Notes[]

  • Frank Oz makes a return performance as Cookie Monster, one of the few newer Sesame Street episodes in which he performs throughout the entire street plot and marks his final performance of Cookie Monster on the show to date. Alan Muraoka recalled the experience at an Eternal Con panel[1]:

Frank, when I joined the show in Season 30, was not on the show anymore, and he was directing in Hollywood. And apparently, from what I understand, he had just directed this remake version of a movie called The Stepford Wives. And it did not go well. So he actually came back to Sesame, just to sort of have a day and sort of re-energize. And so, they told me that he was going to be on, and I was so nervous, because, you know, it's Frank Oz. And then he pulled me aside right before we started shooting, and he's like, "Okay. Just so you know, you've got your script, right?" I was like, "Yeah." He's like, "I'm gonna probably not say any of the lines that are on that page." So he said, "Just listen, and react, and go!" And so I was like, "Sure!" I was both terrified and exhilarated. And it ended up being a great day, and being a really fun day. And he came up to me afterwards -- 'cause he didn't know me, 'cause I had just joined the show -- and he was like, "Good job." And I was like, "Thank you, thank you so much."
