What's My Letter?

What's My Letter? is a Sesame Street game show hosted by Guy Smiley from season 3. (First: Episode 0370)

Prairie Dawn was the show's contestant, and the object of the game was to guess a letter of the alphabet - in this case, the letter "E" - given some clues. She manages to get the answer right when she hears the prize will be a mouse, which frightens her!

This was one of many tracks from the 1971 LP The Muppet Alphabet Album that was later recorded as a segment on the show, with the puppets lip-syncing to the original album recording. The sketch is a spoof of the television game show What's My Line?

Notes

• Jim Henson puppeteered Guy, assisted by John Lovelady. Jane Henson puppeteered Prairie (to Fran Brill's voice from the original recording).
• Fisher-Price made a Sesame Street electronic game in 1995 called "What's My Letter?", inspired by this sketch.
