The Salute to Israel parade is an annual parade held in New York City since 1964 to support the country of Israel. In 2011, the parade was broadcast on television for the first time.

During the June 5th, 2011 parade, Grover joined Israeli TV presenter Becky Griffin and FOX reporter John Huddy in their press booth during the parade coverage. Grover promoted the Shalom Sesame video series, and appeared on and off during the second hour of the broadcast.
