Aw, this is cute. I don’t remember any celebs really going on Sesame Street when I was a kid.
Yearssss ago I went to this Q&A with some of the puppeteers/writers/producers that was moderated by Bobby Moynihan and I was shocked at the small turnout but also laughed because most of us were millennials. I definitely started crying when my fave, Grover, came out.
Later they brought out a newer character and their puppeteer and there was only polite applause lol. The panel even mentioned that we obv weren’t there as parents but for our childhood selves, otherwise we’d know who that character was.
I wonder how many times it happens when they have celebrity guests where this A-list actor reverts back to their childhood selves and suddenly becomes emotional at meeting Ernie.
They spoke about that! I know I’ve seen it in other articles as well - even when people see the puppeteers they interact with the character as if they’re the real person 🥹 I would too, ngl. My cute aggression would just take over.
He’s the beeeeest. But I can also see how Grover can be annoying to people. He’s just so unapologetically himself.
Growing up there was barely any Grover merch so I told everyone Cookie Monster was my fave (he was blue too! And loved cookies!) and suddenly all the gifts I received from family (and sometimes) friends was Cookie Monster stuff lol.
I need someone to analyze why we love certain characters because the Count is a choice! I love him too, don’t get me wrong, but he felt like one of the few “adults” of all the characters 😆
I’m an oldest daughter who had a disabled dad so I very much gravitated toward the more adult characters lol god this makes so much sense why you gotta therapy me 😂 I also just really love math even now. Why I went into journalism I have no idea.
Cookie Monster is amazing but he’s no Grover 🥲 At least you got blue stuff? Lol
😂😂😂As someone who has no education in psychology or similar, it makes sense! You were looking for an equal of sorts but also someone who could teach you.
I get you on the math thing. Until AP calculus I was sooooo good and loved it.
