these crazy puppets back on screen! Watching Elmo and the whole crew was my childhood so congrats SS for a whole 50 years!!!
Sesame Street was brought to you today by the letters T and J, and by the number 50. Sesame street is a production of the Children's Television Workshop (Sesame Workshop)
Sesame Street made my entire life as a young kid in the 1970's. Anyone else remember the number painter? He wore a bowler hat and did not speak on camera.. He painted the featured number of the day all around the city like a boss! They were brilliant & funny skits ❤️❤️❤️
BIG BIRD: Thaaaanks , Thanks .....has anyone seen Thanks. Excuse me sir do you know this person I'm supposed to meet this T.hanks guy TOM HANKS: yes i know that guy BIG BIRD: you do TOM HANKS: that's me. BIG BIRD : your in my seat , oh well I'll just sit beside you. LOL oh i love that part of the anniversary the other night.
Sesame Street is brought to us by the letters A (for anniversary), C (for celebration) and S (for Sesame Street), by the number 50 and by all the fun-loving neighbors who live there: people, cows, children, dogs, monsters, Honkers, Dingers, Ernie and Bert, grouches, birds, Snuffleupaguses (or Snuffleupagi), bears, worms, vampires (that thirst for numbers), frogs (maybe), bands, wolves, pigs, fairies and seals.

Kermit: (to the audience) Hi-ho, Kermit the Frog here, and I am speaking to you from the world-famous street in the world, Sesame Street. Now as you may know, Oscar sneezed in Elmo’s blanket and dropped it in his can. As a matter of fact, we will interview the Sesame Street residents. (to Elmo) Excuse me, Elmo. This is Kermit the Frog of Sesame Street News, can I ask you a question? Elmo: Of course, Kermit. Kermit: Why did Zoe rip your blanket? Elmo: She wanted to hold it, but Elmo wouldn’t let her. Kermit: I see, and did you say that you and Zoe weren’t friends anymore? Elmo: Yes, that’s right. Kermit: Hmm… this is more serious. (Kermit turns to Telly.) Kermit: Telly, if you were roller skating this morning, why didn’t you look where you’re going? Telly: I tried to look where I was going. I was just pretty shaky and still learning, that’s all. Kermit: This is worse than I thought. (Kermit turns to Super Grover.) Kermit: Super Grover, if you flew up into the sky and saw Elmo’s blanket, why did you crash into Elmo and Telly? Super Grover: I never meant to do that. When I saw Oscar throw Elmo’s blanket into his can, I was only trying to get it back. Kermit: I can see that. (Kermit turns to Big Bird.) Kermit: Big Bird, if Oscar sneezed into Elmo’s blanket and threw it in his can, why didn’t you say something? Big Bird: I saw him do that, but I didn’t know what to say. Kermit: That’s actually a good point. (Kermit turns to Zoe.) Kermit: Zoe, why did Elmo hurt your feelings? Zoe: I didn’t mean it. What I did was an accident. I just wanted to hold the blanket, but he wouldn’t let me. Kermit: Interesting. (Kermit turns to Gordon.) Kermit: Gordon, where were you when Oscar threw Elmo’s blanket in his trash can?

(Kermit turns to Miss Piggy.) Kermit: Uh, Piggy? Did you happen to see Elmo chasing after Telly and his blanket? Miss Piggy: Oh, Kermie, I did see what happened. Kermit: Really? Miss Piggy: Yes. As much as I wanted to save Elmo's blanket, I didn’t want to go into Oscar’s trash can because of how filthy it is, and I did not want my beauty to go to waste. Kermit (to the audience): Well, folks, the residents of Sesame Street know about Elmo's blanket and some do not. This is Kermit the Frog returning you to your regularly scheduled movie already in progress. (Kermit leaves the scene.)
They are the classicists who jump on the “Sesame Street used to be one of the best shows, but in the 2010s it changed for the worst by pandering to kids!”. Let’s just face it, people. Sesame Street has been one of the greatest shows for a whole half-century of its existence, even in the 2010s!
I love the part at 2:22-2:53 (even though Tariq forgot to mention Honkers, Dingers, Twiddlebugs, Wolfgang the Seal, Jackman Wolf, Roosevelt Franklin, Sherlock Alan, Chris, Nina and Mr. Johnson) ! I can always watch it and say it along! I love it 😻🥰 so much, I also wrote it in the notes 📝 on my phone 📱📲.
I Love Sesame Street! I'm 3 years older than Sesame Street and would still sit happily and watch with anyone✌️😍🤟Have the happiest new year ever everyone!
As a child of the 80s, I grew up watching Sesame Street daily, and even now, I occasionally find myself knowing something from having learned it by watching. Several of the songs and skits are still deeply entrenched in my memory. There's a generation of kids who are too stuck in their tablets and tech toys......and are missing out on this absolute gem. RIP Jim Henson and Carroll Spinney. Without them, this beautiful world would not be. 💜💙💜💙
R.I.P Carol Spinney aka the puppeteer of Oscar and Big Bird. You will dearly be missed. Thank you for the Sesame Street memories, songs and friends that you met along the way. 💞😭
Try going back up the tunnel, but if that doesn’t work, try getting the old Atari from Huxley and opening the portal through the Atari. That definitely works.
Sesame Street has such warm memories for me. My kids and I loved to watch it together all the time. Now they are adults with children of their own, so the memories continue through a new generation. Sesame Street is so special to me that I have 7 of my favorite characters tattooed on my back. Bert & Ernie, Oscar the Grouch, Cookie Monster, Big Bird, (Super) Grover and The Count! ❤️🧡💛💚💙💜 (Roy G Biv) #SesameStreet50
I grew up watching Sesame street as a little girl. Years later, I made sure my son did too. I had Sesame street CD'S for him to listen to, even ones from my childhood like the "In Harmony" album. This show teaches so much, reading, counting, letters and more. But best if all it teaches empathy, kindness, compassion and just what it is to be a good person and treat everyone how you want to be treated. Now, if only we could get all the work leaders to watch it together and learn those valuable lessons. That we are better when we choose love. When we toss away bigotry and hate. When we come together in acceptance. Literally, if the world would follow one rule, be kind to each other. Just be kind, the world would be such a good place. Thank you Sesame Street, for everything.
❤️😊 I'm a kid again!!!.... I remember when I was 5 or 6, have a big bird toy sitting on a blue rocking chair with a book and it plays sesame street song too.
5 generations of my family have experienced Sesame Street; my grandma, my parents, me, my sons and now my granddaughters. I love how the traditions blend with new ideas. I'm 61 and still love the Count and his bats🦇🦇🦇🦇🦇🦇
@@merlinandmurdoch7837 no the movie is called the adventures of Elmo in grouchland I actually rewatched this movie in July of 2021 and even though I’m a 14 year old who doesn’t like watching baby shows this is the only one that I can watch Any day if you haven’t seen this movie I recommend you to try watching it’s a great movie
Ha I love that line ( Oscar) what’s the matter guys you seem a little lost ( Elmo) Elmo tries to avoid grouchland at any all cost I haven’t seen that movie in a long time
Jim Henson started Sesame Street. Not only that, he also have Fraggle Rock, Muppet Show and Muppet Babies. He also produced some of todays puppeteers like Frank Oz (voice of Grover, Cookie Monster, Bert, Animal, Miss Piggy, Fozzy Bear, Sam Eagle and Jedi Master Yoda).
I never grew up with Sesame Street, not to my knowledge. I mostly remember Dora the Explorer, Blues Clues, Barney, Teletubbies, Big Comfy Couch and DragonTales But still Happy 50th Anniversary, Sesame Street!
Happy 50th anniversary to Sesame Street I can't believe it's been that long I used to watch it as a kid what a legendary show it is and may the Soul and Spirit of Carroll and Jim forever rest in peace without them the show wouldn't be as legendary as it is today thank you to the both of them rest easy 👏🏻😎🎉/🙏🏻😥🌷
Tell the sesame street crew for me congratulations on their 50 years of bringing children the smile & joy. I remembered when I was young, they made me feel happy & brought me laughter. But now I'm all grown up 😭 & sadly I had to live life, so I kinda understand how Oscar the Grouch feels from time to time. But I still remember my good times when I watch them, so again, thank you, congratulations, & keep up the good work.
I'm so lucky & blessed to have grown up watching (& learning from) Sesame Street & The Muppet Show. 💕💕 Seeing them never gets old, no matter how old I get!😉#foreverchildhoodnostaglia!
I was a freshman in high school and had a 3 year old little brother. Would watch this with him all the time in 1969 and beyond. Fun memories. We're all getting old!
Yep. 1955 & 1966. Yikes
1st Sesame Street: Nov. 10th, 1969
To shimmy 1973 Schermerhorn : we’re all aging apparently except for Big Bird, who still claims to be 6. Who does he think he’s fooling?! 🤣

DaisyAggression love Mr. Hooper..very sad how Big Bird handled that. He couldn’t quite understand. Definitely one of the best surfers on the East Coast lol
DaisyAggression well because it was naming people who currently live on Sesame Street. Mr hooper passed so I guess he doesn’t live there
Cec mass I had more of an impression it was a look back of the last 50 years.
I mentioned him along with Snuffleupagus, big bird's friend.
I loved Mr. Hooper.

Wherever they are, Jim Henson and Caroll Spinney must be filled with joy over their legacy. As a first-generation Sesame Street watcher, it brings tears to my eyes to think that they aren't here, but I am so grateful for their contributions to this world. I will always be thankful for the lessons that they taught me, as well as my children. ❤ #SesameStreet50
Same!
Jim/Caroll are here. Proof is that you kindly remember them both. Smile, the world is a better place for them both being in it.
Don’t forget about Jerry Nelson as well!
So nicely written. Thank you.
Agreed! ❤️❤️❤️
This just made the inner child in me so happy 🥰

I love the use of the original Sesame Street theme song from the first season and even the funky chimes used in the funding credits during the 70s.
Baby Lamb Creations i loved the Elmo in grouchland reference!
Sesame Street was brought to you today by the letters T and J, and by the number 50. Sesame street is a production of the Children's Television Workshop (Sesame Workshop)
Elmo did his own movie “The Adventures of Elmo in Grouchland”.
RUclips wiki page
Which explains the reference to that movie at 2:00-2:03. I don't think Elmo wants to go back there from the tone he's in....
Remember the guy who died
1:57 Elmo's voise sounds funny!!!🤣😂
Vanessa Williams is the queen of grouchland
I can't believe that Elmo and crew forgot to put on their seat belts.
Remember kids, if there's a buckle, buckle up.
Why are there seatbelts on a bus???
Exactly - if there's a buckle (which there wasn't except for in Tariq and Jimmy's seat) LOL
Dehydrated Raccoon it’s a bus
@@canadiancatdog1236 I just said that because Jimmy and Tariq had seatbelts on. I'm aware that regular buses do not have seatbelts on them.
Dehydrated Raccoon I didn’t notice that, but that makes sense
2:03 “Elmo tries to avoid Grouchland at any and all costs!”
Christopher Cervantes I guess he doesn’t want to lose his blanket again.
2:00
'The Adventures of Elmo in Grouchland' reference
RIP Caroll and Jim. Rest easy, they got this. :)
And Jerry Nelson
@@nathanfuller8118 absolutely. Please forgive my omission.
@Philip Kippel yeah he was not important and we don't talk about him
Northern Calloway, Mr Hooper, the other black guy whose name I forgot
James Hoke Matt Robinson?
It looks like Elmo still has PTSD from the whole Grouchland experience
Watched this as a kid int he 80s and 90s. Many many happy times. Thank you for my childhood.

BuddhaGanesh loved him! That’s art in trench coat style lol
Yes!!!!! That was Paul Benedict-Mr. Bentley o n The Jeffersons
2:22 I WOULD ALWAYS BUST OUT LAUGHING AT THAT PART😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
I Agree With Liz Potter
My friend : “so,uhhhh,what kind of music you listen to?”
Me: *sweats nervously*
It doesn’t matter what age you are Sesame Street is for everybody. And also their theme song is timeless. #ForeverInOurHearts
Amen to that! Happy 50 years Sesame Street!
Best show my resolution is to binge the entire show till date
711Lo You do realize that there’s 4500 episodes of Sesame Street right? Near impossible to binge mate
And most of the episodes aren’t even available to the public.
“ Elmo tries to avoid Grouchland at any and all costs”.
Was...was that a diss at the movie or....
(For The record, I actually liked it) :)
David Peters Very possible. 😅
Elmo's racist, is what it was.
Oscar the grouch is my spirit animal.
1:59 nice reference to the 1999 movie
All this skit was missing is my all-time favorite sesame Street character Cookie monster.
And Abby Cadabby. At least "four" of my favorite characters were there and that is Big Bird, Rosita, Bob (cameo), and Julia (cameo)
Never too old for SESAME STREET
Angelia Gurner, Nobody is.
Agreed!

Mama Bear: …And I was cleaning up the house until Baby Bear rushed in and told us the whole thing.
Baby Bear: Yeah, I saw it happen.
(Kermit turns to Miss Piggy.)
Kermit: Uh, Piggy? Did you happen to see Elmo chasing after Telly and his blanket?
Miss Piggy: Oh, Kermie, I did see what happened.
Kermit: Really?
Miss Piggy: Yes. As much as I wanted to save Elmo's blanket, I didn’t want to go into Oscar’s trash can because of how filthy it is, and I did not want my beauty to go to waste.
Kermit (to the audience): Well, folks, the residents of Sesame Street know about Elmo's blanket and some do not. This is Kermit the Frog returning you to your regularly scheduled movie already in progress.
(Kermit leaves the scene.)
65 people who dislike this didn’t grow up with sesame street
They are the classicists who jump on the “Sesame Street used to be one of the best shows, but in the 2010s it changed for the worst by pandering to kids!”.
Let’s just face it, people. Sesame Street has been one of the greatest shows for a whole half-century of its existence, even in the 2010s!
I love the part at 2:22-2:53 (even though Tariq forgot to mention Honkers, Dingers, Twiddlebugs, Wolfgang the Seal, Jackman Wolf, Roosevelt Franklin, Sherlock Alan, Chris, Nina and Mr. Johnson) ! I can always watch it and say it along! I love it 😻🥰 so much, I also wrote it in the notes 📝 on my phone 📱📲.
Stinky the StinkWeed, Bruno The TrashMan, Irvine (Oscar's niece), Miles, Farley, Fluffy (Oscar's Elephant), and Grungdetta.
This made my heart melt😭😭😭❤️
And I still love Sesame Street❤️
Me too.
I Love Sesame Street! I'm 3 years older than Sesame Street and would still sit happily and watch with anyone✌️😍🤟Have the happiest new year ever everyone!
*looks at profile pic* Wait, one of you is 54 YEARS OLD?!
Well, like they say, age is just a number! 😊
How precious! Very cute segment! I’m sure Jimmy’s kids loved it.
Sesame Street will live FOREVER
I didn't know big Bird was six he needs a babysitter his parents are irresponsible.
@maltese 84 🤔 that could be true
So in bird years he is ∞ years old
Bob Johnson He lives on his own in a nest.
HIS PARENTS ARE DEAD, OK?!?
@@robertlloyd122 Whoa...chill
"Elmo tries to avoid Grouchland at any and all cost!" Elmo in Grouchland was my favorite as a kid. I can't get my nieces to watch it! They refuse!
Thanks, Elmo, Big Bird, Cookie Monster, Bert and Ernie for inspiring me for learn and laughter for 5 decades.
You know the best part! Sesame Street celebrate it's 50 Anniversary. and still make a promise unlike stupid Woodstock that year in 2019.
As a child of the 80s, I grew up watching Sesame Street daily, and even now, I occasionally find myself knowing something from having learned it by watching. Several of the songs and skits are still deeply entrenched in my memory. There's a generation of kids who are too stuck in their tablets and tech toys......and are missing out on this absolute gem. RIP Jim Henson and Carroll Spinney. Without them, this beautiful world would not be. 💜💙💜💙
*GETS HIT BY NOSTALGIA BOMB WHEN ELMO SAID GROUCHLAND*
Rest In Peace Big bird
And Oscar the grouch.
Big Bird and Oscar are alive - you JUST saw them in the video!
@@robertlloyd122 they're talking about Caroll Spinney, the OG Big Bird and Oscar
@@Blossom44100 I know - I was maintaining that Spinney may be gone, but BB and Oscar will live forever. :)
And Count von Count
50 wow! Learned how to read and write by watching sesame street,im 48 yrs old,this brings me back
Hehe Sesame Street is a timeless show. I'm only 27 and I felt nostalgic watching this. xD
No matter how old I get, I get so happy and excited the minute Elmo hits the scene.😊
I would have liked to have seen a reference to Mr. Hooper and David
This is actually the best Sesame Street rap on NBC.
Who tf dislikes this. You get exactly what you ask for.
Probably because Cookie Monster wasn’t on it.
R.I.P Carol Spinney aka the puppeteer of Oscar and Big Bird. You will dearly be missed. Thank you for the Sesame Street memories, songs and friends that you met along the way. 💞😭
Im still lost. I think i took a wrong turn and ended up in grouchland.
Try going back up the tunnel, but if that doesn’t work, try getting the old Atari from Huxley and opening the portal through the Atari. That definitely works.
Just saw this not too long ago.
That was beautiful.
Beautiful? More like awesome!
Missing my childhood. This show taught me so much. And I miss Mr. Hooper ❤️ That episode taught me a very big lesson in life.
Nice and all but where tf was Cookie Monster
They mentioned him in the rap 🤷♀️
He was mentioned by Tariq
He Probably Stopped @ Dunkin Donuts For Cookies 🍪 And Coffee
Abby Cadabby wasn't in the picture too just mentioned by Tariq too.
Wonderful! I never knew The Count's name was Count Von Count! See? Youre still teaching us, Sesame Street! Thanks!
Sesame Street has such warm memories for me. My kids and I loved to watch it together all the time. Now they are adults with children of their own, so the memories continue through a new generation. Sesame Street is so special to me that I have 7 of my favorite characters tattooed on my back. Bert & Ernie, Oscar the Grouch, Cookie Monster, Big Bird, (Super) Grover and The Count! ❤️🧡💛💚💙💜 (Roy G Biv) #SesameStreet50
My heart nearly stopped when Tariq mentioned Julia!!
I can't imagine Sesame Street without Elmo, big bird, and cookie monster🤗
Sharie Morgan They’re the main three.
@@Thomperfan you're right
The fact that they mentioned Lefty made this 100% worth it
I grew up watching Sesame street as a little girl. Years later, I made sure my son did too. I had Sesame street CD'S for him to listen to, even ones from my childhood like the "In Harmony" album.
This show teaches so much, reading, counting, letters and more. But best if all it teaches empathy, kindness, compassion and just what it is to be a good person and treat everyone how you want to be treated. Now, if only we could get all the work leaders to watch it together and learn those valuable lessons. That we are better when we choose love. When we toss away bigotry and hate. When we come together in acceptance. Literally, if the world would follow one rule, be kind to each other. Just be kind, the world would be such a good place.
Thank you Sesame Street, for everything.
24 years old and the 3 year old in me love this 😆❤️
Happy 50th anniversary
this made my heart really really warm, ow.
I haven't cried in awhile, until the day i heard about Caroll Spinney's passing. It was just like losing a family member.
He said baby deer instead of baby bear 😂
Well nelson perez, when I say the Sesame breakdown rap, I say Baby Bear.
There isn't a lot of shows that almost every generation can say they grew up watching them. Jim and Caroll created something incredibly special
❤️😊 I'm a kid again!!!.... I remember when I was 5 or 6, have a big bird toy sitting on a blue rocking chair with a book and it plays sesame street song too.
I really like how they made the real school bus background.
Damn this made me smile like a kid in a candy store.
5 generations of my family have experienced Sesame Street; my grandma, my parents, me, my sons and now my granddaughters.
I love how the traditions blend with new ideas.
I'm 61 and still love the Count and his bats🦇🦇🦇🦇🦇🦇
Oh man they started to play the _proper_ closing theme at the end there
Happy 50th Anniversary Sesame Street
I love that Elmo mentions his first movie I really love it
Whas his first movie not follow that bird?
@@merlinandmurdoch7837 no the movie is called the adventures of Elmo in grouchland I actually rewatched this movie in July of 2021 and even though I’m a 14 year old who doesn’t like watching baby shows this is the only one that I can watch Any day if you haven’t seen this movie I recommend you to try watching it’s a great movie
1:01 Rap Begins
Happy 50th Anniversary Sesame Street. It’s so sad to know that Big Bird (el the kind man who played him) didn’t make it.
And he also voiced Oscar the grouch
All of Richard Hunt's old characters that got retired after his death being brought up made me so happy
im gonna have this song stuck in my head all day...
"Is this the local or the express"
" Oh, it's just a bus ".. 0:50
Ha I love that line
( Oscar) what’s the matter guys you seem a little lost
( Elmo) Elmo tries to avoid grouchland at any all cost
I haven’t seen that movie in a long time
Jim Henson started Sesame Street. Not only that, he also have Fraggle Rock, Muppet Show and Muppet Babies. He also produced some of todays puppeteers like Frank Oz (voice of Grover, Cookie Monster, Bert, Animal, Miss Piggy, Fozzy Bear, Sam Eagle and Jedi Master Yoda).
🥺Sesame Street has special place in everyone’s heart ❤️
2:29 Betty Lou mentioned!!!
Happy *50th Anniversary* I love you *Ernie*
Elmo tries to avoid Grouchland at any and all costs! *T H U G L I F E*
I never grew up with Sesame Street, not to my knowledge. I mostly remember Dora the Explorer, Blues Clues, Barney, Teletubbies, Big Comfy Couch and DragonTales
But still Happy 50th Anniversary, Sesame Street!
This was how I learned my ABCs before I spoke any word of English and now I am a doctoral student. Sesame Street rocks!🎉🎉🎉
Happy 50th anniversary to Sesame Street I can't believe it's been that long I used to watch it as a kid what a legendary show it is and may the Soul and Spirit of Carroll and Jim forever rest in peace without them the show wouldn't be as legendary as it is today thank you to the both of them rest easy 👏🏻😎🎉/🙏🏻😥🌷
Rip to all of our favorite best friends from sesame street that have passed away from over the years they will be missed RIP 😭
Tell the sesame street crew for me congratulations on their 50 years of bringing children the smile & joy. I remembered when I was young, they made me feel happy & brought me laughter. But now I'm all grown up 😭 & sadly I had to live life, so I kinda understand how Oscar the Grouch feels from time to time. But I still remember my good times when I watch them, so again, thank you, congratulations, & keep up the good work.
we all know we can sit Uber to Sesame Street
Happy 50th Anniversary to all our Friends at Sesame Street and thanks for all the WONDERFUL MEMORIES!:):):)
I remember when Mr. Hopper died and Sesame Street had a fire and Luis and Maria wedding
It's a good day to sing a song with the sesame street 😊😊😊
Jimmy:"Happy 50th anniversary, stay gold!"
Rosita:"actually, Mr Fallon, I am only six years old"
*LAW AMD ORDER
SPECIAL VICTIMS UNIT*
SKYmario marioSKY That was Big Bird not Rosita that said that.
This would be a fun new theme song of Sesame Street!!!
Anyone else hear him say “baby dear” not “bear”
Me
Lol yeah
@@Altaf_1cool When I say the Sesame breakdown rap, I say Baby Bear.
My childhood is happy that sesame street is stilling going no matter what.
i grew up in the 70's and 80's watching this show and it blows my mind that its still a thing after 50 years
To think my son is a 3rd generation watcher of Sesame Street feels me with warmth and rightness ❤❤❤
I'm so lucky & blessed to have grown up watching (& learning from) Sesame Street & The Muppet Show. 💕💕 Seeing them never gets old, no matter how old I get!😉#foreverchildhoodnostaglia!
Rest In Peace Big Bird 😔
And Oscar too
Dillon Radke 😤😢😔✊🏼
@@Dj_serrano728 Big Bird and Oscar the Grouch aren't dead.
Man, the puppeteers are so good I almost thought for a second that Jimmy Fallon was actually real!
